“Which philosophy was propounded by Sheikh Ahmad Sirhindi?”

"Sheikh Ahmad Sirhindi a 16th-century Islamic scholar developed the philosophy of Wahdat al-Shuhood emphasizing the distinction between God and creation. Unlike Wahdat al-Wujud which suggests existential unity Sirhindi’s doctrine stresses that divine unity is experiential preserving God’s transcendence. His teachings influenced Islamic thought in the Indian subcontinent countering syncretic trends during Akbar’s reign. Sirhindi’s ideas shaped orthodox Islamic revivalism reinforcing theological clarity and spiritual discipline leaving a lasting impact on South Asian Islamic scholarship."
