Abdul Hakim Sialkoti (Template:Lang-pa; 1580 – 1656) was a Mughal-era Punjabi Muslim philosopher, theologian, logician and metaphysician.
Birth
Abdul Hakim Sialkoti was born in 988 AH/1580 during the reign of Mughal Emperor Akbar in Sialkot. He was the son of Shaykh Shams al-Dīn.
Education
Abdul Hakim was the student of a renowned religious scholar of his time, Shaykh Kamāl al-Dīn (d. 1017 AH/ 1608). Later, he also studied under another well-known theologian, Ahmad Sirhindi.
Mullah had two notable class fellows, Ahmad Sirhindi and Nawab Sa'dullah Khan, who was the grand vizier during the reign of Emperor Shah Jahan. Ahmad Sirhindi and Mullah were both classmates but after the completion of their studies they remained separated till 1022 AH/ 1613 but later in that year, one of Mullah's students remained absent for few days from the class. Mullah got concerned and he sent word for him. After that, the student came back with few pages in his hands on Mullah's curiosity, he told that he read these pages and caught his attention that he got so distracted from his studies. When Mullah read the pages, he was also surprised. In the end, he figured out that these pages were written by Ahmad sirhandi himself. After that one night in Mullah's dream, he saw Ahmad Sirhindi who was reciting some verses and interpreting the meanings of those to Mullah, when Mullah woke up he wrote a letter to Ahmad and mentioned the dream about him too, it is written in books that between 1023 AH/ 1614 to 1024 AH/ 1615, mullah went to Sirhand to meet Ahmad and Mullah accepted his discipleship. Ahmad too respected him a lot and even the title Mujaddid Alif Thani was given by Mullah himself while his true name is Sheikh Ahmed Sirhandi and also the Mujaddid gave Mullah a title of Aftab e Punjab ( A sun in the scholars of Punjab)
Career
During the reign of Shah Jahān, Sialkoti became the most influential scholar in the imperial court, and taught in the imperial madrassa in Delhi. He was also known as "Fazil Sialkoti" and "Fazil Lahori". Shah Jahan had him weighed in gold twice. His fame had reached the Ottoman Empire already during his lifetime. He was the one who gave the title of Mujadid-e-Alf-e-Sani (Reviver of the second millennium) to Ahmad Sirhindi and introduced the Persian philosopher Mulla Sadra in the Subcontinent.

His most important works include Ḥāshiya-yi sharḥ ḥikmat al-'ayn, Ḥāshiya-yi sharḥ al-'aqā'id of 'Allamah al-Taftāzānī, Ḥāshiya-yi sharḥ al-mawāqif of 'Allamah al-Jurjānī, Ḥāshiya-yi sharifiyyah, Ḥāshiya-yi sharḥ-i shamsiyyah, Durrat al-thamīnah and risāla al-khāqāniyya.
