Moinuddin Chishti (1142–1236), Shrine of Moinuddin Chishti, mujaddid[according to whom?] of the seventh century.
A mujaddid (Arabic: مجدد), is an Islamic term for one who brings "renewal" (تجديد tajdid) to the religion.[1][2] According to the popular Muslim tradition, it refers to a person who appears at the turn of every century of the Islamic calendar to revive Islam, cleansing it of extraneous elements and restoring it to its pristine purity.[3]
The concept is based not on the Quran but on a hadith (a saying of Islamic prophet Muhammad),[original research?] recorded by Abu Dawood, Abu Hurairah narrated that Muhammad said:
Allah will raise for this community at the end of every hundred years the one who will renovate its religion for it.
— Sunan Abu Dawood, Book 37: Kitab al-Malahim [Battles], Hadith Number 4278[4]
Mujaddids tend to come from the most prominent Islamic scholars of the time, although they are sometimes pious rulers.[2]

Controversial messianic movement founded by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad in Qadian, Punjab (British-controlled India), in 1889. Founder claimed to be a “nonlegislating” prophet (thus not in opposition to the mainstream belief in the finality of Muhammad 's “legislative” prophecy) with a divine mandate for the revival and renewal of Islam ... Rejected by the majority of Muslims as heretical since it believes in ongoing prophethood after the death of Muhammad.
