Hujjat Allah al-Baligha English Shah Waliullah Muhaddith Dehlvi

“Hujjat Allah al-Baligha” (The Conclusive Argument from God) by the towering 18th-century Indian scholar Shah Waliullah Muhaddith Dehlvi is arguably the most important philosophical and theological synthesis in late Islamic history. The book serves as a profound effort to reconcile differences between Islamic schools of thought (Fiqh and Kalam) by establishing the universal, rational, and spiritual wisdom (Hikmah) behind the commandments and structures of the Shari’ah. Shah Waliullah meticulously details the universal laws governing both the cosmos and human society, explaining how Islam’s legal and ethical systems are designed to foster human welfare, societal harmony, and spiritual perfection. This work is indispensable for understanding the coherence, justice, and practical logic of Islamic law and belief.
