When Sir Syed was bringing reforms by developing scientific temprament in muslims whch arr reason base and rational, religious scholars criticised him and issued fatwa of kafir:
Cut from an article:
With regards to influence and pervasiveness, the most firm and influential person of that period was Sir Syed Ahmad Khan. He viewed the new intellectual changes at a level further than Ghalib. He understood that without adopting these changes and learning the new scientific education, the Indian Muslims would not only be left far behind in the race of progress, but they might not even be able to maintain their identity. Consequently, he began emphasising the foundation of Muslim cultural thought on scientific lines; and for this purpose he set up the Mohammedan Scientific Society. The base of this movement was rationalism — the use of reason.
One of Sir Syed’s ardent disciples Maulana Altaf Hussain Hali has written in his biography of the former Hayat-e-Javaid about the attitude of Muslim notables in the 19th century that when Raja Ram Mohan Roy was demanding the English language and modern education, at the same time Muslim ulema by means of 8,000 signatures requested the Governor-General that we do not need the new infidel education; in fact the same old Farsi and Arabic teaching is enough.One of Sir Syed’s ardent disciples Maulana Altaf Hussain Hali has written in his biography of the former Hayat-e-Javaid about the attitude of Muslim notables in the 19th century that when Raja Ram Mohan Roy was demanding the English language and modern education, at the same time Muslim ulema by means of 8,000 signatures requested the Governor-General that we do not need the new infidel education; in fact the same old Farsi and Arabic teaching is enough.

Kare ghair gar butt ki pooja to Kafir
Jo thahraye beta khuda ka to Kafir
Jhuke aag par bahr-e-sajjda to Kafir
Kawakib mein mane karishma ti Kafir
Magar mominoon par kushada hain raheen
Parastish karen shouq se jis ki chaheen?
Wo deen jis se touheed phaili jahan mein
Howa Jalwa,gar haq zameen zaman mein
Raha shirk baqi na waham-O-guman mein
Wo badla gaya aa ke hindustan mein
Hameesha se islam tha jis pe naazan
wo dolat bhi kho baithe akhir musalman
(By Altaf Hussain Hali)
