A Historical Review of Religious Identity During the British Period
Ahl e Hadees aur Angraiz is an Urdu book compiled by Maulana Basheer Ahmed Qadri. The book discusses historical narratives related to the Ahl e Hadith movement in the Indian subcontinent and examines claims regarding its origins and political position during British rule. In Ahl e Hadees aur Angraiz, the compiler presents his perspective on how the movement developed and how it was identified in official records during the colonial era.

The work was compiled in response to certain publications that, according to the compiler, attributed the primary role in the War of Independence to specific groups while minimizing the contribution of others. The book attempts to revisit historical events such as the freedom struggle and the activities of various scholars, presenting references and commentary to support its viewpoint.
It also discusses terminology historically used for reformist groups, including labels such as “Muhammadi” and “Muwahhid,” and addresses how the name “Ahl e Hadith” became commonly associated with the movement. The compiler analyzes the historical context in which these names appeared and how they were recognized in administrative and social discourse.
The publication reflects a particular scholarly opinion within intra-Muslim historical debate and is presented as a research effort to document events from a specific interpretive perspective. Readers interested in the religious and political history of the subcontinent may find it useful for understanding one side of this discussion.
Compiler: Maulana Basheer Ahmed Qadri
