Thousands of Islamic scholars were counted as his spiritual successors.[4] He was the main leader of the Jama'at Raza-e-Mustafa in Bareilly, which opposed the Shuddhi movement to convert Muslims to Hinduism in pre-Partition India.[4] [5] During the time of emergency in 1977 in India, he issued a fatwa against vasectomy which was made compulsory and 6.2 million Indian men were sterilized in just a year.[6] In such circumstances Mustafa Raza Khan argued this order of Indian government given by Indira Gandhi.[7] [8]
