| title = Biography | publisher=[[Ibn Sina Academy of Medieval Medicine and Sciences]], Aligarh, India}}</ref> He was a personal Unani physician of [[Maharaja]] of [[Alwar]] [[Jai Singh Prabhakar]] (1882–1937) and has been a standing committee member of All India Unani and Ayurvedic Tibbi Conference, of whose [[Hakim Ajmal Khan]] was the president.<br />
<br />
Maharaja [[Jai Singh Prabhakar]] once invited some significant Unani physicians working in the state of Alwar to discuss the future course and progress and promotion of Unani medicine. Hakim Syed Karam Hussain was the chief-de-mission of that delegation. In that delegation, the other physicians who were present: Hakim Syed Mohammad (Khairtal), Hakim Mohammad Sulaiman, Hakim Mohammad Umar Fasih, Hakim Imam Ali, Hakim Syed Ahmad Ali Akbarabadi and Hakim Ziauddin (Tijara).<br />
<br />
===Regional personality===<br />
He was popularly known as [[Rais]]-e Tijara, a very pious and religious person and a resident of [[Qazi]] [[Mahallah|Mohalla]], of the Tijara city before the [[partition of India]] in 1947. He bought seven [[Havelis]] at [[Tijara]] including the 'Haveli Qadeem' (the oldest private mansion at the Qazi Mohalla). In addition, he had two other houses in [[Delhi]]. In the course of leisure moment, his favourite places of visit were [[Mount Abu]] and [[Delhi]]. The following [[Persian language|Persian]] commemorative inscription can still be seen at the main entrance of his 'Haveli Qadeem' at Tijara:<br />
<br />
{{cquote| بحمداللھ بدور شاہ اکبر <br />
خلا ئق از غم ايا م وا رفت<br />
<br />
بحکمش در تجارہ گشت بندے<br />
<br />
کہ پيشش گنبد گردوں بود ست }}<br />
<br />
{{cquote| Praise be the God, thou the 'Great Emperor'<br />
<br />
Gone from the world of sorrow<br />
<br />
By his order, took a stroll in Tijara<br />
<br />
That he may take rest before reaching destination}}<br />
<br />
:[By "شاہ اکبر" (Shah Akbar), meaning both 'Emperor Akbar' and 'Great Emperor', the poet parallels God and [[Jalaluddin Muhammad Akbar]], and asserts 'Great Emperor' to both].<br />
<br />
The above qata was written at the time when Emperor Akbar visited [[Tijara]] while moving to [[Fatehpur Sikri]] from [[Delhi]]. According to Major P.W. Powlett (late settlement officer of Ulwar), "[[Akbar]] appears to have given some attention to [[Mewat]] in AH. 957 (A.D. 1579), he visited Ulwur (now [[Alwar]]) on his way to [[Fatehpur Sikri]]".<ref>Major P.W. Powlett. Gazetteer of Ulwar (Late settlement officer of Ulwar), London: Trubner and Co. Ludgate Hill, 1878, page 134</ref><br />

Hakim Syed Karam Husain (1287AH/1870AD – 11th Shawwal 1372 AH/25 June 1953) was a direct descendant of [[Qazi Syed Rafi Mohammad]]. He was merely 8 years old when his father Qazi Mir Imdad Ali died. He was trained under the guidance of his mother, Fayyazun Nisan, who was a very talented woman. She inherited all the good qualities from her father, Hussainuddin (died on 11 [[Dhu al-Hijjah]] 1278 AH / 1861 AD), a man of horse business from [[Hyderabad, India|Hyderabad]]. Hussainuddin also had a good taste in literature. Apart from Fayyazun Nisan, he had another daughter, Bayazun Nisan from his wife Siddiqun Nisan (daughter of Ghulam Askari Ibn Salahuddin ibn Karimuddin ibn Muqtada ibn Qazi Ghulam Murtaza).<br />

<br />
Many of his family members and relatives are remembered for their role and sacrifices in [[India's First War of Independence]].<ref>Hakim Karam Husain by [[Hakim Syed Zillur Rahman]], ''Masiha'', Bombay, India, September 1960, pp. 5–6</ref><br />
