As salaamu alaii kumm wa rahmatullahi wa barakath,
Maulana Rahmatullah Kayranvi (may Allah have mercy on him) (1818-1891) - the Indian origin scholar of the Islamic sciences including jurisprudence best known for his magnum opus 'Izhar ul Huq or The Truth Revealed!' was a honorable warrior in the battle for freedom (also known as the Sepoy Mutiny or The 1857 Uprising) from the British occupied India which took place in 1857. The uprising failed due to various reasons, and Maulana Kayranvi who also happens to be a descendant of the 3rd caliph of Muslims, Caliph Usman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) migrated to Makkah Mukarrama via Mocha, Yemen (where he arrived aboard a ship from Bombay, India). He actually walked the distance of about 600 miles (970 kilometers) from Mocha, Yemen to Makkah which took him about 2 years !!
After having migrated to the sacred land, he intended to set up an Islamic seminary but scarcity of resources proved to be a real hurdle.
That's until the help of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala descended.
Begum Sawlatunnisa (may Allah have mercy on her), a woman known for her generosity and a descendant of the pious Muslim ruler of the erstwhile kingdom of Mysore in South India, Hadrath Tipu Sultan (may Allah have mercy on him) (1750-1799) who fought against the hegemony of the English till his last breath (he died a martyr on the battlefield fighting against them in the fourth Anglo Mysore war) and who is said to be the descendant of the tribe of Quraish of Makkah (the tribe the last Prophet of God, Prophet Muhammed (peace be upon him) belonged to) happened to visit the Holy land (probably for the pilgrimage) around that time.
This cannot be undone and I am sure it will be greatly appreciated.
