COMPARISON BETWEEN RELIGIOUS THINKERS

Shah Wali Ullah  believed that the Muslims were not able to understand Islam because they could’nt understand Arabic and Quran was in Arabic. He translated Holy Quran from Arabic to Persian. Later it was translated to Urdu by his sons. He wrote 51 books .They include Hujjatullah-ul Baligha and Izalat al Akhfa. He also wrote an  account on the four Caliphs of which was acceptable by both sunnis and shias. His main work was organization of opposition against Marathas.

Another reformer was Syed Ahmad. He was a man of action and great Muslim warrior. He gathered an army of mujahideen to fight against the Sikhs (Ranjit Singhs forces).It was the first example of a movement formed to free Muslims from non Muslims leaders. It was a uniting force for the Muslims and inspiration for future Muslims.

Another reformer was HHahi Sharait Ullah. He believed that the country was Dar-Ul Harb. He also believed that the Muslims had moved away from true Islamic practice so he started a movement called the Faraizi Movement. It supported the idea of Jihad Movement. The Faraizi Movement was started to restore the pride of Muslims and remove non Muslim practices in Islam. This Movement encouraged the Muslims. The Bengal peasants became united in opposition to the British and became aware of their rights and unity became to grow between them and they realised their rights that should have been given.

I think Shah Wali Ullah was the most important reformer because he was one of the first persons to realise the main thing of Muslims problems. He did the major thing of translating Holy Quran to Persian so that more people could understand it.
