| Summary: | Removing the causes of disintegration and paving the way for the reintegration of the
Ummah (global community of Muslims) is one of the main agendas of the revivalist
movements. Islamic revivalist movements (henceforth as IRMs) are urging ordinary
Muslims to adopt a more conservative outlook in their daily lives. Among these IRMs,
the Tablighi Jamaat (TJ) founded by Maulana Muhammad Ilyas and the Jamaat-i-Islami
(JI) established by Maulana Maududi have attracted the attention of millions of
Muslims. While scholars have extensively studied the origin, ideologies, and
Islamization of these Muslim evangelical movements. There is a lack of scholarly
literature on the comparative study of both Islamic movements on the question of what
factors led to the decay and downfall of the Muslim community. Drawing from various
primary and secondary sources, this paper seeks to explore the perspectives of both
these revivalist movements on the disintegration of the Muslim Ummah. Both of these
Islamic revivalist movements widely believe that Muslims deviated from the true path
of Islam, and as a result, God punished them by depriving them of their socio-political
glory. The ultimate objective of both the revivalist movements is the same but they have
many differences when it comes to implementing their reformation schemes. |
