history
Tanzeem-e-Islami was founded in 1975. When the TI was founded, it was a traditional Islamic organization. The founder, Israr Ahmed, shared his views on the Koran and Sunna with supporters of the TI. The TI initially had only a few supporters. The influence of the Tanzeem-i-Islami only increased after the coup d'état of July 5, 1977 by the Pakistani chief of staff, Zia ul Haq .
Israr Ahmed's first television program was called Al-Kitab and was broadcast during Ramadan 1978. Ahmed's other television programs included Allf Lam Meem , Rasul Kamil , Umm ul Kitab and Al-Huda . These TV shows were broadcast across Pakistan. The Pakistani Prime Minister Zia-ul Haq campaigned for Israr Ahmed to receive a weekly program on the state television station PTV . Ahmed's television show was one of the first in which an Islamic clergyman gave lessons about Islam. Israr Ahmed complained that, in his opinion, there were too few women wearing headscarves in the audience of his show. Zia ul Haq instructed the Ministry of Broadcasting that newscasters should only use subtle make-up on television. In 1983, Israr Ahmed spoke out in favor of introducing a worldwide caliphate . He surprised the audience with controversial statements about cricket in Pakistan.
“Cricket is making Pakistanis ignore their religious obligations… I am convinced that cricket matches should not be shown on TV. ... Even after the showing of matches on TV is banned, only men should be allowed to go to the stadium to watch these matches. "
“Cricket makes Pakistani people neglect their religious obligations ... I am convinced that cricket should not be shown on television ... Even if the televised broadcasting of games has been banned, only men should be allowed to go to the stadium to watch those games see."
The episode with the statement about the cricket games was not broadcast on TV and his show was temporarily suspended. Israr Ahmed protested. However, he did not lose his following.
In 1975, 103 people attended its first event. Of these, 62 joined the Tanseem-e-Islami. In 1992 the TI had 1,778 members and a further 234 members in the Middle East. The women's department at TI was founded in 1983. In 1990 it had 122 members.
In 1994 TI had two locations, one in Sakkar and one in Islamabad, as well as two international locations, one in Toronto and one in Chicago .
Tanseem-i-Islami runs Koran schools in Karachi , Lahore and Multan.
In 2013 the TI called for a boycott of Valentine's Day and put up posters all over Pakistan.
In 2016, the Pakistani authorities ordered the TI to halt efforts to establish a global caliphate.
