Aḥmad Sirhindī

Aḥmad Sirhindī
born 1564?, Sirhind, Patiala, India
died 1624, Sirhind

Indian mystic and theologian who is responsible for the revival of Sunnite Islam in India.

He traced his descent from Umar ibn al-Khattāb. After a traditional Muslim education, he joined an important Sufi order and devoted himself to preaching against the tendencies of Akbar and his successor, Jahāngīr, toward pantheism and Shīite Islam. His views are outlined in his most famous work, Maktūbāt, a compilation of his letters. His burial place at Sirhind is a site of pilgrimage.
