Naqvi

There are differing opinions about the number of sons of Imam Ali Al-Naqi. The statement of 7 sons has been made by Moulvi Syed Basheer Hussain, compiler of the book Shajrate Saddate Amroha, who lists:

1. Imam Hasan al-Askari,
2. Syed Muhammad,
3. Syed Hussain,
4. Syed Abdullah,
5. Syed Zaid,
6. Syed Mussa,
7. Syed Jaffar, also known as Jaffar al-Zaki or Jaffarus Sani.

These seven names have also been referenced in the book Anwar-e-Alsadat. In addition, there are at least two people whose hand-written pedigree from the beginning (Imam Naqi) to the end have been accepted. These pedigrees confirm the sons of Imam Ali Naqi Al Hadi as seven in number.[1]

Besides Hassan Askari, three of the sons, Hussain, Muhammad and Jafar, and one daughter named Ailia from different wives have been mentioned by various scholars, including Shaikh Mufeed.[2][3][4][5]

These are descendants of Imam Hadi from Syed Jaffer. They migrated from Iraq to Afghanistan, then on the request of Sultan Shamus din Altamash migrated to Delhi India. During that period, they stayed in Multan Pakistan. At that time, there were only two brothers, Syed Shamus din Naqvi and Syed Shabud Din Naqvi. The eldest son of Syed Shamus Din Naqvi was Syed Moenun Din Naqvi and also the founder of State Mohena. After his death, Syed Raziu Din Ahmed Naqvi took over. His two sons, Syed Sarwar Tahir Naqvi and Syed Bah Din Naqvi lived in Mohena. Syed Sarwar Tahir Naqvi had six sons:

1. Syed Meethey (سید مٹھے)
2. Syed Ladilay (سید لاڈلے)
3. Syed Moeen (سید معین)
4. Syed Shams (سید شمس)
5. Syed Razi (سید رضی)
6. Syed Raazi (سید راضی)

From these six, the Mohena family spread and live in India and Pakistan to this day, due to most of the Mohena migrating to Pakistan after the Independence of Pakistan in 1947.

Sirsi is an ancient town of the "sa'adat" (Syeds) in the Moradabad District of Uttar Pradesh, India. Syed Ali Arab Naqvi Neshapuri Shaheed, the ancestor of these Naqvis, migrated from Neshapur, Iran to India in 632 AH.[6]

Many descendants of Imam Al-Naqi live in Amroha. Syed Husain Sharfuddin Shah Wilayat Naqvi migrated from Al-Wasit, Iraq to Amroha, India. A considerable population of them moved to Pakistan after 1947.[7]

Tando Jahania (Sindh-ٹنڈوجهانياں) is a small town located in the city of Hyderabad, Pakistan. The town has a history of Sufism as the Syeds from Multan migrated here making it a sacred place for Muslims. These Syeds came here from Uch Sharif (Bahawalpur District) via Jahanian (Khanewal District 42 km from Multan). These were the descendants of Jahaniyan Jahangasht a famous Sufi saint.[8][9][10][11] The family’s lineage is linked to Jalaluddin Surkh-Posh Bukhari of Uch Sharif (Punjab, Pakistan) and that makes the lineage the descendants of Imam Naqi (Ali al-Hadi); the descendant of Imam Ali and the Islamic prophet Muhammad.[12]

Naqvi sadaat are also found in Abdullapur, Meerut. They are descendants of Jalaluddin Surkh-Posh Bukhari through Syed Sadarudin Shah Kabir Naqvi Al Bukhari warrior and chief advisor of King Sikandar Lodi and father of great saint Shah Jewna .[13][14][15]They were jagirdars before implementation of Zamidari Abolition Act, 1950. The Pakistani writer, linguist and critic Syed Qudrat Naqvi was born in Abdullapur, he was also known as Syed Shuja’at Ali Naqvi Al-Bukhari; he migrated to Pakistan after the partition of India.[16][17][18][19]
