These qualities of Saadat-e-Amroha can be attributed due to its rich heritage. The members of Saadat-e-Amroha are direct descendants of the Holy Prophet, Muhammad PBUH. Almost all the families trace their lineage tree (Shajra) to the Prophet and are quite proud of it. Specifically, they are the descendant of great Sufi Saint Syed Hussain Sharfuddin Shah Wilayat who was in 11th generation of Imam Ali Naqi, the tenth Imam of Shias and 20th generation of the Prophet Muhammad PBUH. In their religious belief the members of Saadat-e-Amroha are tolerant and broad minded leaning more towards spiritual virtues than radical Islam.

Members of Saadat-e-Amroha inherited high moral and rich cultural values as their forefathers belonged to the landed aristocracy and nobility of Mughal era. One of the great grandfather of the members of Saadat-e-Amroha, Syed Muhammad ‘Mir Adl’, was the Chief Justice during the rule of ‘Akbar the Great’, and others were appointed as judges from time to time by the royal court. In addition, their ancestors had scholastics pursuits and many of them were poets and writers. Inherently Saadat-e-Amroha members have strong sense of equity, justice and fair play.

Saadat-e-Amroha members are spread all around the world. More than 100,000 are living in Amroha, Delhi and other parts of India. Around 50,000 are in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad and other cities of Pakistan. A large number is living in England, Middle East and Australia.

The older generation knows each other very well while the younger generation is not so close to each other. Anjuman Saadat-e-Amroha has been making conscious efforts to keep the younger generations connected and maintain its links, tradition and cultural values.

Saadat-e-Amroha are primarily community welfare oriented. Besides other welfare activities, they are more inclined to promote educational pursuits. They have successfully established very good schools, with subsidised fees, in Pakistan and India providing secular education.

Our Roots

“Saadat-e-Amroha” originally comes from a small town called Amroha located eighty-one miles (130km) east of Delhi. Amroha is one of the most ancient cities of India. Local theories of the source of its name differ. One originates ‘Amroha’ from the Sanskrit word “Amrovanam, the area of mangoes” another is that the name is combination of “Aam” (mango) and “Rohu” (a Kind of fish), which are found in abundance in the River Sot which flows through Amroha.

Our Heritage

Syed Sharfuddin Shah Wilayat had two sons, Syed Mir Ali Bazurg, Syed Abdul Aziz and a daughter Baqia-ut-Tahirah aka Bibi Bakhui.

It is said that Hazrat Shah Wilayat’s spiritual influence, preaching and reverence had reached to the Sultan of Delhi. This is evident from the fact that Syed Mir Ali Bazurg, the elder son of Hazrat Shah Wilayat was appointed as Qazi (Judge) of Amroha by Sultan of Delhi.
