About Us
BRIEF INTRODUCTION
Jamaat-e-Islami Hind was formed in April 1948, with Maulana Abullais Nadwi as its Ameer (President). The Jamaat addresses all Indians regardless of caste and creed. It appeals to all sections of humanity to eschew the path of violence and mutual hatred, terrorism and oppression, and to settle down to the task of building a Righteous Society on stable and abiding foundations.
It appeals to all sections of humanity to eschew the path of violence and mutual hatred, terrorism and oppression, and to settle down to the task of building a Righteous Society on stable and abiding foundations. From its very inception it advocated the cause of the Righteous Way, the way of peace and abiding well-being. It recalls to the Indian mind the message and teachings of all apostles, prophets and divine messengers. The Jama’at points out that the time has come for the nation and the world to learn from the traumatic past. We must learn from the experience of the west; and from the bitter turmoil that raged in our own country. The Jamaat believes that Islam and Muslims have a special commitment to building a peaceful and prosperous world, a world where there is no material exploitation, no division of human life into separate material and spiritual domains, and where divine values hold good in all walks of life. A world where religion is no tool for harmonisation, but is a way of life that is holistic and profoundly positive. It rejects the un-Islamic principle ‘the end justifies the means’; instead, the Islamic movement professes the way adopted by the prophets, the way of peaceful and non-violent transmission of ideas.
