Abdul Hamid Qadri Badayuni

He received ijazah in Silsila e Chishti (Sabria) and Qadriyyah from his Maulana Sheikh Muhammad Shafi Khawaja Nasir ud Deen Rampuri.

He neutralized the influence of Pro-Congress Deobandi Scholar Hussain Ahmad Madni in Sylhet and Bengal in favor of the Muslim League.

[3][1] Badayuni went to Hijaz in 1946 under the leadership of Muhammad Abdul Aleem Siddiqi to request that the Saudi Government end the Hajj Tax and also to explain the mission of the Muslim League to create an independent Pakistan.

He was a founding member of the Council of Islamic Ideology and also held the post of President of Jamiat Ulema-e-Pakistan, a body of the Barelvi movement in Pakistan.

[citation needed] Badayuni died in Karachi on 20 July 1970 (15 Jamadi-al-Aula 1390 Hijri) and was buried on the grounds of the Islamic College located on Manghopir Road.
