About Ahmad Sirhindi
- Ahmad al-Faruqi al-Sirhindi (1564–1624) was an Indian Islamic scholar, a Hanafi jurist, and a prominent member of the Naqshbandi Sufi order.
- He has been described as a Mujaddid, meaning "the reviver", for his work in rejuvenating Islam and opposing the dissident opinions prevalent in the time of Mughal emperor Akbar.
- While early South Asian scholarship credited him for contributing to conservative trends in Indian Islam, more recent works, notably by ter Haar, Friedman, and Buehler, have pointed to Sirhindi's significant contributions to Sufi epistemology and practices.Most of the Naqshbandi suborders today, such as the Mujaddidi, Khalidi, Saifi, Tahiri, Qasimiya and Haqqani sub-orders, trace their spiritual lineage through Sirhindi. Sirhindi's shrine, known as Rauza Sharif, is located in Sirhind, Punjab, India.
