This paper deals with the Sufi shaykh Haji Imdad Allah Muhajir Makki’s (1817-1899) efforts for conciliation of different strands of Muslim religious thought in the late nineteenth century with particular reference to his main work on this theme-a short treatise titled Faisalah-i Haft Mas’alah (literally: A Resolution of the Seven Controversies). After an exposition of his hermeneutics of conciliation, it is opined that his teachings in this regard bear universal significance, and thus these can be helpful for our times.
