Muḥammad Ishāq Madnī (1935–2013) was a Pakistani Islamic scholar. Ishaq believed in the unity of the Islamic community (Ummah). He never denounced any sect and for this reason his circle of friends counted people of all sects. Ishaq Madni proclaimed openly, "Religion does not preach enmity amongst us, my message is one of love, to whatever extent it my lead".He believed that islamic scholars should focus only on saheeh hadiths instead of genearalising zaeef hadiths. He also believed that learned scholars of islam should be unbiased towards the different islamic schools of thoughts and should study the differences of opinions thoroughly and should give fatawa based on authenticity of the opinion not on the greatness or influence of the school of thought.
