2021-01-24 20:48:09 Abul-A’la Mawdudi was a scholar, journalist, thinker and politician who devoted his life for the revival of Islam in the Indian subcontinent post British colonisation. He played an active role in cultivating the lost dignity and self-respect of Muslims and eventually established the ‘Jamaat-e-Islami’ – a political party and organisation created to uphold and educate Muslims in accordance to Islamic values.

In addition to the numerous literary and scholarly works including ‘Tafheem al Qur’an’ and ‘Seerah of the Prophet’; he expounded systematic ideas to challenge the status quo of secularism by introducing a unique Islamic political system and an Islamic constitution.

Whilst in Palestine, he preached to the lower classes, gathering a large following among landless ex-tenant farmers who had lost their livelihoods due to purchases of agricultural land by the Jewish National Fund.

Al-Qassam devoted himself to moral reform, encouraging the community to keep regular prayer, to maintain the Ramadan fast, and to stop gambling and drinking. His campaign was so successful that those among the townspeople who were not noticeably pious either reformed or began to conform to shari’a standards in public.
