I was born in a family of ulema in a
small town SEOHARA (Dist Bijnor). My grand father Maulana Hifzurrehman Sehwarvi
who was also known as “Mujahid-e-Millat” was among the top scholars of Deoband,
general secretary of Jamiat-ul-Ulema and M.P from Amroha. He has authored
several books among which most popular is “QASAS-UL-QURAN” in four volumes. My
father was Professor in Education Department and later he has joined as
Principal of Embassy School Al Jubail in K.S.A.
Since childhood I was very fond of
Islamic studies specially Islamic History and this reading of history created a
special place and love of “AHLE BAIT” in my heart. As I have studied in a
convent school so I was not able to read Urdu. I learnt Urdu and later on
Arabic when I was a lecturer at regional engineering college Srinagar.
Since childhood I had a special love
and attraction for Syedna Ali and I tried to collect any book or article on
Syedna Ali: while I was reading a book on Syedna Ali titled “Seerat-e-Syedna
Ali” by some Mohammad Nafey from Lahore.
I noticed that he tried his level best to degrade Hazrat Ali as much as
possible. One day when I was sleeping I dreamed that prophet Muhammad
was sitting and
in his front Syedna Ali was standing and he was badly wounded, all of his
clothes were stained with blood. Prophet
called me and
he gave me some sort of medicine and told me to apply this on wounds of Hazrat
Ali. When I wake up I asked for the interpretation of this dream from a pious
person he told me that Prophet wants you to publicize “Fazail” of Syedna Ali as
much as possible.


Since than I started writing on this
topic and up till now I have compiled and authored almost 50 books and
pamphlets. I have traveled widely in Middle East including Syria, Saudi
Arabia, Iraq
and Iran
and have collected thousand of rare books and manuscripts.
I have
published rare books on Fazail-e-Ali and Ahle Bait authored by reputed scholars and Imam’s of Ahle Sunat like:
1. Imam Ahmad Bin Hanbal
2. Hafiz Ibne-Katheer
3. Hafiz Abu Nuyaim Asfhani
4. Imam Tabrani
5. Imam Hakim
6. Allama Zehbi
7. Imam Jazri
8. Allama Jalaluddin Suyuti
9. Allama Ghummari Shafai
10. Nawab Siddiq Hasan Khan
11. Shaikh Abdul Haq Muhaddith Dehlavi
By the grace of Allah (S.W.T) my
biggest achievement is that I have published three rare manuscripts for the
first time
(1) Fazil-e-Fatima Zehra By Imam Hakim
(2) Aalam-ul-Nasar-ul-mubeen by Imam Dahi-ul-Kalabi
(3) Ahwal-e-eAyema Ithna Asliar by Shaikh Abdul
Haq Muhaddith Dehlvi (there is only one manuscript of this book available in the
world in Khuda Bakhsh oriental public library Patna
India)
Alhamadullilah Allah has given me
several chances to visit his holy Kabah and the holiest city of Prophet
Medina. Syeda Fatima
herself has taught me a durood which I have printed in form of a card titled
“Darood-e-Fatmi”. I am a humble servant of Prophet, his family and companions
(Be peace upon them). May Allah accept my good deeds and forgive my bad deeds
and sins (Ameen)
