Kanthapuram A. P. Aboobacker Musliyar, officially known as Sheikh Abubakr Ahmad[b][3][4] (born 22 March 1931)[1][a], is the tenth and current Grand Mufti of India.[5][6] and General Secretary of the All India Sunni Jamiyyathul Ulama (the Indian Muslim Scholars Association) and General Secretary of Samastha Kerala Jamiyyathul Ulama.
In 2014 he launched a campaign to plant 100,000 trees throughout India as part of preparations for the Sheikh Zayed International Peace Conference, held in New Delhi.[31]
Educational revivalist
Sunni Markaz Conference 2013
Musliyar educated several scholars from different parts of India.[32][33] He is involved with Markaz Knowledge City, Markaz Unani Medical College & Hospital [34], and with higher education and research.[35][36] He said in an interview with Khaleej Times that the "Education is key to peace".[37]

Musliyar has condemned Islamic extremism. He says that "Militant groups such as the Islamic State (IS) are trying to defame a religion that advocates peace and tolerance."[38][39] In November 2015, he commented on gender equality, saying: "Gender equality is something which is never going to be a reality. It is against Islam, humanity and was intellectually wrong."[40][41][42][43][44] He said, "only woman can give birth." But some media misquoted him as saying women are capable only of childbirth.[45][46]
Fatwa against ISIS
Musliyar was the first to issue a fatwa against ISIS.[47][48] Musliyar issued his Fatwa on ISIS on 27 August 2014 CE. This is the first fatwa—a nonbinding legal opinion in Islamic law—issued against ISIS according to Ashwani Kumar writing in Khaleej Times.[49][50] The document, a copy of which is held in the United Arab Emirates National Archives, was a commission to all IndianSunni Jamiyyathul Ulama to raise awareness against terrorism. At the time of the fatwa, Abubakr did not hold the title of Grand Mufti since his election to the office came on 24 February 2019. He has also issued fatwas a second time against ISIS[51] and against other terrorist groups.[52]
On CAB and CAA
Musliyar opposed the Citizenship Amendment Bill[53][54] and Citizenship Amendment Act,[55][56] and he organised and attended in many protests against the act.[57][58][59][60] Though he did not supported the hartal organised by SDPI[61][62][63][64] and said the hartal is needless.[65][66][67][68] He visited the family members of protesters killed in police firing at Mangalore to express his condolences.[69] He was widely criticized for his stand on protesting women against the CAA. He stated that "women shouldn’t hit streets against CAA, and shouldn't raise slogans or clench fists."[70][71]
On Babri Masjid Verdict
Musliyar appealed to the Islamic Community of India to welcome the Supreme Court verdict in the Babri Masjid dispute case before the verdict[72][73] and accepted after. He said "We respect the Supreme Court. Everyone must strive for peace in India.[74] The victory or defeat over the Babri Masjid incident may be significant to every party, but the protection of India and its sovereignty is much more important."[75][76] "Babri Masjid is a place of worship for Muslims,[77] but equally important is that all people live peacefully in India."[78]
In the late 1980 Musliyar was a leader of the Samastha Kerala Jamiat-ul-Ulema together with E. K. Aboobacker Musliyar but due to personality differences chose to split off a group which came to be known as the AP Faction; the residual group becoming referred to as the EK Faction.[80]
Both factions, which are pre-dominately based in Kerela, have set up a set of broadly parallel organisations at both All India and state level, with Musliyar dominant in those of the AP Faction.
In January 2018 committees were formed to re-unite the factions with the objective of re-uniting the groups to achieve an improved political influence.[80] As of June 2020[update] there has been no merger.
At the time of his assumption of the title of Grand Mufti of India in February 2019 he was variously described as general secretary of the All-India Muslim Scholars Association for over 25 years,[8] and as general secretary of the All India Sunni Jamiyyathul Ulama.[7]
