Mohd Ateeque (Pathan) born in Garhi Dilawar, one of the prominent villages of Rae bareli. Before all I will prefer to clear where the village Garhi Dilawar does locate. Garhi Dilawar (a village of Satan Purwa) is 5 Km. west to Inhauna and 15 Km. east to Haider Garh. It borders Chilouli (Post) to its north and Shiv Ratan Ganj (Thana = Police Station) to the Suoth. History Of Garhi Dilawar

There are four Garhi(s) in Satanpurwa. The village got named after Dilawar Khan grandfather of this village. Formerly the people of these villages were Thakur (Singh). After arival of Makhdum Ashraf RLA, the people came in touch with Islam. And within a short period of time the whole area became Muslim. Even today the mejority of the inhabitant of Rai Bareli is Muslim.

The old name of Garhi Dilawer is Behrana. Even today many outsider people call this village as Behrana.

Actually there were many Jungles in this Village containing the trees of Bair, that is, reportedly, why this village got named Behrana.

Behrana, the village, is located near Inhuona, a Quesba of Rae Bareli which is much more famous for Choudhry Md. Azhar Husain. There are many well known characters in Behrana like Mr. Sufi Zamin Ali Khan, Haji Maqbool Alam Khan, Haji Sohrab Ahmed Khan. These Khans (Pathans) are totally devoted to Islam. This is to say all the villagers are the followers of Islam. Sufi Zamin should be given a credit to light the lamp of education here in this village which later gave some character like Fuzail Ahmed Khan, Mohd Ateeque Khan, Mohd Hasnain Khan and Abdul Haque Khan etc.

In this village there is an Islamic Institute under the name of Ashraful Uloom Mohammadia, Garhi Dilawar which is serving the Muslim Community to it's best.
