Shah Abdul Aziz Muhaddith Dehlavi (11 October 1746 – 5 June 1824) was an Indian Sunni Muslim Scholar and Sufi Saint. He is known as the Muhaddith and Mujaddid from India.[1] He was of the Naqshbandi Sufi order which emerged from[according to whom?] a tradition of violent backlash against the modernization [citation needed] of Sunni religion. This tradition inspired later Sunni scholarship, including Abdul Aziz's father Shah Waliullah Dehlawi.[3] Aziz's dream was to declare India a Darul Harb.[4]
