In theKhilafat Movement, he was a member of the Central Khilafat Committee ofBombay. He took a stand against theShuddhi movement, which was initiated byHindu Arya Samajis to reconvert Indian Muslims toHinduism. Abdul Hamid left theIndian National Congress and joinedMarkazi Tableeg al-Islam to oppose the Shuddhi Movement and actively worked to prevent the reversion of Muslims to Hinduism withNaeem-ud-Deen Muradabadi, Abdul Hafiz Qadri,Peer Jamaat Ali Shah and Syed Abu al-Hasanat Qadri.[citation needed]
He was a member of the All-India Muslim League Council beginning in 1937. He neutralized the influence of Pro-CongressDeobandi ScholarHussain Ahmad Madani inSylhet and Bengal in favor of the Muslim League. The resolution for the creation of Pakistan was adopted on March 23, 1940. He spoke in favor of the resolution at Minto Park, Lahore. At theAll India Sunni Conference held at Banaras in 1946,Peer Jamaat Ali Shah declaredMuhammad Ali Jinnah a Muslim and Maulana Abdul Hamid supported Syed Jamaat Ali Shah and spoke for more than 3 hours in support of Quaid-e-Azam & the Muslim League.[3][1]
Badayuni went to Hijaz in 1946 under the leadership ofMuhammad Abdul Aleem Siddiqi to request that the Saudi Government end the Hajj Tax and also to explain the mission of the Muslim League to create an independent Pakistan. He visited Haramain Sharifain 22 times and met many Muslim Leaders.

He believed that non-Muslims should not be made ministers in an Islamic nation.[4] He raised the demand of making Pakistan an Islamic nation and view of Ulama should be given preference over secular law.[5] He was on the forefront ofpersecuting the Ahmadiyyah and demanded that theAhmadi should be declared non Muslim,[6] and through All India Muslim league he demanded that Ahmadi should not be made members of the Muslim League.[7]
Badayuni died in Karachi on 20 July 1970 (15 Jamadi-al-Aula 1390 Hijri) and was buried on the grounds of the Islamic College located on Manghopir Road.[citation needed]
Badayuni authored several influential works in Islamic doctrine, jurisprudence, and socio-religious movements. His writings include fatwa compilations, practical guides, and devotional poetry.
These writings reflect Maulana Badayuni’s combined roles as jurist, Sufi, and political activist, reinforcing orthodox Sunni positions during formative periods of South Asian Islamic activism.
