Socio Political Thought Of Shah WaliAllah RA

Introduction

Shah Wali Allah was a prolific writer whose contributions range over the entire spectrum of the classical Islamic disciplines: Qur'anic Studies, Hadith methodology, applied and theoretical jurisprudence, and Islamic mysticism. In the Indo-Pakistani sub-continent he is seen as an intellectual inspiration behind almost all contemporary interpretations of Muslim thought. Modernists, Ahl-i Sunnat wa al-Jam'at, Ahl-i Hadith, Deobandis, the Jamat-i Islami and others view him as an intellectual precursor to their own interpretations of Islam.
