Sayyids of Jarwal

Many of the early Sufi saints that came to North India belonged to Sayyid families. Most of these Sayyid families came from Central Asia and Iran, but some also originate from Yemen, Oman, Iraq and Bahrain. Perhaps the most famous Sufi was Syed Salar Masud, from whom many of the Sayyid families of Awadh claim their descent.[2] Sayyids of Jarwal (Bahraich), Kintoor (Barabanki) and Zaidpur (Barabanki) were well known Taluqadars (feudal lords) of Awadh province.[3]

In Jarwal, Bahraich, the Sayyid line derived from Sayyid Zakariyya, who fled Iran during the Mongol invasion by Genghis Khan, obtaining a 15,000 bigha grant from the Delhi sovereign, Ghiyathu'd-Din. They got settled in Jarwal after moving from Persia to Lahore to Delhi to Barabanki. In 1800 the Jarwal Sayyids, some of them Shi‘is, displaced the Ansari Shaykhs and came to hold 276 out of 365 villages in the parganah, although their holdings thereafter declined rapidly to (a still formidable) 76 villages in 1877.[4][5][6][7] Khateeb-ul-Iman Maulana Syed Muzaffar Husain Rizvi Tahir Jarwali (1932-Dec 1987) a Shia religious , was one of the prominent Jarwali Sayyid and celebrated preacher of late 20th century (1970s & 80s), he was also General Secretary of All India Shia Conference for some time.[8][9][10]Jarwal is also name of a section of populated place situated in Makkah, Saudi Arabia, its geographical coordinates are 21° 25' 58" North, 39° 49' 7" East [1], [2], [3]Sayyidis have settled Jarwal, mohammad Hussain Kazmi's ancestor by, Jarwal's famous philanthropist dulle Mian Iftkhar Hussain Kazmi Zamidar Kintur Kintoor (Barabanki) , whose grand father Badar Musavi Qazim hijra in Jarwal, Have a relationship uncle Khomeini of Iran
