Biography

Abdul Rashid Sheikh was born at Yaripora in Kulgam district.[1] He was enrolled by his father, Sheikh Abdul Rahman, in a religious institute run at that time by the preacher Qazi Nisar.[1] After Qazi Nisar passed away, he set up an Islamic institute called Tehreek-e-Soutul Awliya[1] which promoted the teachings of the 19th-century scholar Ahmed Raza Khan Barelvi of the Hanafi tradition.[6]

In November 2006 he was wounded in a grenade attack while entering a mosque in Tahab area of Pulwama.[7][8][9] Police alleged that the attack was instigated by the militant outfit Hizbul Mujahideen.[10][11][12][13]

Perceiving Islam as the religion of peace, he advocated that "Ulemas should issue fatwas (edicts) in accordance with the Quran and Sharia. Fatwas must not be issued to please anyone".[14] This statement was directed against senior Saudi cleric Sheikh Abdul Aziz Al-Asheikh who, back in 2012, had asked for banning and demolition of the churches in Kuwait. Dawoodi said that "there is no scope for violence in Islam".[14]
