Tanzeem-e-Islami

Tanzeem-e-Islami (Urdu: تنظیمِ اسلامی) is a Pakistani Islamic organisation that advocates the implementation of the Sharia, 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][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".

The influence of the Tanzeem-e-Islami only increased after the coup of July 5, 1977 by the Pakistani Chief of Staff Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq.

Ahmed's other television programs were "Allf Lam Meem", "Rasul Kamil", "Umm ul Kitab" and "Al-Huda".

Pakistani President Zia-ul-Haq campaigned for Israr Ahmed to receive a weekly program on state television PTV.

Due to serious health issues he requested the Majlis-e-Shura to choose another Ameer and resign from the Amarat of Tanzeem.

[8] While the organization itself has repeatedly affirmed that it stands against violence, some of its members have been involved in jihadist militancy, like Mufti Habibullah, who had been running madrasas in Karachi and Hyderabad, and Prof. Mushtaq, former teacher at the University of Karachi's Department of Islamic Studies, who were both caught in Balochistan in 2017 for their links with Ansarul Sharia Pakistan (ASP), while other TI activists have also been linked to Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and al-Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS).
