Shah Wali Allah Dehlavi, one of the most renowned Umm al-Quds of the Indian Subcontinent, is known for his new and new material as one of the innovators and innovators of the recent centuries. One of the reasons for his innovation can be attributed to his multifaceted personality and the link between these traits. Therefore, both Salafist and jihadist movements, as well as modernist, unitarian, and reformist movements have been influenced by him. Dehlavi’s innovations can be divided into five sections: “Theology”, “Guidance”, “Sociology”, “Anthropology” and “Social Thought”. In his theology, he presented new divisions and definitions of monotheism and polytheism, which in some cases led to cultivation. Also, by presenting a new compilation theory, he tried to reconcile the unity of the existence of Ibn al-Arabi and the unity of intuition, but his theory led to the falsehood of unity and disunity. In Guidance, for the first time, he proposed the visionary vision of the Qur’anic revelation, after which some intellectuals, by expanding and extending the circle to the absolute revelation, presented unacceptable ideas. Contrary to the viewpoint of Ehltsnan, he considered the caliphate from the principles of religion, and, by plotting the idea of ijtihad and imitation, tried to make a comprehensive theory among the Sri Laidan religions, but his ideas later led to the formation of new professions. In his social discourse, he presented one of his most important innovations by presenting the topic of engagement (public interest).
