Jamiat Ahle Hadith Jammu and Kashmir (lit. 'Organisation of the People of Hadith in Jammu and Kashmir') is a Salafi organization based in Srinagar, in Indian-administrated Jammu and Kashmir.[1][2] The main motive of the organisation is to practice and propagate the Quran and Hadees in accordance to the Salafi Thought.
The organization has many educational centres across the state. In 2011, under the leadership of Showkat Ahmad Shah, Jamiat Ahle Hadith planned to open a global university, named the Trans World Muslim University.[3][4] After the assassination of Shah, the plan was abandoned.[5]
Jamiat Ahle Hadith's headquarters are located in Eidgah, Srinagar, where religious conferences are held.[6]
As of March 2024, Dr. Abdul Lateef Al-Kindi is its current president for a three-year term, while Mushtaq Ahmad Wani serves as the general secretary. Mufti Muhammad Yaqoob Baba Al-Madani serves as the grand mufti.
