Muhammad Ibrahim Mir Sialkoti (Urdu: محمد ابراہیم میر سیالکوٹی, romanized: Muḥammad Ibrāhīm Mīr Siyālkūṭī; c. 1874 – 12 January 1956) was a Pakistani Islamic scholar of the Ahl-i Hadith. He was a muhaddith, khatib, historian, journalist, writer, religious activist and activist of the Pakistan Movement.[1][2][3][4][1][5][6][7][8][9][10]

He was also an expert on tafsir (Quranic exegesis) and faqih (jurist in jurisprudence) and wrote several books.[11] Mir is considered one of the partisans of Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan and Sanaullah Amritsari.[5] In 1945, a party called Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam was formed. Shabbir Ahmad Usmani was its president and Mir was its vice president.[5] Its first meeting was held in Calcutta. Usmani could not attend due to illness then the meeting was chaired by Mir.[12][13][14]

Mir was also a major antagonist of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad and the early Ahmadiyya movement and wrote several books rejecting Qadiyanism.[15][16] Mir was one of the founding members of All-India Muslim League.[17]
