Ahmad Sirhindi[a] (1564 – 1624/1625)[8] was an Indian Islamic scholar, Hanafi jurist, and member of the Naqshbandī Sufi order.[9][10]
During the lifetime of Ahmad Sirhindi, there were religious heterodox movements within the Mughal court such as Din-i Ilahi, a new religion introduced by emperor Akbar.[11] Ahmad Sirhindi took an immediate act to counter this doctrine by writing numerous letters towards the ruling elite circles of the Mughal court.[12] His act of preserving orthodoxy of Islam within subcontinent has cemented his reputation by some followers as a Mujaddid, or a "reviver".[13][14]
While early and modern South Asian scholarship credited him for contributing to conservative trends in Indian Islam, more recent works, such as Abul Hasan Ali Hasani Nadwi[15] and commentaries from western scholars such as Ter Haar, Friedman, and Buehler, have pointed to Sirhindi's significant contributions to Sufi epistemology and practices.[16][17][18][19]
