Assalam-u-aleikum,

Could anyone expand on exactly why Mawlana Eslahi left Jama’at-e-Islami in 1958?

Assalamu Alaykum, Faisal

I'm not really sure, it's been I while since I read his biography and as such am not entirely clear on the reasons he left (so why am I responding to this post then eh?!) but I do rememember something related to his disagreement with Mawdudi over the political law of Islam , and the corresponding role of the Ulema and parties like the Jamiatul-Islami.

Anyhow I believe you should find what you are looking for in this link

Thank you both for the links, although I don't see what the hizmetbooks link has anything to do with my question :)

Salams,
When jamaat-i-Islami was founded in 40s,Amin Ahsan islahi and Maulana Manzoor Nomani were one of the scholars whojoined.Islahi had joined it at the instance of Maulana Manzoor nomani.But Manzoor Nomani,Maaaulana Abul hasan Ali Nadvi,Maulan Jafar Phulwari and some other scolars and its nearly one third members got disillusioned with
Jamaat and parted ways with it
Islahi,
thugh unsatisfied with some of the policies of Jamaat,did not desert Maududi sahib and kept supporting Maududi sahib in every respect.He kept defending Mawdudi sahib and Jamaat against its and his detractors.He was considered as a right hand man of Mawdudi.Maududi sahib was becoming increasingly authoritarian,obsessed with politics.Islahi sahib,s correspondence with Mawdudi sahib reveals that Mawdudi sahib,s authoritarian attitude
and his indifference to the opinions of Shura made Islahi and many other part ways with Jamaat.
For details see Dr.Israr Ahmad,s book "Jamaati Islami ka ik gumshada bab and Islahi,s Maqalat.
If u have any question in this regard,I,ll try to explain it.

Jamat-e-islami has always supported dictorial regimes in Pakistan, be it zia's rule or the current pervez's one. It has always supported the generals and it was actively involved in the so called afghan jihad against the russions where the party made millions of dollars as a result of that jihad.
As far as Maududi is concerned im still searching as to wheter he really was a true scholar and wrote all the books and the tafseer-e-Qur`an himself since he never had any formal Islamic education and he was a 'self scholar'. Does ISLAM is easy enough to be interpreted by self studying? Moreover i've heard that maududi was in favour of mutta and considered qadianis to be muslims. im not sure. If anyone has true info please do deliver it to us.
Thank you.

Tafheem-ul-Qaur’an, his translation of its meaning and his commentary is one of the best commentaries of the Qur’an from our times. There is no doubt about his knowledge and wisdom from this piece of work itself. I’m surprised at all the attacks against him, especially those that attack his intention. Criticising his intentions is beyond anyone’s jurisdiction in my opinion.

Concerning him supporting Qadianis; that is so ridiculous. He was one of the staunchest of their opponents.

salam,
Hischam Khan u dont live in pakistan dats y u amazed why all blaimed to Mudoodi,
i agree with u that his commentary is the best one, but perhaps u dont know the real myth behind ......... why most of the great scholar(who renowned when they left tha JAMAT) left him away..........?

it is the long story, intrested poeple should read "Tabeer ki ghalti" by Maulana Wahid-udin Khan.............. he was the member of that jamat but left it ..... he is the greates scholar of now days living in india.....

the summary i can tell u in one senatnace that Maulana Muddi thought that if we want to do the thinks correct, we should conqurer the GOVT, we should capture the high political position then we will do the "right" things in favor of islam...........even iif we have to force poeple to follow them.so strive your enrgies to get those chairs.....

His spirit was apericable but preception was wrong

this is the MOTO of current JAMAT-e-islami and was the MOTO of Taliban GOvt......
but we al know that Polytics n islam are the two things....

dats y , realizing that big mistake by Modoodi sahab, most of the scholars left , Maulana Ameen Ahsen Islahi, Maulana Wahiduddin Khan .. etc..

why Mododi took the wrong perception, why did not he make him on the right way.?
to get these answers i recomend u to read Maulana Wahidudin's book

Salams,
Maulana Wahedudin Khan,s "Taabir Ki Ghalti" is a probing critique of
Mawdudi sahib,s views and thoughts. Unlike Mawdudi,s other critics,Wahedudin khan has taken to task his pet philosophy i.e Iqamat-e-Din.Now Wahedudin Khan,s views ,in this regard,are shared by many other great scholars like Javed Ghamid sahib etc.
As for as Mawdudi sahib,s scholarship and erudition is concerned ,he was indubitably one of the great scholars the Muslim world produced.
Had it not been for his obsession with politics,Mawdudi sahib would have rendered much nobler services for Islam.
Jamati Islami has derailed a great deal from the track Mawdudi had envisioned for it.Had Mawdudi heeded Islahi,Waheedudin Khan,s counsels,
Jamaati Islam would have wrought a great revolutin in Pakistan,if not in the entire Muslim world!
