Answer:

Shah Waliullah and Syed Ahmad Barelvi Shaheed were two figures who made

efforts for the revival of Islam in the Sub-Continent. Both had large number of followers.

Shah Waliullah lived during 18th century, While Syed Ahmad Shaheed worked during the

early 19th century.

Shah Waliullah’s main effort and emphasis was on preaching true Islam. He taught and

preached in his father’s Madrasa and produced a large number of followers who spread

his message. He wanted to get rid the Muslim society of un-Islamic ideas and practices

which had crept in them. A great scholar, Shah Waliullah translated the holy Quran into

Persian and wrote a large number of books so that the Muslims could understand true

Islam.

The same was the effort of Syed Ahmad Shaheed. He also wished that Muslims should

come to true Islam and give up superstitious ideas and un-Islamic ways and practices.

Syed Ahmad was not a scholar he did not write any books or letters to the people as Shah

Waliullah did. But Syed Ahmad took practical steps to create a Muslim state where

Islamic law and Islamic way of life should prevail. He was of the opinion that the revival

of Islam was not possible without political power.

Syed Ahmad got the Idea of Jihad from Shah Waliullah. Syed Ahmad organized the Jihad

movement and raised a large contingent of Mujahidin who had great enthusiasm about

the revival of Islam. For fighting against non-Muslims forces Shah Waliullah had invited

Ahmad Shah Abdali but Syed Ahmad himself took up arms defeated the Sikh forces at

Okara and enforced Islamic law in the Peshawar region. His Movement culminated in

pure Jihad in which he was martyred.

Both the movements had similar objectives of glorification of Islam. Apparently both

failed in bringing out the revival of Islam or Muslim power in India. The political power

ultimately went into the hands of the British and the Muslim went on decline. But the

impact of both the movements was long lasting because they developed a sense of

awareness among the Muslims that efforts should be made to achieve this goal.
