Quick fact: The treatise 'Risala Ithbat-e-Nubuwwat' was authored by Hazrat Mujaddid Alf Thani (Shaykh Ahmad Sirhindi).

Explanation

Hazrat Mujaddid Alf Thani, also known as Shaykh Ahmad Sirhindi (1564–1624), was a prominent Indian Islamic scholar and Sufi of the Naqshbandi order. He wrote 'Risala Ithbat-e-Nubuwwat' (Treatise on the Proof of Prophethood) to defend the concept of the finality of Prophethood against deviant claims in his time. He is famously known as Mujaddid Alf Thani (Reviver of the Second Millennium) for his efforts to purify Islamic teachings and counter un-Islamic influences during the Mughal era.

Good to know

Hazrat Mujaddid Alf Thani was born in Sirhind, India, and is regarded as one of the most influential figures in the history of Indian Islam. He wrote several important works including 'Maktubat-e-Imam Rabbani' (his collected letters) and 'Radd-e-Rawafiz'. His writings strongly emphasized the importance of Shariah alongside Sufi spirituality and he played a key role in opposing the syncretic Din-e-Ilahi of Emperor Akbar.
