Image
 SHEIKH MUJADDID ALF E SANI (R.AH.) Sheikh Ahmad Sirhindi (Mujaddid Alf e Sani) was born in 1564. His lineage goes back to Hazrat Omar(RA). He received his early education from his father Sheikh Abdul Ahad. Then he went to Silakot for further studies, Silakot was the centre of knowledge of that time. He was a disciple of Sheikh Baqi Billah (R.AH.) After completing his education, he went to Sialkot, Punjab for preaching of Islam. At that time Islam was badly distorting in the wake of ‘Deen e Ilahi’ coined by Mughal Emperor Akbar, Islam was losing its basic spirit. There was a need of a man who could counter these Heresies. After the death of Akbar, His son Jahangir continued his father teachings. Mujaddid Alf e Sani raised voice against Deen e Ilahi, hence got imprisoned by Jahangir. Allama Iqbal has written a couplet for him relating to this incident: “Gardan na jhuki jiski Jahangir ke aage Jiski nafs e garam se hai garmai ahraar Wo Hind me Sarmaya e Millat ka Nigehbaan Allah ne B...

IMAM GHAZALI'S PHILOSOPHY

 IMAM GHAZALI'S PHILOSOPHY Ghazali mission was almost apostolic like that of kant in Germany of the 18th century. Ghazali's philosophical scepticism which however went a little too far virtually did the same kind of work in the world of Islam in breaking the back of that proud but shallow rationalism which moved in the same direction as per pre kantian rationalism in Germany. Ghazali , finding no new hope in analytic part move to mystic experience, and their found an independent content for religion.
