Formation

Split into Markazi Jamiat Ahle Hadith (MJAH) and Jamiat Ahle Hadith Pakistan (Elahi Zaheer) (JAHP) and remerge

In 1987, following Zaheer's death, JAH later splits up into 2 main factions, namely Markazi Jamiat Ahle Hadith (MJAH) led by Sajid Mir and another faction led by Ehsan Elahi Zaheer's son Ibtisam Elahi Zaheer namely Jamiat Ahle Hadith Pakistan (Elahi Zaheer) (JAHP). But in 2018, Ibtisam Elahi Zaheer later announced to remerge his faction along with Sajid Mir's faction. Now the original Jamiat Ahle Hadith Pakistan is led by Ehsan Elahi Zaheer's son Dr. Allama Hisham Elahi Zaheer
