Aḥmad al-Fārūqī al-Sirhindī (Arabic: أحمد الفاروقي السرهندي, romanized: Aḥmad al-Fārūqī al-Sirhindī) or Aḥmad ibn 'Abd al-Ahad al-Sirhindī (Arabic: أحمد بن عبد الأحد السرهندي, romanized: Aḥmad bin 'Abd al-Ahad al-Sirhindī)(1564 – 1624/1625), also known as Imam Rabbani and Mujadid-e-Alf-e-Sani (Reviver of the Second Millennium), was an Indian Islamic scholar, Hanafi jurist, and member of the Naqshbandī Sufi order.He has been described by some followers as a Mujaddid, meaning a “reviver", for his work in rejuvenating Islam and opposing Din-i Ilahi and other policies of Mughal emperor Akbar. 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 and commentaries from western scholars such as Ter Haar, Friedman, and Buehler, have pointed to Sirhindi's significant contributions to Sufi epistemology and practices. The shrine of Ahmad Sirhindi, known as Rauza Sharif, is located in Sirhind, Punjab, India. Source: Wikipedia (en)
