Political activities of Imam Ahmad Raza Khan

Imam Ahmad Raza’s Politics was very simple & based upon Islamic thoughts. He opposed Hijra movement, Jehad movement, Khilafat movement and Non-cooperation movement because they were launched by Gandhi & Hindus & not for welfare of Muslims & in the Sympathy of usmani Sultanate of Turkey. Infact the Hindus wanted liberat India from Briish Govt, wanted to rule over the country forming it as "Ram Rajya" & making Muslims as their subjects and slaves. In opposing Non cooperation movement what ever :Imam Ahmad Raza did not support of British Govt but in opposition of Muslim Hindu Unity. He declared the cooperation with any Kaffir and Mushrik Unlawful.

  • "Hijrah from Darul Islam is unlawful as there is desolation of the mosques, disgrace of graves & ruin of women, children and old aged people.
