Then the intense “revivalist” labours of the Barelwi learned man, Mawlawi Ahmad Rida Khan Sahib, created further intensity and versatility in it. As such, this battle continued to advance, until, at the end of the Great War [i.e. the First World War] when the calamity of the Turks turned the attention of the Muslims of India inwards and the Khilafah movement began, then for some days this battlefield turned cold, and (all praise to Allah!) for several years the ears of the Muslim masses were unacquainted with these matters.

This was until in 1342 H (1924 CE) an unexpected revolution occurred in the Hijaz, and the leadership of the Arabs went out of the hands of Sharif Husayn and into the hands of the king of Najd, Ibn Sa‘ud, who according to his views and beliefs, began a series of reforms there. Thus, here, the Ahl al-Bid‘ah found an opportunity to again revive their dead movement, whereupon the battleground on [the issues of] “building over graves,” “plastering graves,” “‘urs,” “fatihah,” “vowing to other than Allah,” “knowledge of ghayb” and other matters again reignited..."
