Abdul Rashid Sheikh "Dawoodi" , also known as Dawoodi Saeb, is a Sunni Muslim scholar,[2] preacher[3][4][5] and reformer from Jammu and Kashmir,[6][7][8] who founded the Islamic organisation Tehreek-e-Soutul Awliya.[6][9][10][11]

Biography

Abdul Rashid Sheikh was born at Yaripora in Kulgam district.[6] He was enrolled by his father, Sheikh Abdul Rahman, in a religious institute run at that time by the preacher Qazi Nisar.[6] In 2005, after Qazi Nisar passed away, he set up an Islamic institute called Tehreek-e-Soutul Awliya,[12][13][6] which promotes the teachings of the 19th century scholar Ahmed Raza Khan Barelvi of the Hanafi tradition.[14]

In November 2006, he was wounded in a grenade attack while entering a mosque in Tahab area of Pulwama.[15][16][17] Police alleged that the attack was instigated by the militant outfit Hizbul Mujahideen.[18][19][20][21]

Perceiving Islam as the religion of peace,[22] he advocates that "Ulemas should issue fatwas (edicts) in accordance with the Quran and Sharia. Fatwas must not be issued to please anyone".[23] This statement was especially 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".[23]
