Mujaddid
A '''''Mujaddid''''' (), in Islamic tradition, refers to a person who Muslims believe is sent by Allah|God in the first half of every century of the Islamic calendar. The mujaddid's objective is to revive Islam, remove from it any extraneous elements and restore it to its pristine state. A mujaddid might be a caliph, wali|saint (wali), a prominent teacher, a scholar or some other kind of influential person.
As it says in the hadith:
"Allah shall raise for this Umma at the head of every century a man who shall renew (or revive) for it its religion" (Sunan Abu Dawud, Kitab al-Malahim, ch. 1.)
There are a wide range of opinions about the identity of the mujaddid for any given century, but to a large degree Muslims can agree that, even if they were not the mujaddid of their day, the overwhelming majority of the candidates listed below were great orthodox scholars who made positive contributions to Islam.
