Shaikh Ahmed Sirhindi was responsible for the murder of 5th Sikh Guru named Guru Arjan dev on 30th May 1606 at Lahore. He wrote letters to the mughal emperor Jahangir asking to execute the "kafir".
<blockquote>
The most significant among the Gurus enemies was the Muslim clergy that felt threatened by his rising religious acceptance among the masses. The chief among these was Sheikh Ahmed Faruqi Sirhindi, a cleric of the all powerful of Naqshbandi order of Sirhind who also held the title of Qayum (Deputy of God). He looked upon himself as a revivalist of the Islamic order in Punjab and wished to destroy the Guru and the Sikh faith.
