How successful were the service of shah waliullah in the revival of Islam in India?

Answer 1

Shah Wali Ullah promoted his message through writings and education. He trained a number of students and sent them out to promote the message of harmony and unity among all Muslims. He educated the Muslim soldiers on the importance of Jihad. this created awareness in the Muslims about the life they were leading.

Shah Wali Ullah wrote 51 books. His books were on sunnah, action and sayings which the people had forogotten. He informed the people about the sins of accumulation of wealth and asked them to keep as much wealth as was required for their economic needs. this creted an opportunity for the Muslims to look at their religon more clearly and practise it on the basis of Shariah as Quran was also translated by Shah Wali Ullah into Persian.

Apart from imparting religious education to Muslims, Shah Wali Ullah also provided leadership to the Muslims in the political field. He came out with his great wisdom and foresight to create political awakening in the Muslims of India. This gave Muslims a strong and religious leader to guide them as the previous leaders were pleasure-seeking and least considered about other matters.
