A Mujaddid (Arabic: مجدد‎), according to the popular Muslim tradition, refers to a person who appears at turn of every century of the Islamic calendar to revive Islam, remove from it any extraneous elements and restore it to its pristine purity. A mujaddid might be a caliph, a saint (wali), a prominent teacher, a scholar or some other kind of influential person.

The concept is based on the following Prophetic tradition (hadith):

"Allah shall raise for this Umma at the head of every century a man who shall renew (or revive) for it its religion."[1]

Shah Waliullah, a 18th century Sunni Islamic scholar stated [2]

A Mujadid appears at the end of every century: The Mujadid of the first century was Imam of Ahlul Sunnah, Umar bin Abdul Aziz. The Mujadid of the second century was Imam of Ahlul Sunnah Muhammad Idrees Shaafi. The Mujadid of the third century was Imam of Ahlul Sunnah Abu al-Hasan al-Ash'ari. The Mujadid of the fourth century was Abu Abdullah Hakim Nishapuri.
