A Query about Mujaddids and their Signs (http://deoband.org/2010/04/hadith/hadith-commentary/a-query-about-mujaddids-and-their-signs/)
The beginning [of something] is referred to as ra's therefore a mujaddid would be at the beginning of a century although the beginning of a century is also the end of the century that preceded it because it is possible someone may refer to it as the end [of that preceding century]. Anyway, in whichever century he comes he will be there at the beginning of that [particular] century so that the effect of his tajdid remains until the end.The signs of a mujaddid are that through his speeches and writings and through his endeavors and efforts innovations (bid'ahs) are abolished, the Sunnah is spread [far and wide] and those sunnahs which were [considered] dead are revived. It is not necessary for his name to include "Ahmad" of "Muhammad" in it nor is this known from any [authentic] hadith.
