Abdul Rashid Sheikh Dawoodi is a Sunni Muslim scholar,[1] preacher[2][3][4] and reformer from Jammu and Kashmir,[5][6] who founded the Islamic organisation Tehreek-e-Soutul Awliya.[5][7][8][9]

Biography

[edit]

Abdul Rashid Sheikh was born at Yaripora, Kulgam district.[5] He was enrolled by his father, Sheikh Abdul Rahman, in a religious institute run at that time by Qazi Nisar.[10][5] After Qazi Nisar passed away in 2005, he established an Islamic institute called Tehreek-e-Soutul Awliya,[11][12][5]which promotes the teachings of the 19th-century Indian scholar Ahmed Raza Khan Barelvi of the Hanafi tradition.[13]

In November 2006, he was wounded in a grenade attack while entering a mosque in Tahab area of Pulwama.[14][15][16] Police alleged that the attack was instigated by the militant outfit Hizbul Mujahideen.[17][18][19][20]

He believes that Islam is a religion of peace[21] and advocates for Ulemas to issue fatwas (edicts) in accordance with the Quran and Sharia, than to please anyone.[22] This statement was especially aimed at senior Saudi cleric Sheikh Abdul Aziz Al-Asheikh who, back in 2012, called for the banning and demolition of the churches in Kuwait. Dawoodi said that "there is no scope for violence in Islam".[22]

In September 2022, he was arrested by the central government, without the police citing any details that led them to invoke the Public Safety Act against him.[23][24] He was released after a year as the court quashed the detection order.[25][26][27]
