  Abstract

lhringAbd al-Haqq Muhaddith Dihlawi (d. 1642) was a renowned Islamic reformer in Mughal Delhi. His life is well documented in hagiographic and biographic records. This study argues that lhringAbd al-Haqq's mature endeavour to reform society, through revival of the study of scriptural sciences and moderation of Sufi practice, did not arise solely from within his person nor purely in reaction to his South Asian environment. Rather, he was an inter-regional, multi-lingual Sufi–scholar whose mature efforts at reform were built on the legitimacy, scholarship and discipline that he acquired earlier in his travels to the Hijaz and through his training under Shaykh lhringAbd al-Wahhab Muttaqi (d. 1592). lhringAbd al-Haqq's mature vision is an outcome of his discipleship in ‘the Muttaqi method’, which can be traced to Shaykh lhringAli Muttaqi (d. 1567–8), who was both a hadith scholar and Sufi master.
