Tanzeem-e-Islami (Urdu: تنظیمِ اسلامی) is a Pakistani Islamic organisation that advocates the implementation of the Quran and Sunnah in the social, cultural, legal, political, and the economic spheres of life; and the "refutation of the misleading thoughts and philosophy of modernity".[1]
The organization was formed by author and Islamic scholar Israr Ahmed in 1975 following his break with the Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) party in 1957,[1][2] after the JI entered electoral politics in Pakistan.[3]
Tanzeem-e-Islami has emerged as a "strong conservative force" within Pakistan.[1][2] It opposes the development of a "modern secular curriculum" in universities, "friendly relations with the United States", and the influx of "Western values and vices" into Pakistan.[2] While it supports jihad, it emphasizes the need for "passive resistance and perseverance", to first gain a "substantial foothold" and build momentum in society.[4] While primarily active in Pakistan, TI has developed "affiliates based in the Indo-Pakistani Muslim communities in North America and Europe".[2][1]
