Principles and Beliefs of Jamaat-e-Islami

Ideology Over Ethnicity. Integrity Over Power.

Ideology Over Ethnicity. Integrity Over Power.

In a landscape of dynastic politics and ethnic division, Jamaat-e-Islami stands firm on principle. We are the only ideological party in Pakistan, bound by faith rather than bloodline.


Our Non-Negotiables:

Tawhid (Oneness of God)

Tawhid (Oneness of God)

Allah is the sole Sovereign. His law is supreme over all man-made constitutions.

I

Internal Democracy

Leaders are elected, not inherited. From Local Shura to Central Ameer, every position is filled through secret ballot based on merit and piety ( Taqwa ). For local leadership, recommendation is collected from concerned area/region.

N

Non-Sectarian Unity

We rise above Fiqh differences. Our unity is based on the Kalimah, not sectarian labels.

P

Peaceful Struggle

We reject violence. Change must come through the heart, not the barrel of a gun.

A Legacy of Integrity:


In Islamic thought, there is no concept of a separation between religion and politics.
— Syed Abul A'la Maududi, (Reference: Islami Riasat, p. 21)


We do not separate faith from public life. Our politics is an act of worship.
