Shaikh Ahmad Sirhindi, famously known as Mujaddid Alif Sani (Reviver of the Second Millennium), was born in 971 AH (1564 CE) in Sirhind, India. He is one of the most influential figures in Islamic history, credited with reviving and reforming Islamic thought in the Indian subcontinent during the Mughal era. His efforts were particularly directed against the syncretic Deen-e-Ilahi of Emperor Akbar and in reaffirming the orthodox Sunni beliefs.
Shaikh Ahmad Sirhindi belonged to the Naqshbandi Sufi order and was a disciple of Khwaja Baqi Billah. He is called Mujaddid Alif Sani because he appeared at the beginning of the second Islamic millennium and led a powerful revivalist movement. His famous compilation of letters, Maktubat-e-Imam Rabbani, remains a significant work in Islamic spirituality and theology. He passed away in 1034 AH (1624 CE) and is buried in Sirhind.
