"The Political and Religious Ideology of Abu Al-Ala Mawdudi"

Abstract

This study delves into the political and religious ideology of Abu Al-Ala Mawdudi, a seminal figure in modern Islamic thought. Mawdudi's contributions to Islamic revivalism, his articulation of an Islamic state, and his interpretation of sharia have profoundly influenced contemporary Islamic movements. By analyzing his writings and speeches, this research elucidates Mawdudi's vision of a theocratic political system where sovereignty belongs solely to God, rejecting secularism and Western political models. The study further explores his views on jihad, democracy, and the role of Muslims in a pluralistic world. Mawdudi's impact on global Islamist movements, particularly in South Asia and the Middle East, is also examined, highlighting his legacy and ongoing relevance. Through a comprehensive review of primary and secondary sources, this paper offers a nuanced understanding of Mawdudi's ideology and its implications for contemporary Islamic political thought.
