The Taliban’s Ministry of the Propagation of Virtue and Prevention of Vice announced Friday September 5, 2025 that it had arrested Sufi leader Ibrahim Gailani, a senior figure in the Qadiri order, along with several of his followers.

Saif Khyber, a ministry spokesperson, accused Gailani of “misusing Sufism” and said the group was carrying out “practices contrary to Sharia under the cover of religion.”

The ministry said it was responsible for the “intellectual and ideological reform of society” to prevent the spread of “false ideas and misguided beliefs.” In a statement, it added: “Every faithful Muslim is obliged to protect society from practices that contradict the principles of Sharia and the Hanafi school of jurisprudence.” The statement also claimed that Afghanistan is an Islamic country where all citizens are Muslims and followers of the Hanafi school.(20250907)
