Notes History

Q: Why did Shah Waliullah translate the Quran into Persian? [7]

A: Shah Waliullah believed that Holy Quran was not under standable to all the
readers because of the language barrier. That is why he translated the Holy Quran
into Persian .Persian was understood and spoken by many Muslims at that
time.He believed that ifMuslims can understand the message of Quran than
itwould be easy for them to act up on it.

Q: Was the work of Syed Ahmad Barelvi the most important factor in the revival
of Islam in the period 1700-1850? Give reasons for your answer [14]

A: The work of Syed Ahmad had been the very important factor in the revival of
Islam because of many reasons. Syed Ahmad Barelvi Shaheed was born in 1786.
He was greatly impressed by the preaching and thoughts of Shah Waliullah.
Therefore, Syed Ahmad Shaheed started preaching true Islam (as Shah Waliullah
did). However, he was of the opinion that there should be a political power
behind the preaching for the revival of Islam and Muslim power in India. He
founded the Jihad Movement for the restoration and revival of Muslim power in
India. His main objective was the establishment of an Islamic state on proper
Islamic principles. In addition, the aim of the Jihad Movement was to liberate the
Muslims of the Punjab and N.W.F.P from the Sikh rule. · At that time (beginning of
19thcentury), Punjab and N.W.F.P were under the Sikh rule of Ranjit Singh.
Muslims were facing great difficulty in following their religion in this area.
Therefore, Syed Ahmad chose Punjab and N.W.F.P for his activities. He also
expected help from the Afghan and Pathan tribes of N.W.F.P. Syed Ahmad
established his headquarters at Nowshera. His first encounters against the Sikh
forces took place at Akora in which the Mujahidin were successful. The jihad
movement ended in 1831, but it was a brave and determined movement effort
for the revival of Islam and Muslim power. Syed Ahmad’s example continued to
inspire the future Muslim generations. The work of Syed Ahmad was important
but the work of another two reformers was also very important for a number of
reasons.
