Answer:

Yes, I agreed that Sir Syed Ahmed Khan's political beliefs had a greater impact on the Muslims than any of his other beliefs

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, I agreed that Sir Syed Ahmed Khan's political beliefs had a greater impact on the Muslims than any of his other beliefs because he Believes that the future of Muslims was threatened by the rigidity of their orthodox outlook, So he proceeded to make impact on the following:

1) Sir Ahmad began giving aid and promoting Western–style scientific education by creating modern schools and journals and also organising Islamic entrepreneurs.

2) In the year 1859, Syed founded Gulshan School located at Muradabad, Established Victoria School at Ghazipur in 1863, and also a scientific society for Muslims in the year 1864. Furthermore, He founded the Muhammadan Anglo-Oriental College in 1875, which is the first Muslim university in Southern Asia.

3) Syed maintains a very strong legacy in Pakistan and among the Indian Muslims. He passionately influenced other Muslim leaders which including Jinnah and Allama Iqbal. His support of Islam's rationalist (Muʿtazila) tradition, and at broader, radical reinterpretation of the Quran to make it fit and agreeable with science and modernity, continues to influence the global Islamic reformation.

Till date, Several universities and public buildings in Pakistan still bear Sir Syed's name.
