| Summary: | Muslims are very proud of the emergence of scholars of the past who have made
tremendous contributions both to the Islamic and Western worlds. However, such glory
and pride are undervalued as no serious efforts have been made to refine and apply to the
tee all the contributions by past scholars in the efforts to rebuild the superior Islamic
civilization. Hence, this article aims to introduce an authoritative figure in the Middle
Ages who applied critical thinking especially in the field of Islamic knowledge that has
greatly impacted Muslims worldwide. He is Shah Wali Allah al-Dihlawi who was an
influential and prominent Indian Islamic scholar in the 18th century AD. This study is
qualitative library research, using inductive, deductive and comparative methods in
analyzing data related to the biography and intellectuality of Shah Wali Allah in the field
of critical thinking. The findings found that Shah Wali Allah can be used as an example or
model of medieval critical thinking that has brought about major changes in the field of
Islamic science. He also prepared a critical thinking manhaj that is in line with the
revelations thus making him comparable to other scholars of the past. |
