Israr Ahmad (Urdu: اسرار احمد; 26 April 1932 – 14 April 2010), was a Pakistani Islamic scholar, orator and theologian. He developed a following in South Asia but also among some South Asian Muslims in the Middle East, Western Europe, and North America.
He has written around 60 books on Islam and Pakistan, of which twenty nine have been translated into several other languages, including in English, as of 2017.[3]
In 1956 he left the Jamaat-e-Islami, which had become involved in electoral politics, to found Tanzeem-e-Islami.[4][5] Like many other Sunni Islamic activists/revivalists he preached that the teachings of the Qur'an and the Sunnah and divine law of Sharia must be implemented in all spheres of life, that the Caliphate must be restored as a true Islamic state, and that Western values and influences were a threat to Islam and Pakistan. He was also known for his belief that Pakistan, not Arab lands, should be the foundation for a new caliphate,[5] that democratic governance was unislamic.
He was awarded the Sitara-i-Imtiaz, the third-highest civilian award of Pakistan, in 1981.[6][5]
