Hashmat Ali Khan Qadri (1902–3 July 1960) was an Indian Barelvi Islamic cleric, author and writer.[1] He was the spiritual successor of Ahmed Raza Khan.[2][3][4][5][6]
Early life and education[edit]
He was born in 1902 in Amethi, Lucknow, India. By the age of 9, he had already qualified as a Hafizul Quran, memorizing the entire Quran.[7] At the age of 12, he mastered Qirat-e-Saba, which refers to the seven canonical recitations of the Quran.[8][9][10][11]
At the young age of 14, he was sent to Dar al-Uloom Manzar-e-Islam in Bareilly to study under the tutelage of the scholars of his time. There, he became a disciple of the Islamic scholar and Sufi Ahmed Raza Khan. He paid special attention to the young Maulana Hashmat Ali.[12][13][14]
He also studied under Maulana Amjad Ali Aazmi, and Hujjatul Islam, Maulana Hamid Raza Khan, who was the son of Ahmed Raza Khan Barelvi. His educational journey was marked by his excellence in learning and debating, which earned him the title of “Abul Fatah” from Ahmed Raza Khan.[15][16][17]
His early life set the foundation for his later achievements as a lecturer, Mufti, and Principal in various religious institutions, and as a Khateeb at the Zeenat-ul-Masjid in Gojra Waala.[18][19]
