Sayyid Ali Akbar was an Islamic saint, the son of Imam Hasan al-Askari the eleventh Imam in the Shia Islam. .He was the second son of the eleventh Twelver Imam, Imam Hasan al-Askari. The brother of the twelfth Imam, Hujjat-Allah al-Mahdi.His existence was hidden because of contemporary political conflicts with the Political leadership of the Abbasids, reaching its´ peak at that time.^[5][6][7] Sayyid Ali Akbar is venerated in Sunni and Shiite Sufi Islam as the patriarch of various Sufi Saints.^[8][9]Jafari Shiites, who constitute the majority of Shiites, according to authentic Shiite documents, consider only Mahdi to be the son of Imam Hassan al-Askari.

Introduction[]

The genealogical records of some Middle Eastern families, especially from Persia and Khorasan, indicate that Hasan al-Askari had a second son, Ali Akbar.^[10][11] This is supported by the believe of various followers of Sufi saints, like the sunni saints Moinuddin Chishti and Bahauddin Naqshband, who were the founders of the Chishtiyya and Naqshbandiyya sufi orders and also the prominent Sufi Saint Khwaja Maudood Chishti, who were all saints preaching the twelver creed of Imamah^[12][13]

In his Usul al-Kafi, al-Kulayni wrote, "Ali confirms the claim that Hasan al-Askari had more than one wife, in addition to slave girls, with whom he had relations" and, "when the caliph received news of Imam Hasan al-Askari's illness, he instructed his agents to keep a constant watch over the house of the Imam... he sent some of these midwives to examine the slave girls of the Imam to determine if they were pregnant. If a woman was found pregnant she was detained and imprisoned."^[5][14][7]

Descendants[]

According to the earliest reports as cited below from official family tree documents and records, Imam Hasan al-Askari fathered seven children and was survived by six.^[15][16] The names of his illustrious biological children were: Imam Muhammad al-Mahdi, Musa, Ja’far, Ibrahim, Fatima and ‘Ali, sometimes referred to as Akbar, Asghar, al-Taqi, al-Muttaqi or Abdullah.^{[17][18][19][20][21][22]} Еarly books on sayyid genealogy also mention that the descendants of Sayyid Ali Asghar ibn Imam Hassan Askari lived in the city of Sabzevar in shiite Muslims Iran.^[23][24]

Notable descendants of Ali Akbar include the eleventh generation Sufi saints, Maudood Chishti and Bahauddin Naqshband.^[25][26][27] One descendant after eighteen generations was Hazrat Ishaan. Maternal descendants of imam Hasan al-Askari and Hazrat Ishaan included the brothers, Sayyid Mir Jan, Sayyid Mahmud Agha and Sayyid Mir Fazlullah Agha, the Chief Justice of the Emirate of Afghanistan. And paternal descendant of imam Hasan Al-Askari Jamāl al-Dīn al-Afghānī also known as Sayyid Jamāl ad-Dīn Asadābādī and commonly known as Al-Afghani - a political activist and Islamic ideologist who travelled throughout the Muslim world during the late 19th century and Sayyid Mohammed Uthman al-Mirghani, known as "Al-Khatim", was the founder of the Khatmiyya sufi tariqa that has a following in Egypt, Sudan, Eritrea, Somalia and Ethiopia.

The great-great-grandson and representative of Sayyid Mir Fazlullah Agha is the German Lobbyist, Noble, entrepreneur and philanthropist His Excellency Sayyid Mir Sultan Masood Dakik and his eldest son . Sayyid Mir Sultan Masood Dakik is an aristocrat awarded with various orders of merits and honorary memberships in Elitarian societies. He and his son are also the heads of the family of Shah Bahauddin Naqshband as His Excellency is a descendant of Shah Bahauddin Naqshband after 18 Generations, through his ancestor Hazrat Ishaan and hence the spiritual head of the members of the Naqshbandi Sufi Order by bloodline.^{[28][29][30][31]} Other descendants include qadi Qozi Sayyid Bahodirxon,^[32][33] and the Sufi saints Tajuddin Muhammad Badruddin,^[34] Pir Baba,^[35] and the saint, Ishan Imlo 1162 AH (1748 CE) of Bukhara.^[36][37]

Annemarie Schimmel wrote, "Khwaja Mir Dard's family, like many nobles from Bukhara, led their pedigree back to Baha'uddin Naqshband, after whom the Naqshbandi order is named, and who was a descendant, in the eleventh generation of the eleventh Shia imam, al-Hasan al-Askari."^[14]

Burial place[]

The genealogy of Khwaja Samandar Muhammad ibn Baqi al-Termizi - the famous sheikh and poet, writer and scholar, author of "Dastur al Mulk" (Guide to Kings) (XVII сentury), goes back to Sultan Saadat - Amir Sayyid Ali Akbar Termizi - in turn Amir Sayyid Ali Akbar bin Imam Hassan Askari, it is mentioned in his history book called "Dastur al Mulk". The 15th century famous poet, musicologist, scholar of language and other sciences Sahib Balkhi Sharifi wrote about the Sayyids of Termiz. His one of the poems begins with the name of Sultan Saadat (Sultan of Sayyids), i.e. the praise of Amir Sayyid Ali Akbar Termizi. Therefore, Sultan Saadat (Sodot) is the Sultan of Sayyids and the owner (historians suggest that Sayyid Ali Akbar bin Imam Hassan al-Askari's burial place is located in the main mausoleum Sultan Saodat memorial complex) "Sultan Saodat" Mausoleum (erected 9-15 centuries) in Termez city - and Sultan Saadat is Sayyid Ali Akbar Termizi, which is also mentioned with the nickname (kunyat) Sayyid Abu Muhammad who presumably died at the end of the 9th century or early 10th century in Termez. Many tombs and nameless graves of more than a thousand sayyids are located in the "Sultan Saodat" memorial complex and its territory in Termez.^{[38][39][40][41][42]}
