Syed Razi Haider, a preacher, author, and scholar, was born in 1980 CE, corresponding to 1400 AH, in the village of Phandheri Sadat, in Amroha district, Uttar Pradesh. He belongs to a landowning family of Phandheri Sadat. His father, Janab Sayyid Amir Haider Zaidi, was a noble-hearted person with deep love for the Ahlul Bayt (A.S.). He received his early education at the Misbahul Ilm school in his hometown. He furthered his studies under Maulana Zaheer Haider, Maulana Mohammad Baqir Naogaanvi, Janab Razi Haider Pradhan, Janab Ali Haider Mafeedar Marhoom, and Maulana Waqar Hussain Sahib.
