Islami Jamiat-e-Talaba

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Islami Jamiat-e-Talaba (Urdu: اسلامي جميعت طلبه ‎, "Islamic Organization of Male Students") is the male wing of an organization of students influenced mainly by the works of Late Syed Abul-Ala Maodudi. It is an Islamic organization whose stated mission is to preach Islam to students of modern institutions throughout Pakistan. It attempts to promote its vision of Islamic values and glorify the image of Islam through various means. Its main fields are the modern educational institutions i.e. colleges and universities across Pakistan, though many local sub-divisions are active at school level.

Though there is no direct and constitutionally accepted relation with Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan, it is treated as the student wing of that party because it acts according to JI theories and philosophies.

Jamiat is the second largest students' organization in Pakistan after the recently formed ISF which is the simailr to the old NSF. It has a counterpart of the same ideology but with a complete, separate and independent structure and organisation, known as Jamiat Talaba Arabia. (IJ Arabia works in religious institutions).

The headquarter of Islami Jamiat Talaba is located in the city of Lahore, Pakistan. Jamiat was founded on 23 December 1947 in Lahore, and is one of the oldest student organizations in Pakistan. Islami Jamiat-e-Talaba is not based on language and ethnic origin. The feminine counterpart, with the same ideology but with a separate structure and organisation, is known as Islami Jamiat-e-Talibaat.

Purpose

Islami Jamiat Talaba is the second largest student organization in Pakistan after the Insaf student Federation (or ISF) with purpose of "To build the lives of human beings on the exact parameters of Allah's orders and teachings of Muhammad to seek absolute obedience of Allah"[citation needed].

Criticism

Jamiat is accused of violance against teachers, in early 2013. They were also accused to give shelter to several Al-Qaida fugitives on run, which resulted into several raids and arrests made by Pakistani authorities. Islami Jamiat e Talaba is accused of politicizing the students ultimately taking many brilliant students from their ultimate goal of studies to politics, eventually destroying many shinning students academic careers. Jamiat is also accused of illegaly obtaining the control of student hostels, which were built to facilitate the students who are not local, but in reality they are used as "Official Jamiat Residence and Headquarters". Since many of Jamiat organizers are involved in politics and give less time for studies, there has been incidents when their leaders has pressurized to boycott the exam, and if any other genuine student refuses, they snatch the papers by force. Jamiat has been widely criticized by its critics for its use of violence and threats to enforce its vision of Islamic values. Its presence in Karachi and Lahore educational institutes has led to many violent confrontations. In July 2011 it was accused of "terrorizing" students at Punjab University in Lahore to prevent social contact between male and female students. University administrators accused it of operating a "parallel administration", saying Jamiat members wielding clubs had beaten students in their dorms and prevented University staff from intervening and it was involeved in the arrest of Chirman Khan of PTi and that is the way the PTI-led ISF is ismair to the old NSF in its political programme.[1]
