maam Ahmad Ridaa’ Khaan 1272-1340 AD/1856-1921 AD. A Shaikh ul-Islam of his time and one of the great renewers of Islam in India in particular and of the Muslim world in general. There is no science in Islam that this Hanafi saint did not pen a work in and the same can be said for most of the secular sciences as well. A great Polemicist and a fighter of heresies, he spent most of his life fighting the cults and their influence. His victory over falsehood is one of the clearest examples that when one wants something only for the sake of Allah, they will be victorious and granted it by His Will.
