Khadim Hussain Rizvi (Urdu: خادم حسین رضوی; 22 May 1966[citation needed] – 19 November 2020[1]) was a Pakistani Islamic scholar and the founder and Ameer of Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan,[2] a religiopolitical organization founded in 2015, known to protest against any change to Pakistan's blasphemy law.[3]

Fluent in Urdu, Punjabi, Arabic and Persian, he was known for his speeches in the defense of the Islamic prophet, Muhammad, and apart from the Quran and hadith, for heavily quoting the poetry of Ahmad Raza Khan and Muhammad Iqbal, whom he considered to be his main influences.[4]
