== History ==

The town of [[Amroha]] is home to one of the oldest [[Syeds Naqvi|Naqvi]] Sadat settlements in India. Naqvis in Amroha arrived from [[Wasit]], [[Iraq]] and have resided in the town of [[Amroha]] since A.D. 1190.<ref>A Socio-Intellectual History of the Ithna ashari Shia in India by S A Rizvi</ref>

The Sadaat Amroha belong mainly to the [[Naqvi]] sub-group, because they are descendants of the [[Sufi]] saint [[Syed]] Sharfuddin Shah Wilayat (a true 9th direct descendant of [[Imam]] [[Ali al-Hadi|Ali Al-Naqi]]), who was a highly respected religious figure in [[Wasit]], [[Iraq]], and later in India during the early ages of [[Islam]] in the [[South Asia]] and the khalifa of Imam Suhrawardi. The majority of Amrohvie Sadaat are Naqvi, predominately of [[Shia]] sects. According to the 1901 [[Census of India]], the main sub-division of the [[Sayyid]] was the [[Husseini]] and Naqvi.
