The essence of Islam centers around Da'wah, which serves as its foundational element and a litmus test for the faith of its adherents. Although the chain of prophethood has ended, the societal requirements fulfilled by the earlier prophets persist. Therefore, it falls upon the entire ummah and a substantial portion thereof to take on the task of rectifying the shortcomings, imperfections, and deviations within the religion, as well as the responsibility of rejuvenating and revitalizing it. There are four distinct levels at which Da'wah operates within human society: a. Individually. b. Within organized groups or parties. c. Through the cultivation of a collective consciousness. d. At an official institutional level. Every member associated with the Sufi community in our region has assumed these roles according to their capacity as part of their association. The scope of their efforts extends from engaging with rulers to common citizens and encompasses all segments of society. In this context, the contributions of Hazrat Mujaddid al-Thani, Sheikh Ahmed Farooqui Sirhindi, in indopak hold significant importance. During a time when a new religion of Emperor Akbar was being promoted from official channels, Hazrat Mujaddid Sahib chose a different path. He initiated a quiet Da'wah movement, convincing authorities to reform their principles. His efforts extended beyond the official sphere, reaching the unofficial yet influential segments of society, including members of the empire and the monarchy. This article sheds light on the prevalence of irreligion during Hazrat Mujaddid Sahib's era and his steadfast resistance against it. It also delves into the contours of the new Da'wah movement within the context of his efforts. It addresses contemporary needs, our responsibilities, proposed action plans, and necessary precautions.
