His grandfather, Syed Usman, came to india from Samarkhand with his family and settled down in Jaunpur on the invitation of the Sharqiya Kings. He was the most famous Ulema, and a noted Alim-e-Deen (Scholar of the Religion). Syed Mohammed was a descendent of Imam Moosa Al-Kazim.

Life
Travels
He left Jaunpur along with his family and a small group of followers. Migrating from place to place and gathering more companions the Mahdavia group reached Farah in Afghanistan .
Pilgrimage and claim to be the Mahdi
By the age of 53 he embarked on the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca, where in 1496 (901 Hijri), after circumambulating the Kaaba, he declared that he was the Promised Mahdi and whoever believes in him is a Momin.
He was generally ignored by the ulema of Mecca, and after staying in Mecca for nearly seven or nine months[2] he returned to India where he proclaimed himself Mahdi at Ahmedabad and later at Badhli (near Patan, Gujarat).
