Islamic Ethics between the Late Pre-modern and the Early Modern The Spiritual System of Shah Wali Allah of Delhi (d. 1762)

26Feb2023

Shah Waliullah al-Dahlavi is well known for his enormous efforts to attempt to restore some of the waning glory of Islam and Muslim rule in India. He was a prolific writer who identified the malaise of the Muslim community as being lying in its ignorance and mutual division. He then wrote extensively to address this situation and improve the lot of Muslims in the Indian subcontinent.

This lecture will shed light on the Sheikh's efforts in this regard by highlighting aspects of his spiritual system.

The lecture will be conducted in English; simultaneous translation will be available.
