Battle on political front:Imam Ahmad Raza refuted the maulvis & political leaders like Maulana Abdul Bari Firangimahli, Abulkalam Azad, Muhammad Ali, Shauk at Ali etc who were following Mr Gandhi & his policy. He disapproved all the political thoughts and movements which were harming & attacking muslims and Islamic thoughts. The political movements of his life time were as follows:-
Hijrah movement, jehad movement, Khilafat movement and Noncooperation movement.
About Hijrah he wrote: "Hijarah from Darul Islam is unlawfil as there's desolation of the mosques, disgrace of graves & ruin of women, children & old aged people ".[Fatawa Radhviah vol6,p2]
Imam Ahmad Raza declared India Darul Islam & thus he restrained muslims from migrating India.
History is witness of the fact that they who migrated for Afghanistan & Iran were fired on the borders of these countries and out of them who remained & returned India became homeless and penniless.
This was the result of not agreeing with the fatwa of Imam Ahamd Raza.
About "Jehad", Imam Ahmad Raza said, "Assistance for poor by wealth & for helpless by action is not wajib. Therefore order of Jehad & killing is not obligatory on the muslims of India" [Dawam-al-Aish]
Imam Ahmad Raza had Fiqhi differences with those who considered the sultanate of Turky as khilafat in the sense of shariah..Maulvi Abdul Bari Firangi Mahliand & Abul Kalam Azad had not admitted the qarshiyat necessary for khilafat but according to Ahlesunnat Qarshiyat was the condition for khialafat . Imam Ahmad Raza proved in the light of the Hdith that khilafat is conditional on qarshiyat .He refuted maulvi Abdul Bari and Abul- Kalam Azad in his book "Dawam-al-Aish".[Dawam-al-Aish]
Imam Ahmad Raza opposed Non-cooperation movement not for that he was pro British, but this movement was much dangerous for the religions, political, social & economic positions. Muslims were following & supporting Hindus & legalized the cooperation with them& thus were going astray Imam Ahmad Raza declared, "cooperation with any mushrik & kaffir is unlawful." To know the political view point & insight of Imam Ahmad Raza see his book Al-mohajjatul-moataminah."

Imam Ahmad Raza refuted anti Islamic theories of science such as view point of motion of earth.
In his book "Fauze mobeen Dar-Radde-harkate-Zameen" he refuted the theories of Gallelio, Kepler, Newton, Hershel & Einstein and in the light of science & mathematic proved that earth is static.
Imam Ahmad Raza used the energy of his pen and knowledge for the safeguard of faiths & acts of muslims, existence of Islam rather its overcoming & defend the chastity & sanctity of Allah and His Messenger Sall-Allahu Alai-wasallam. He punished the insolents and heretics & lifting the veil of Islam from their faces disclosed their infidelity. He revived sunnah & Deen-o-millah and defeated all false powers. He reformed the muslim society put forwarded the view point of formation of muslim nationality. He presenting economic guidelines imparted economic stability to the muslims. He imparted the muslim a key of recovery. He, by his ten points educational program, levelled the path of development of divine & worldly knowledge for the muslims.
Imam Ahmad Raza presented the actual face of Islam & Islamic faith which is known as Traditional Islam. At present the faith or maslakof Ahle sunnat is called as "Maslake Alahazrat". Since wahabis, Deobandis & other wrong doers also say themselves Ahle sunnat-wa-jama'at, therefore to distinguish real Ahle sunnat faith from false sects, muslims call the maslak of Ahlesunnat as "Maslake Alahazrat". Today 80% muslims are the followers of Maslake-Alahazrat & are called "Ahlesunnat-Wa-Jama'ah" or "Sawade- Azme Ahlesunnat.
