A renewer every hundred years

In brief

The Prophet ﷺ said: 'Allah will send to this ummah, at the head of every hundred years, someone who renews its religion for it.' A renewer (mujaddid) brings back parts of the Sunnah that people had forgotten and clears away innovations.

The Arabic word used can mean one person or several. Many scholars named Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz as the renewer of the first century and al-Shafi'i of the second; later names are debated. Ibn Hajar and al-Dhahabi said renewal may be shared among many people, in different fields and different lands, rather than resting on one man.
