Kabir (Hindi: कबीर, IAST: Kabīr[1]) was a 15th-century Indian mystic poet and saint, whose writings influenced Hinduism's Bhakti movement and his verses are found in Sikhism's scripture Guru Granth Sahib.[2][3][4]He was born as hindu, but his early life was in a Muslim family, but he was strongly influenced by his teacher, the Hindu bhakti leader Ramananda.[2]

Kabir is known for being critical of bothHinduism and Islam, stating that the former was misguided by the Vedas, and questioning their meaningless rites of initiation such as the sacred thread and circumcisionrespectively.[2][5] During his lifetime, he was threatened by both Hindus and Muslims for his views.[6]:4[need quotation to verify] When he died, both Hindus and Muslims he had inspired claimed him as theirs.[3](There was dispute whether to cremate or bury his corpse).

Kabir suggested that True God is with the person who is on the path of righteousness, considered all creatures on earth as his own self, and who is passively detached from the affairs of the world.[3]

hi mate,

Kabir, the renowned saint of northern India, falls squarely in this tradition of singer-songwriter-critic. Living in the 13th and 14th centuries (the exact dates are disputed, but fall between 1398 and 1518), Kabir upturned the religious notions and social conventions of his time.

Originaly it is trusted that bhakti development began in seventh century Tamil Nadu and later spread to northern India by means of Maharashtra.

It spread crosswise over northern India in fifteenth century and achieved its peak in seventeenth century.

Kabir was a fifteenth century Indian spiritualist writer and holy person, whose compositions affected Hinduism's Bhakti development and his verses are found in Sikhism's sacred text Guru Granth Sahib.

i hope it helps you.
