History

Muhammad Bayazeed Khan Panni, the head of the Panni family from Tangail, founded Hezbut Tawheed on 16 February 1995 and served as its imam.
After the death of Panni in 2012, Hossain Mohammad Salim from the Noakhali District took oath as the Emam of the organization. According to its website, it has offices and organizational activities in all the districts of Bangladesh.

Controversy

Despite claims that the organisation is working against militancy and communalism, the group was blacklisted by Bangladeshi law enforcing agencies in 2008 for association with militants. Bangladesh Bank also issued a warning to the banking sectors of Bangladesh against joining any programmes organised by the group or its associated bodies.
The organisation has been criticised for publishing and preaching Quranist ideology.
