Shaykh Ahmad Sirhindi
For those who may not have heard of Shaykh Ahmad Sirhindi, he lived in India in about the 16th Century, and he reinvigorated and repurified Islam in India, after the highly destructive anti-Islamic policies of the Moghul ruler Akbar. Most of the Naqshbandi lineages today stem from Shaykh Ahmad Sirhindi -- this is an indication of his great influence. I think there is a strong parallel between Shaykh Ahmad Sirhindi's time and the world today, and so I think we can learn very much from this great Shaykh's life and writings.
The Naqshbandi Sufi are today represented as the model of moderation. Of some kind.
The Philosemitic Indian Sufi Ahmad Sirhindi (d. 1624),
who despite never apparently encountering a Jew during his lifetime, opined,
"Whenever a Jew is killed it is for the benefit of Islam."
Do the Naqshbandi 'moderates' today renounce and excoriate this statement, and this philosophy?
Perhaps they will enlighten us.
