Abd al-Haqq al-Dehlawi was an Islamic scholar. He was born in 1551 (958 AH) in Delhi, hence the suffix Dehlavi to his name. In 1587 (996 AH), he made the pilgrimage to Mecca, where he stayed for the next three years studying a hadith and Sufism under various scholars. Upon his return to Delhi, he taught for half a century and authored more than 100 works, including a history of Medina, a biography of Prophet Muhammad, and work on the lives of saints. He died in Delhi, in 1642 (1052 AH). His mausoleum exists at the edge of Hauz-i-Shamsi near Qutub Minar, Mehrauli, Delhi.
