Naqvi
 | This article needs additional citations for verification. (October 2013) |
The Naqvi sadah (Arabic: السادة النقاويين) are people with the last name "Naqvi" and who are direct descendants of the Islamic prophet Muhammad through the lineage of the Imam Ali al-Naqi. Ali Naqi was the 10th Twelver Shi'a imam and direct descendant of the daughter of Muhammad, Fatimah and her husband Ali, the first Shi'a imam, believed by them to be the successor of the Muhammad. Some Naqvis trace their ancestry back to Ali al-Naqi through his sons Ja'far al-Sani and Husain ul Asghar while others trace it through his other sons.[1]
Sons of Imam Ali Naqi
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 book "Shajrat-e-Saddat-e-Amroha" who describes son names:
- Imam Hasan al-Askari,
- Syed Muhammad,
- Syed Hussain,
- Syed Abdullah,
- Syed Zaid,
- Syed Mussa,
- Syed Jaffar also known as Jaffar al Zaki or Jaffar-us-Sani.
These seven names have also been referred in by the writer of book "Anwar-e-Alsadat" remarking the point of controversy in number of sons. In addition, there are at least two personalities whose hand written pedigree from top (Imam Naqi) to bottom have been accepted and annexed to book. These pedigrees confirm the sons of Imam Ali Naqi Al Hadi as seven in number.[2]
Besides Hassan Askari, three sons (i) Hussain (ii) Muhammad (iii) Jafar and one daughter “Ailia” from different wives have been mentioned by various biographic scholars, including Shaikh Mufeed.[3][4][5][6] Issues of these sons are traceable in different pedigree books published by researchers from time
Naqvis of Sirsi Sadat
Sirsi is an ancient Town of Sadat in Moradabad District in Uttar Pradesh, India. Syed Ali Arab Naqvi Neshapuri Shaheed, the ancestor of Naqvis of Sirsi Sadat, migrated from Neshapur, Iran to India in 632 AH.[7]
Naqvis of Amroha
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.[8]
Naqvis of Tando Jahania
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.[9][10][11][12] The family’s lineage is linked to Jalaluddin Surkh-Posh Bukhari of Uch Sharif (Punjab, Pakistan) and that makes the lineage the descendents of Imam Naqi (Ali al-Hadi); the descendent of Imam Ali and the Islamic prophet Muhammad.[13]
