Islami Jamiat-e-Talaba Pakistan (Urdu: اسلامی جمعیت طلبہ ‎) is the largest and most organised student organisations in Pakistan. IJT influenced mainly by the works of Late Syed Abul-Ala Maududi. It is an Islamic organization whose stated mission is to preach Islam to students of modern institutions throughout Pakistan.From the 1970s till about the early 1990s it was also the main ideological engine powering the concept of Political Islam on the country’s university and college campuses. 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 like Bazm-e-sathi .

It has a counterpart of the same ideology but with a complete, separate and independent structure and organisation, known as Jamiat Talaba Arabia. (JT Arabia works in religious institutions).

The headquarters of Islami Jamiat Talaba is 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.

Mission

The rise and fall of the IJT

It is the student-wing of the fundamentalist Jamat-e-Islami (JI), and it was formed by the party in December 1947.Originally conceived as a student-based Islamic evangeliudcal outfit, it was in 1958, or right after the imposition of Pakistan's first martial law (by Field Martial Ayub Khan), that IJT jumped into the fray of student politics. On the eve of IJT's activation as a political outfit, campuses and student union elections across Pakistan were dominated by leftist student organisations such as the Democratic Students Federation (DSF) and then the National Students Federation (NSF). The IJT was instructed by the JI leadership to persuade neutral students to agitate against the Ayub dictatorship's overwhelmingly secular legislation and to challenge the domination of leftist student organisations in educational institutions. JI liberally poured funds into IJT's student union election campaigns and the student organisation gradually began to rise as a powerful electoral force. This artical is to be continued
