The movement was initiated by Ghulam Ahmed Pervez.[117][118][119][120] Ghulam Ahmed Pervez did not reject all hadiths; however, he accepted only hadiths that "are in accordance with the Quran or do not stain the character of the Prophet or his companions".[121] The organization publishes and distributes books, pamphlets, and recordings of Pervez's teachings.[121] Tolu-e-Islam does not belong to any political party, nor does it belong to any religious group or sect.
