The All India Ulama & Mashaikh Board (AIUMB)[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] is a body of Indian Sunni Muslims. It was founded by Syed Mohammad Ashraf Kichhouchhwi. It is the representative body of Ahl-E-Sunnah Wal-Jamaat consisting of the Sajjada Nasheen (Patrons-in-Chief) of the Dargahs, imams of mosques, the Mufti and teachers of the madrasas.

AIUMB advocates for a rejection of radical Islam, wahhabism and jihadism, for a return of Islamic holy places to the Sunni ummah, and for proper representation of all Muslims.

Large gatherings

AIUMB Sunni Conference in Jagdishpur Amethi

It has been in news for starting a movement against the hardline faction of Islam which it described are Wahabis and Salafis.[13]

In recent years, AIUMB has organised large-scale conferences, popularly known as “Muslim Maha Panchayats”, in addition to small gatherings, in many parts of India, in an effort to awaken the country’s Muslims. These efforts of Sufi Sunni Muslims, who constitute around 80% of total Muslim population in India, have also been endorsed by the Indian Shias in their resolutions, which have duly been forwarded to governmental authorities. In these gatherings, Sunni Sufis have declared that they accept neither the Imamat (religious leadership) nor the Qayadat (political leadership) of the extremist Wahhabis.
