Mulla Abdul Hakim Sialkoti
Imam al-Shaykh Abdul Hakim Sialkoti [Fazil al-Lahori] (Punjabi: ملا عبدالحکیم سیالکوٹی, romanised: Mulla ʿAbd al-Hakim Siyalkoti; c. 1580 – 1656) was a philosopher, theologian, logician and metaphysician.
He was born in 988 AH. [b.1580] during the reign of Mughal Emperor Akbar into a weaver family from Sialkot. He was the son of Shaykh Shams al-Din, an Islamic scholar. Abdul Hakim received his early education from his father, and then studied under the renowned religious scholar of his time, Shaykh Kamal al-Din (d. 1017 AH/ 1608), who was also the teacher of another well-known theologian, Shaykh Ahmad Sirhindi. In his later life, Sialkoti became a disciple of Shaykh Ahmad Sirhindi as well.
Shaykh Ahmad Sirhindi and Sialkoti were both class fellows. After the completion of their studies, they remained separated till 1022 AH/1613. Later in that year, one of Sialkoti's students remained absent for a few days from the class. Sialkoti got concerned and he sent word for him. The student came back with few pages in his hands and on Sialkoti's curiosity, he told that he read these pages and they caught his attention that he got distracted from his studies. When Sialkoti read the pages, he was also impressed. Ultimately, he figured out that these pages were written by Ahmad Sirhindi himself. Between 1023 AH/1614 and 1024 AH/1615, he went to Sirhind to meet Ahmad and accepted Sirhindi's discipleship. He was the one who gave the title of Mujaddid-e-Alf-e-Sani (Reviver of the second millennium) to Shaykh Ahmad Sirhindi. In return, Shaykh Ahmad Sirhindi bestowed upon him the title of Aftab-i-Panjab (Sun among the scholars of Punjab).
Abdul Hakim Sialkoti was a prolific writer. His most important works include Hashiya-i sharh Hikmat al-'Ayn, Hashiya-i sharh al-'Aqa'id of 'Allamah al-Taftazani, Hashiya-i sharh al-Mawaqif of 'Allamah al-Jurjani, Hashiya-i Sharifiyyah, Hashiya sharh Shamsiyyah, Durrat al-Thaminah and Risala al-Khaqaniyya.
His notable students include Chandar Bhan Brahman, Qazi Abdur Rahim Muradabadi, Sayyid Ismail Bilgrami, Shaykh Muhammad Afzal Jaunpuri, Ismatullah Saharanpuri and Mawlana Muhammad Qanuaji. After Abdul Hakim Sialkoti's death in 1656, his son Mawlana Abdullah (d. 1094 AH/1682) became chief scholar of Sialkot, and his madrassa became a centre of learning.
