The role played by Maulana during Solapur riots happened in October 2002 was lauded by Asghar Ali Engineer who wrote, "It should also be mentioned here that the role played by Maulana Shahabuddin Salafi was very laudable. He restrained the Muslim youth in Saharnagar area and Asranagar area otherwise the Muslims would have suffered far more damage. The Muslim youth were quite violent in their behaviour. It was restraint and wisdom exercised by the Maulana and also Police Commissioner Mr. More that saved the situation. The Maulana also protected many Hindu lives in these areas."<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.sacw.net/2002/AAEngineerNov02.html|title=RECENT RIOTS IN MAHARASHTRA Asghar Ali Engineer (Nov 2002)|website=www.sacw.net|access-date=2018-05-08}}</ref>
