Widely respected in both religious and political circles, Maulana Sherani has played a significant role in shaping Islamic discourse in Pakistan. His tenure as head of the Council of Islamic Ideology marked a period of active engagement in national religious affairs, earning him recognition as a principled and influential voice.
Maulana Sherani has long been a respected figure in Pakistan’s religious and political landscape. He previously served as a senior leader of the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) before being expelled by the party’s Disciplinary Committee in December 2020. The decision sparked internal criticism, with former JUI-F KP chief Maulana Gul Naseeb defending Sherani’s integrity and questioning the party’s evolving leadership standards.
Following his departure from JUI-F, Maulana Sherani established his own faction, Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Sherani (JUI-Sherani). In 2022, he announced a political and religious alliance with Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) after meeting former Prime Minister Imran Khan. Both leaders pledged to collaborate on combating Islamophobia and addressing social inequality through joint efforts.
