Shah Waliullah Dehlavi
Indian religious leader Shah Waliullah Dehlavi (1703-1762) was an influential Islamic reformer who sought to regenerate Muslim society in Asia. A prolific writer, he produced 51 important Islamic texts.
Through his writings and his teachings, as well as the life he led, Shah Waliullah Dehlavi inspired subsequent generations of Islamic followers who carried on his reformation mission after his death. Today people consider his writings to represent his most important achievement, especially his translation of the Holy Quran into a popular language, which made that religious text more accessible to a greater number of people.
Shah Waliullah Dehlavi was born on February 21, 1703, in the town of Phulat in Muzaffarnagar, Uttar Pradesh, India, as the reign of Aurangzeb, the Mughal emperor of India, was nearing its end.

    After the death of Khubulai Khan, the four uluses divided forming their own independent states. These four powers remained autonomous, until the territories internally began to divide and ultimately fall apart. The first of the khanates to collapse were the Yuan Dynasty and the Ilkhanid, while the Chagatai and the Golden Horde were able to stay in control relatively longer. It is most likely that these two uluses were the first to dissolve because Mongol steppe and traditional life never prospered in those regions, but rather these areas were allowed to maintain their old cultural identity (Morgan, 2007, p. 175).…
