Jamaat-e-Islami Hind

Jamaat-e-Islami Hind ( Urdu : جماعتِ اسلامی ہند , Hindi : जमात-ए-इस्लामी हिन्द) is one of the largest and most influential Islamic organizations in India. It is an offshoot of the Jamaat-e-Islami , which split into separate independent organizations in India, Pakistan, Bangaladesh and Jammu & Kashmir following the Partition of India in 1947. Jamaat-e-Islami Hind was officially formed in April 1948, at a meeting in Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh. The organization projects Islam as "the practical doctrine and programme that can take the place of the failed man-made creeds of the twentieth century". It follows a policy of promoting education, social service, and ecumenical outreach to the community and has a reputation for disciplined organization, welfare work and honesty. It has involved itself in various humanitarian and relief efforts across many parts of India.

Indian political party Jamaat-e-Islami Hind ( JIH , Urdu : جماعتِ اسلامی ہند , Hindi : जमात-ए-इस्लामी हिन्द) is an Islamic organisation in India , founded as an offshoot of the Jamaat-e-Islami , which split into separate independent organizations in India, Pakistan , Bangaladesh and Jammu & Kashmir following the Partition of India in 1947. JIH has been described as having undergone an "ideological transformation" from working to make India an Islamist state to fighting for a secular state. Its founding principle is that Islam is a complete way of life rather than simply a set of worship practices, which would provide "the practical doctrine and programme that can take the place of the failed man-made creeds of the 20th century". In its early years it condemned as haram (religiously forbidden) both secularism and democracy, but later came to accept and then an "embrace" of both secularism and democracy in post-colonial India. While a relatively small party, with around 10,000 members and 500,000 sympathizers among India's 130 million Muslims, it follows a policy of promoting education, social service, and ecumenical outreach to the community and has involved itself in various humanitarian and relief efforts across many parts of India. Jamaat-e-Islami Hind was officially formed in April 1948, at a meeting in Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh. The Government of India twice banned the organization though both decisions were revoked by rulings from the Supreme Court of India . During the mid-1980s, it allowed its members to vote in elections in India. By 2002 it was described as "fervently campaigning to defend and strengthen secularism and democracy" in the face of advances by Hindu nationalists . On 18 April 2011, it facilitated the launch of a national political party Welfare Party of India , under a leadership that included top functionaries of the organization and members from the wider Muslim community and outside, including a Christian priest.

Islamic organisation in India Jamaat-e-Islami Hind ( , abbreviated as JIH ) is an Islamic organisation in India , founded as an offshoot of the Jamaat-e-Islami , which split into separate independent organisations in India, Pakistan , Bangladesh following the Partition of India in 1947. Islam is the ideology of the Jamaat-e-Islami Hind. Its structure is based on its belief on the three-fold concept of the Oneness and sovereignty of God (Monotheism), the Concept of Prophet-hood and the Concept of Life after Death. From these fundamentals of belief follow the concepts of unity of all mankind, the purposefulness of man's life, and the universality of the way of life taught by Muhammad. JIH specifies its guiding principle as "Iqaamat-e-Deen" ("Establishment of the Islamic way in all aspects of life") in its constitution. Its guiding principle is that Islam is a complete way of life (rather than simply a set of worship practices). It provides "a practical doctrine and programme that can take the place of the failed man-made creeds of the 20th century". While a relatively small party, with around 12,000 members and 500,000 sympathisers among India's 130 million Muslims, it follows a policy of promoting education, social service, and ecumenical outreach to the community and has involved itself in various humanitarian and relief efforts across many parts of India.
