NEW DELHI : World-renowned cleric and chief of Dargah e Aala Hazrat, Mufti Muhammad Akhtar Raza Khan Qadiri has passed away on Friday evening. He had been suffering from illness for a long period of time and died at the age of 80.
Basically, Mufti Akhtar Raza was great-grandson and successor of Mujaddid Ahmed Raza Khan aka Aala Hazrat Khan, the founder of the Barelvi movement.
With the news of his demise a large number of people rushed to the Bareilly Sharif to pay the last homage; as per the estimation, around 10 lakh followers of him (both Hindu-Muslim) had taken part in his Namaz-e-Janaza (funeral) at 10.30 pm, on July, 22. As well the police of thirty districts managed the arrangement in the city.
Mufti Mohammed Akhtar Raza Khan Qaderi was born on the 26th of Muharram 1362H / 2nd of February 1943 in Bareilly Shareef to Maulana Ibrahim Raza Khan. He received basic education from Manzar -e-Islam madarsa of Dargah-e-Aala Hazrat and Islamia inter college, Bareilly; and later pursued higher education at Al Azhar University, Egypt.

May Mufti sahab rest in peace and Allah grant him Jannatul Firdous.
But the author mentions 10 million followers–that is one crore actually !
maybe figure is more like 10 lacs–or one million, which itself is huge, SubhanAllah!
Correct
The world is going into the darkness. Tajjus shariah had enormous knowledge related to islam. Indeed he was a great person and spend his whole life for islam and directed large number of people on the right path.
Salam ho un par.
more than 10 million people had attended his funeral not 10 lacs.
i have seen this in bareilly yesterday.
Hazrat status first he is the grandson of Ala Hazrat, he is also great scholar graduated from Al Ahzar University. No doubt Allah Taala has reserved a very special place for him.
good
The fact is 1.5 crore
