Our Blessed Lineage

With great honor and respect, we welcome you to our website. We belong to the noble lineage of Imam Ali ibn Musa al-Ridha (AS), the eighth Imam from the pure progeny of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.

According to scholars of genealogy, although there is slight difference regarding the exact number of his children, all agree that his blessed lineage continued through Imam Muhammad al-Jawad (AS), Imam Ali al-Hadi (AS), and Sayyid Musa al-Mubarraqa (AS).

Sayyid Musa al-Mubarraqa (AS) was born in Madinah. After the martyrdom of his father, he migrated to Kufa in 256 AH (870 CE), and later settled in Qom.

He passed away in Rabi' al-Thani 296 AH (18 January 909 CE). He was a great scholar of Hadith whose narrations were transmitted by Shaykh al-Tusi, Shaykh al-Mufid, and Ibn Shu'bah al-Harrani.

His sisters Sayyida Zaynab, Umm Muhammad, and Maymuna later migrated to Qom and are buried near Lady Fatima al-Ma'suma (SA).

From his lineage emerged the Rizvi Sadaat of Mashhad. Sayyid Shams al-Din Amjad Rizvi became custodian of the Shrine of Imam al-Ridha (AS) during the Timurid era.

During the Safavid period, the Rizvi Sadaat held high religious offices including Sadr and Naqib al-Sadaat.

Later, Sayyid Ahmad migrated from Bukhara to Deccan (Hyderabad), and the family became known as “Bukhari Rizvi.”

Sayyid Yusuf Khan Rizvi migrated to Kashmir and was honored with the title “Khan.”

Today, his descendants continue to serve Islam through education, religious guidance, and social service across various countries.
