A Revivier (Arabic:Mujaddid) is a scholar who brings renewal to Islam. Muslims believe that Allah sends a Mujaddid for this Ummah after every century. Holy Prophet said:
| “ | Verily Allah sends to this Ummah (community) at the head of every hundred years someone (or people) who will renew for it its religion. | ” |
Holy Prophet, Sunan Abu Dawood, Book 37: Kitab al-Malahim [Battles], Hadith Number 4278
