Abdul Qadir Siddhiqui Hasrat learnt music as one of the sciences

Hyderabadi Sufi Sheikh and poet Abdul Qadir Siddhiqui Hasrat learnt music as one of the sciences, not as a performing art. His biographer Anwar-al-Din Siddiqui Anwar explains that owing to his religious status and family background, he could not frequent the alleys and marketplaces or houses of those who were expert of the art. In order to peruse his musical practice. Hasrat devised a distinctively modern way of learning music. He purchased the available recordings and together with theoretical information gained by reading musicological treatise, he mastered the art.

Although Hasrat was not a performer, he listened a qawwal named Muhammad Ghaus among his disciple and he gave him music training. According to the some, Meeraj Ahmad Nizami was another qawwal who was initiated by him to Qadri Silsila.
