Muhammad Ramzan

Shah Muhammad Ramzan (born Shah Muhammad Ramzan Mehami 1769 -1825) was a regular preacher and tablighi in Haryana. He expressed by his preachings that the converted Rajputs, Meo and Jats (Muslim Rajputs and Maula Jats) were in no way different from their Hindu counterparts in culture, customs and celebrations of religious festivals. He also defined by his preachings that they were not only pir-parast (Guru-worshippers) and qabr-parast (Grave-worshippers); they were also idol-worshippers.

Works as a reformer
Ramzan used to sojourn in areas inhabited by such converted Rajputs, dissuade them from practising Hindu rites and persuade them to marry their cousins (real uncle’s daughters which converts persistently refused to do). They equally detested eating cow’s flesh. To induce them to eat beef, he introduced new festivals like Mariyam ka Roza and Rot-bot (on this eves, people observed on 17 Rajjab, a pao of roasted beef placed on a fried bread, was distributed amongst relatives and near and dear ones). Ramzan also encouraged such people to build mosques in large numbers. Such endeavours have ruled out the possibility of reconversion and have helped in the Islamization of neo-Muslims.

Early life and death
There is a very little amount of Information can be found about him. He was born in Haryana, Punjab during the British rule, 1769. He has worked as a preacher and tablighi throughout his life.

Ramzan was killed by his co-religionist Bohras at Mandsaur in Madhya Pradesh on 1825.
