Muʿizz al-Dīn Abū ʿAbdallāh Ādam b. Ismāʿīl Banūrī (d. 1053/1643) was a leading deputy (khalīfa) of Aḥmad Sirhindī (d. 1034/1625), the prominent Indian shaykh of the Naqshbandī Ṣūfī order (originating in Bukhara in the eighth/fourteenth and ninth/fifteenth centuries) and eponym of the Naqshbandī-Mujaddidī branch, so called after Sirhindī's epithet the "Renewer (mujaddid) of the Second Millennium." As Sirhindī's khalīfa , Banūrī built a vast Afghan following that made him suspect in the eyes of Mughal authorities, leading to his banishment to the Ḥijāz.
