💨 Abstract

This article compares two religious leaders, Maulana Rahmatullah Kairanawi from the 19th century and Zakir Naik in the present, both of whom advocated a traditionalist, anti-Western form of Islam in response to colonialism and cultural anxiety. Kairanawi led a jihad against the British East India Company in India, while Naik is currently wanted in India for inciting religious hatred.
