Jamiat Ahle Hadith Jammu and Kashmir (lit. 'Organisation of the People of Hadith in Jammu and Kashmir ') is an Islamic Ahl-i Hadith organization based in Srinagar, in Indian-administrated Jammu and Kashmir.[1][2] The main motive of the organisation is to practice and propagate the Ahl-i Hadith movement. The organization has lakhs of followers across Kashmir.
It has many educational centers across the state imparting the Islamic education and some schools operating under Jammu & Kashmir Board of School Education (such as the Madaris Muhammadia). The assassinated President of the organization, Molana Showkat Ahmad Shah planned to open a Global university (Trans World Muslim University) but hasn't been able to do so due to opposition of the bill by the then Congress MP of Kashmir Saif ud din Soz in the upper house of the assembly.[3][4] After the assassination of Molana Showkat Ahmad Shah, the hierarchies of Jamiat Ahlihadith never put forward the demand of the University.[5]
Headquarters of a faction is located in Barbarshah, and the other in Parraypora Srinagar. It holds religious conferences across the state each year in which many scholars across India actively participate.[6] The organization has a charitable diagnostic test centere in Kashmir which provide medical facilities at a relatively less and affordable cost. The test center is located at headquarters in Barbashah locality of Srinagar and samples are collected at different places like Soura.[7]
The former president of the organization Showkat Ahmad Shah was killed in a blast when he was approaching the main entrance of Grand Mosque in Gawkadal, Srinagar for Friday prayers.[8][9] Ghulam Rasool Malik was elected as President of the organisation and after his term Molana Ghulam Mohammad Bhat is the president.[10] As of March 2024[update] Dr Abdul Lateef Al-Kindi is its current elected president for a three-year term while Mushtaq Ahmad Wani serves as the general secretary. Mufti Muhammad Yaqoob Baba Al-Madani serves as the grand mufti.
