Who is Pir Mohammad Tayyab Ur Rahman?

Also known as Lal Pir, (Pir Mohammad Tayyab ur Rehman) belongs to an illustrious family of Islamic scholars and saints, hailing from the Bhera Shareef, Haripur District in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan. Manuscripts written by his ancestors date back over 350 years.

His forefathers include Hazrat Shaykh Imamuddin (may Allah be pleased with him), a great scholar of Mantiq (Logic) and Hadith. He received his religious education at Hashtnagri, Peshawar and received his Khilafat from Hazrat Akhund Darweza Baba (Hazrat Pir Baba – may Allah be pleased with him) of Swat. Students and disciples flocked to him from around the world. Hazrat Imamuddin was a prolific writer of handwritten books, many of which can still be found in the Bhera Shareef library.

Hazrat Mohammad Kamiluddin (may Allah be pleased with him) was one of Hazrat Shaykh Imamuddin’s sons. He was a class fellow of Hazrat Pir Sayyid Mehr Ali Shah (may Allah be pleased with him) and received his Khilafate from Pir Sayyidd Fazaldin Qadri Golravi (maternal uncle of Pir Mehr Ali Shah – may Allah be pleased with him). He was described as Majzub – one who is attracted to the Truth, Finah-fi-Rasool – one who has annihilated their self in the love of the Prophet ﷺ, an Alim, a writer, and a Hakeem (a doctor of non-Western, traditional medicine). His shrine is in Ayma Shareef, Pakistan. Hazrat Shaykh Imamuddin’s other son was Hazrat Abdul Aleem (may Allah be pleased with him), a graduate from Shahjahanpur, India. Hazrat Abdul Aleem (may Allah be pleased with him) was a Shaykh-ul-Hadith w’al Tafsir, he had many students from all over Pakistan.

Hazrat Mohammad Abdul Aleem (may Allah be pleased with him) had three sons, Hazrat Allama Mohammad Rafiuddin (may Allah be pleased with him), Hazrat Allama Waliuddin (may Allah be pleased with him) and Hazrat Khwajah Pir Mohammad Fazlur Rehman Qadri (may Allah be pleased with him). Hazrat Allama Mohammad Rafiuddin (may Allah be pleased with him) had two sons; Mohammad Atyab and Hazrat Allama Abdur-Raoof (retired headteacher). Hazrat Allama Waliuddin’s son was Professor Mohammad Shafiq-ur-Rehman (MSc in Chemistry).

Connecting from Chain to Chain

Hazrat Khwajah Pir Mohammad Fazlur Rehman Qadri was one of the great saints of his time, and also a Faqih (Islamic jurist) and Hakeem. He received his preliminary education from his father. He also went to Taxila and studied at the Darul Uloom Rajua. Later he went to Kanyal village and studied Nahw and Sarf (Arabic grammar) there. Hazrat Mohammad Fazlur Rehman Qadri was Khalifa-e-Azam (chief disciple) of the great Pole of Sainthood, Hazrat Khwajah Ghaus-e-Zaman Mohammad Abdur Rehman Chohrvi (may Allah be pleased with him).

Among Hazrat Mohammad Abdur Rehman Chohrvi’s disciples was also the late Field Marshal Mohammad Ayub Khan (former President of Pakistan). Hazrat Mohammad Abdur Rehman Chohrvi (may Allah be pleased with him) founded the Darul Uloom Islamia Rehmania in Haripur City in 1902 and appointed Hazrat Mohammad Fazlur Rehman Qadri as Muhtamim (chief administrator). Hazrat Khwajah Ghaus-e-Zaman Mohammad Abdur Rehman Chohrvi (may Allah be pleased with him) was a man bestowed with great favours from Allah, the great saint was unlettered, having received no formal education, but rather received inspiration from Allah from which transpired the most comprehensive book of peace and blessings upon the beloved Prophet ﷺ ever written, entitled ‘Majmuwa Salawat-ur-Rasool ﷺ’ which spans 5 volumes split into 30 Juz (parts).

When the saint would receive these inspirations he would instruct his Khalifa, Hazrat Mohammad Fazlur Rehman Qadri (may Allah be pleased with him) to write them down (the entire work is available for free on the Qadria Trust website). Hazrat Mohammad Fazlur Rehman Qadri’s son was Hazrat Pir Mohammad Mohib ur Rehman Qadri (also known as Chan Pir – ‘the moon of guidance’), whose son is Pir Mohammad Tayyab ur Rehman Qadri.

A Fountain of Knowledge and Wisdom

This fountain of knowledge and wisdom springing from within Haripur predominantly stems from the madrassah in Bhera Shareef, where hundreds of students are currently studying the sacred knowledge of Islam. This family of prominent scholars and great saints has spread the teachings of Islam in the light of Sufism throughout the world and have devotees in their thousands all across the globe.

Pir Mohammad Tayyab ur Rehman Qadri was born in Tanda, District Mansehra, KPK in 1973. He began his Islamic education locally, which was continued in Darul Uloom Islamia Qadria, Behra Shareef (including commencing Hifz-E-Quran). He continued his education in Islamic sciences in the Darul Uloom Islamia Rehmania, Haripur. Following this he spent eight years studying in Wah Cantt (Punjab). He also went to Jamia Nizamia, Lahore, where he spent one and a half years, and also studied at the Jamia Islamia Akora Khattak (Ahle-Sunnat, Brehlvi) in KPK, from where he graduated. Following this he began working as an Arabic teacher at the Government High School Sarri, Haripur. Hazrat Pir Mohammad Mohib ur Rehman Qadri RA had planned for his son to run the Madrassa, but his grandfather through marriage (Hazrat Mohammad Gul Rehman Qadri), Mufti Azam of the UK, voiced his desire for Pir Mohammad Tayyab ur Rehman Qadri to come to the UK. In 1997, Pir Sahib took up the role of Imam and Khateeb of Jamia Masjid Rahmania, Charles Road, Birmingham.
