To me Moulana moudoodi was the Mujtahid of 20th century. He put life in the Islamic Terminologies and explained it as it was understood in the day of Prophet (peace be upon him. He thought that for a Muslim only traditional five pillars of Islam are not enough. Jihad (a continuous struggle to establish the Islamic governmental system subject to the sovereignty of Allah Almighty)is the objective of all these relegious practices.
I think that it’s not true that neither he founded a party on Leninist model nor he was inspired by the avante-garde European political parties of the 1930s. He actually founded the Islamic party on the model of Prophet Mohammad’s (PBUH) and he was only inspired by the prophet’s movement.
The writer is true in many of his viewpoints regarding the Jamaat’s success in elections. But now the environment is changed here in Pakistan. Inshallah soon the Islamic movements would be the successful in coming elections.

It is not true that Jamaat Islami won most of it,s seats in urban areas of sindh and punjab, Jamaat won most of the seats from NWFP and won many from both Sind and Punjab too.
Maudoodi is the revivalist of Islam in recent days, if a person wants to understand Islam, he should read the books of Maudoodi and other Jamaat,s authors. Maudoodi in his writings, proved that Islam is the only solution of human problems. The democracy, socialism and nationalism failed to solve the problems of humanity. The British, Americans and other so called modern nations not only failed to solve the problems but created the most greater problems for the people of this world starting wars in different parts of the world. Islam is the religion of peace and harmony but these countries are propagating Islam and it,s followers and are on the rampage of them, destroying them every where and still claiming that we are bringing peace and democracy in the muslim countries. This is the biggest lie of recent days.
