The blessed Genealogy of Sayyidinah Ala Hazrat
Imam Ahmad Raza Khan Faazil e Barelwi Alaihir Rahmah
The following ancestral tree of Ala Hazrat Imam Ahmad Raza Khan Alaihir Rahmah is carefully constructed from the authentic Books of Genealogy and meticulously scrutinized with references to other books in this field. The ancestors were compared with dates and periods found in books written by Historians who were masters in this field. The following points were noted before compiling the Ancestral tree:
Preference was given to books compiled by Historians of Afghan descent/origin as they knew their descendants better than others.
Furthermore, amongst the Afghani Historians, preference was given to Historians that belonged to the Bar'hech tribe as AlaHadrat Imam Ahmad Rida Khan Alaihir raHmah belong to the Bar'hech tribe.
There is not much dispute in the Chain of the Ancestral tree from Sayyiduna Nabi Adam Alaihis Salaam to Sayyiduna Nabi Ishaq Alaihis Salaam.
The chain of the Family tree from Sayyiduna Nabi Ishaq Alaihis Salaam to Hazrat Malikaloot Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anhu was extracted according to the citation found in the books of authors who belonged to the Bar'hech tribe. This was so because people of a tribe will have more genuine information of their ancestors in relation to others of different tribes.
There is a consensus in Books of Ancestral trees from Hazrat Malikaloot Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anhu to Sayyiduna Qais Malik 'Abdur-Rashid Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anhu and so is the case from Sayyiduna 'Abdur-Rashid Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anhu to Bar'hech Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anhu .
From Bar'hech Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anhu till Hadrat Shuja'at Jang Muhammad Sa'eedullah Khan Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anhu the genealogy was extracted from Khulasat al-Ansab, Akhbar al-Sanadid and Bustan-e-Hikmat , whose authors are not only Afghanis, but belonged to the Bar'hech tribe.
This is how cautiously this Family tree from Sayyiduna Nabi Adam Alaihis Salaam till Ala Hazrat Imam Ahmad Raza Khan Alaihir Rahma was constructed. The Ancestral tree is as follows:
