Hadrat acquired the title of 'Shaykh al-Islam' in 1974 when the Ulema-e-Haqq (Righteous Scholars) of India started addressing him as such. Among the Ulema present at the time were Mufti-e-Azam al-Hind Mawlana Mustapha Raza Khan Rahmatullahi alayh of Bareilly Shareef (son of Ala'Hadrat Azeem al-Barkat Imam-e-Ahl al-Sunnat Mawlana Shah Ahmad Raza Khan Radi Allahu ta'ala anhu) ; and Hadrat's Pir-o-Murshid - Shaykh al-Mashaykh, Mawlana Sayyad Mukhtar Ashraf 'Sarkar-e-Kalan' Rahmatullahi alayh.

Hadrat was first addressed as 'Raees al-Muhaqiqeen'1 by His Holiness 'Gazzali-e-Doaran' Shaykh al-Hadith Hadrat Mawlana Sayyad Ahmad Saeed Kazmi Rahmatullahi alayh of Multan, Pakistan after Hadrat had sent for his perusal a fatwa on the Islamic use of television & video.
Gazzali-e-Doaran Sayyad Ahmad Saeed Kazmi Rahmatullahi alayh was so pleased with Hadrat's ruling and the excellent way that he had dealt with such a difficult subject that he replied to Hadrat as 'Raees-al Muhaqiqeen'. A letter confirming this was published in the monthly journal 'Al-Ashraf ' in Karachi in 1986. It is testament to Hadrat's knowledge that Muslims around the world almost universally rely on this fatawa (edict) when recording religious programmes. 1. Al-Ashraf - Karachi 1986 |
