Dawat-e-Islami (Pakistan) is a globally recognized, non-political Islamic organization committed to spreading the teachings of the Quran and Sunnah across the world. It was founded on September 2, 1981, in Karachi, Pakistan, by the esteemed Islamic scholar Shaykh-e-Tariqat, Ameer of Ahl-us-Sunnah, Sheikh Muhammad Ilyas Attar Qadri Razavi Ziyae (may his exalted blessings continue).
Sheikh Muhammad Ilyas Attar Qadri - the driving force behind Dawat-e-Islami - is revered as a spiritual leader and scholar of the highest order. He founded Dawat-e-Islami with the guiding principle: "I must strive to reform myself and the people of the entire world." His vision was deeply rooted in spiritual purification, promoting unity, and elevating the moral and religious standards of Muslims globally. Through his leadership, Dawat-e-Islami has grown exponentially, inspiring millions to follow the teachings of the Holy Quran and the Sunnah of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (May Peace and Blessings be upon him & his household).
