Shaykh Ahmad Sirhindi (RA) & His Reforms- PhD Thesis - Dr.A.F.M. Abu Bakr Siddiqui-Khanqa e Mujaddidiya Mirpur, Dhaka

Shaikh Ahmad Sirhindi (971/1561/1034/1624) was born in India in such a time when the political, Social and religious conditions of the Muslims were at a critical juncture. The Shaikh played an enduring role against the then heterogeneous onslaughts to the very faith of Islam and ultimately came out successful. He strove hard with whole-hearted devotion to reform and to bring about a silent revolution in the total life of the Muslim's of india, as well as that of the other Muslim countries of the world. For this great achievement he is still remembered as Mujaddid Alf Thani- Renovator of the Second Millennium, throughout the Muslim world.

Some work's on some of the particular aspects such as- "Metaphysics of Shaikh Ahmad Sirhindi" and "The Mujaddid`s conception of Towhid" 'have been done by the scholars. But no concerted effort, to my knowledge, has as yet been done for the overall evaluation of the reformative achievements of the Shaikh. To meet this need I have under-taken the task.
