| Summary: | From its establishment in 1941 in the Indian Subcontinent, the Jamaat-e-Islami (JI), a
contemporary leading Islamic movement in Bangladesh, represents a comprehensive example
of a Muslim group in trying to address the prevailing socio-cultural and politico-economic
problems which Muslim nations face. The purpose of this study to examine Bangladesh Jamaate-Islami (BJI) and it’s policy, ideology, social activities and most importantly intellectual
activities and involvements in the policies of Islamization of family and society. In this regard,
Jamaat’s constitution, literatures and various lectures of the top leaders available were critically
analyzed. This study found that the concept of “Islamization of family and society” is used as
an important means for an Islamist movement to revert the ultra-secular polity as well as liberal
and extreme views not in favor of Islam. This study concludes that based on the true Islamic
teachings, the BJI has the potential in promoting a project of Islamization Movement in order
to develop and institutionalize a value-oriented family and society based on the worldview of
Islam. |
