Abstract
Maulana Muhammad Ilyas Attar Qadri, a prominent Sunni
Islamic scholar of the Barelvi tradition, has played a pivotal role
in the global dissemination of Islamic teachings through the
establishment of Dawat-e-Islami. This analysis draws upon
verifiable biographical data, organizational records, financial
disclosures, and scholarly critiques to provide a logical,
objective, and evidence-supported overview. By integrating
historical facts, empirical data from organizational reports, and
peer-reviewed insights into religious movements, this
examination aims to elucidate Qadri's background, the evolution
of Dawat-e-Islami, its operational framework, financial
transparency, and associated controversies. Sources include
Wikipedia entries, official organizational websites, nonprofit
financial filings, and media reports, ensuring a multidisciplinary
approach grounded in sociology of religion and organizational
studies.
