Markazi Jamiat Ahle Hadees Hind[2][3] (Urdu:مرکزی جمیعت اہلِ حدیث ہند, Arabic: المركزى جمعية اهل الحديث الهند) is a religious organization within Sunni Islam that follows the Ahle Hadith movement. Established in the Indian subcontinent in the 20th century, it has expanded its influence to various parts of the world. The organization has a notable presence within the Indian Muslim community, particularly in regions with significant Sunni populations. It operates mosques, educational institutions, and community centers across multiple states in India and publishes literature and magazines to disseminate its religious teachings and promote its ideology.

The Ahle Hadith, also known as Salafi,[4] represent a group within Sunni Islam that emphasizes adherence to the fundamental teachings of Islam as outlined in the Holy Quran and the Sunnah (the practices and approvals of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him). This group seeks to reject practices not explicitly mandated by Islamic law. Ahle Hadith followers advocate for a strict monotheism, seeking direct communion with Allah without invoking the blessings of saints. They do not adhere to any specific sectarian jurisprudence (fiqh), although they respect the various schools of thought within Islam. Their commitment to the foundational teachings of the Quran and Sunnah helps define their distinct identity within the broader Muslim community.

The Jama'at Ahl-e Hadith, an elitist politico religious movement aimed at islah (reform), has its origins in the early 1870s. Like other Sunni reform movements, it claims to continue the tradition of Shah Waliullah Dehlavi (1703–1762) whom it regards as the first modern Ahl-e Hadith member and draws on ideas of Syed Ahmed Barelvi (Ahmed Shaheed) (1786–1831), follower of Shah Abdul Aziz (1746–1824), the son of Shah Waliullah, and the Yemenite qadi Mohammad ibn Ali al Shawkani (1775–1839).
