== In Malabar ==
His uncles, Hasan Jifri and Sheik Jifri, left for [[Malabar (Northern Kerala)|Malabar]] for the sake of propagation and influenced the natives of Malabar. At the age of 17, Sayyid left Sheharmukalla for the coast of Malabar by ship and reached [[Kozhikode|Calicut]] in [[Hijri year|Hijra]] 1183 [[Ramadan]] 19. Later, he settled in [[Mambaram, Malappuram|Mambaram]] (formerly Mamburam Thangal) and Arabi Thangal. He became famous after he had done it during the early period of his settlement in Malabar. He predicted the arrival of communism in Kerala, even before the writings of the Communist Manifesto. He said to his disciple Avukoya about future events: When the British leave the country, our people will be in danger and will be affected by poverty in their lives and poverty in their spirituality.<ref name=":0" />

== Family life ==
Sayyid Alavi married Fatima, daughter of Jamaludin Maqdoomi, at Hijra in 1183. He stayed for a short period in his bride's house but later shifted to a permanent maliyakal house near Mamburam Juma Masjid. He had two daughters with his spouse: Sharifa Alaviya and Sharifa, the latter of whom was also known as Kunhbivi. After Fatima's death, he married the daughter of Sayyid Aboobacker Madani of Kovl Kandi Ambarkand of Koyilandy, also named Fatima. He had one son in this relationship, [[Fazal Pookoya Thangal]]. At the age of 50, he married Ayisha from Tanur and had two more daughters, Swaliha and Fathima. After the death of his third wife, he married Swalaiha from [[Indonesia]].<ref name=":0" />

== Spiritualism ==
Sayyid Alavi followed the Ba'alawi Thareeqath, sub-branch of Quadriya Thareeqath, related to the saint [[Abdul-Qadir Gilani]]. He was recognized as '''Qutub Zaman''' (leader of Vali's, saint of the century) by [[Sunni Islam]]. He suggested spiritual treatment for his disciples as well as infidels that consulted him. He was consulted for personal and social issues and was considered the greatest leader on the horizon of the spiritual world. There was a huge crowd follower for this prodigy. He provided ''elas'' (chain consisted of some divine things).<ref name=":1">{{Cite web|date=2016-11-15|title=Remembering Mamburam Sayyid Alavi Thangal|url=https://islamicvoice.com/community-round-up/remembering-mamburam-sayyid-alavi-thangal/|access-date=2020-07-16|website=Islamic Voice|language=en-US}}</ref>

== Sayyid Alavi in the path of struggle ==
When the [[Mappila|Mappilas]] attacked under the guidance of Sayyid Alavi, the [[United Kingdom|British]] government felt threatened.

He was the founder of Cherur pada and inspired youngsters to fight against the British government.
