Ahl Hadith (Urdu: اہل حدیث, ahl-e hadīs) is a Hanbali school of jurisprudence in Pakistan. The Ahl-i Hadith (also spelt ahlehadith) are an Islamic movement in South Asia that emerged in the 19th century. They reject the view that Muslims should 'blindly-follow' (or perform taqlid on) one of the four major Sunni schools of law, but rather they believe that Muslims should seek to follow the religious opinions which are closest to the original principles of Islam. They have religious convictions similar to those of the Wahabi (or Salafi) movement. Ahl-i Hadith are not restricted to the Indian subcontinent: there are, for example, an active group in Great Britain with over forty mosques and community centres throughout the country and have had an established head office in Birmingham since 1975. There is a central executive committee (Majlis-e Amal) which seeks to guide the Ahl-i Hadith establishment in Pakistan. Under it, the following parties occasionally meet to decide plan of action: 1. Markazi Jamiat Ahl-e Hadith 2. Jamiat Ghuraba Ahl-e Hadith 3. Jamaat al-Dawa 4. Jamaat al-Mujahideen 5. Mutahidda Jamiat Ahl-e Hadith 6. Jamaat Ahl-e Hadith 7. Tehreek al-Mujahideen 8. Jamaat al-Dawa al-Quran Afghanistan
