Until now, it is known in Alwar, India, that if any non-believer comes in direct eye contract with Hazrat Sahib gets the blessings of God and utters out “there is no one but Allah (the Almighty)”.

Hazrat Shah Mufti Muhammad Mehmood Alwari (r.a.) was born and brought up by such a spiritual, intellectual and literary personality. Soon he was able to get command over arabic and religious education. Than to gain higher education, he travelled to Ajmer, Delhi and Bhopal, the than centers of education and knowledge. For several years he studied in those cities (in present terms Universities) and reached the heights in Tafseer, Hadith, Fiqqah, Balaghat, Adab, Logic, Tib-o-Hikmat and several other subjects. His distinct teachers were Sadrul-Sharya Maulana Muhammad Amjad Ali Azmi (Author of Bahar-e-Sharyat), Maulana Abdul Hai (Student of Maulana Barkat Ahmed Tonki), Maulana Abdul Majeed (Sahibzada Faqihul-Hind Muhammad Masood Dehelvi), Hakeem Jameeluddin (Ustad Masihul-Mulk Hakeem Ajmal Khan), Hakeem Muhammad Ahmed Khan, (Masihul-Mulk Sani) and many other scholars of the time.

In view of his interest and enthusiasm towards the education and in respect of his spirituality and dignity, he was loved and respected by his teachers too.

He learned and got command over Ilmul Tauqeet-o-Meeras from his father-in-law Mufti-e-Azam Hind Shah Muhammad Mazharullah (r.a.), who was the Imam of Shahi Mosque Fathe Poori Delhi. How much he loved Hazrat Mufti Muhammad Mehmood Alwari is eminent from the statement of known expert of Rizviyat Prof. Dr. Muhammad Masaud. He states “It was such an affection that his own kin will not stand in between, if we go thru his letters written to Hazrat Mufti Muhammad Mehmood we will find great love and affection, a very special relation can be felt therein.”

Since Allah the almighty, in virtu of his beloved Prophet (pbuh) had chosen Hazrat Mufti Muhammad Mehmood Alwari (r.a.) to preach and spread Islam hence it was desirable to bestow Mufti Sahib with the education knowledge of this world as well as the esoteric knowledge (divine). It happened so, after completing the academic education to its utmost for about 20 to 25 years, one day his bestowed father and spiritual leader said to him “My son there are two types of knowledge, one is Ilm-e-Safina (Knowledge from the books) and other is Ilm-e-Seena (Heart to Heart transmitted knowledge). You have obtained Ilm-e-safina well but remember Elm-e-Seena can not be obtained from the books, it comes only from the company of those people whom Allah loves”, these words went so deep into his heart that for the rest of his life he sunk himself into it.

After the creation of Pakistan, he migrated from India to Pakistan. Where he established a great educational and spiritual institution namely Ruknul-Islam Jamia Mujaddidya, with the sole objective of that this institution should produce people of faith and knowledge in both of these fields. And that they will spread love and true knowledge of Islam and guide the people towards the faith of the Holy Prophet (pbuh).

Hazrat Mufti Sahib was a great scholar and an intellectual he himself started taking classes. He also took missionary towers to enlighten the villages and distant urban areas despite he was suffering from weakness and asthma. Besides all of these responsibilities he kept on writing the books and completed those books left in process by his father, like “Kitabus Sayam”, “Kitabul Haj”, and Kitabuz Zakat”. He also wrote and left unpublished Tafseer of Amma Para of Quran, which is now published by his grand son. He provided the guidance to the followers of the Holy Prophet (pbuh). May Allah accept these efforts in the court of His own and of His beloved Prophet (pbuh) Ameen.

After spending sixty to seventy years of his life in preaching Islam and the path of the Holy Prophet (pbuh), on 12 of Shaban 1407 Hijra while on a preaching visit to Punjab he suffered an asthma attack and happily left this mortal world.

On this sad demise, not only his students, friends, followers and companions were grieved but the whole country. The former Prime Minister of Pakistan, Mr. Muhammad Khan Junejo, Justice Pir Muhammad Karam Shah al-Azhari, Quaid Millat-e-Islamia Allama Shah Ahmed Noorani, Ustad-ul-Ulama Allama Ataa Muhammad Bandialvi Golarvi, Shareh Bukhari Syed Muhammad Mehmood Ahmed Rizvi, Shahi Imam Masjid Fathehpuri Delhi Mufti Muhammad Mukarram Naqshbandi, Sajjada Nasheen Khwaja Ajmeri Dewan Syed Aal-e-Mujtaba, Maulana Taqaddus Ali Khan, Pir Ibrahim Jan Sirhindi and several other Ulma and Scholars were in the state of grief and sorrow to the deepest of their hearts.

At the time of his funeral Prayers (Namaz-e-Janaza), third day of morn (Soyam) and on the fortieth day (Chehlum) presence of a huge number of people from both inside and outside the country including Qauid Millat-e-Islamia Allama Shah Ahmed Noorani made the occasion an indescribable moment.

The Justice Pir Karam Shah al-Azhari said, “Alas, how sad is the vanishing of a candle of guidance, when we are agog for every single gleam of light. What else it could be! but a disastrous tragedy. Nowhere could we found such personalities who, at the same time have complete command over knowledge and have piety and love in life. The personality of Hazrat Mufti Muhammad Mehmood Alwari was gracious and blessing not only for us but also for whole of the Muslim World”. Bold textBold text'' Big text
