Ijtihadi family
The Ijtihadi family (or Khandān-e-Ijtihād) is sub-branch of the Naqvis of Darul Ijtihad Jais and Nasirabad. The family uses last name "Naqvi" to denote that they are descendants of the Islamic prophet Muhammad through the lineage of the Imam Ali al-Naqi.
Roots
The famous Oudh family of Sayyids of Jais and Nasirabad settled in Rae Bareli during the eleventh century and has remained there since.[1] Naqvi Sadats migrated from Subzwar (Iran) and arrived in Jais around 410 Hijri (around 1027 AD). During the reign of Sher Shah Suri, adjacent Patakpur was also inhabited by Momineens and renamed Nasirabad, after Syed Naseerudin Jaisi. Ayattollah Al Uzma Sayyid Dildar Ali Naqvi 'Gufraanmaab Naseerabadi al Jaisi', his family came to be called Khandan e Ijtihad due to prominence of high-ranking scholars in its midst.
