The Barelwi movement continues to attract a large following both in South Asia and wherever South Asian Muslims have migrated, particularly in Britain. This book examines the life and thought of Ahmad Riza Khan in the context of late nineteenth and early twentieth- century British Indian history, and assesses his impact on contemporary reformist Muslim movements. Accessible yet authoritative, it features a glossary, chronology and guide to further reading, and will prove an indispensable resource for readers of all backgrounds.
