Jamaat-e-Islami Hind (Urdu: جماعتِ اسلامی ہند, abbreviated as JIH) is an Islamic organisation in India,[1] founded as an offshoot of the Jamaat-e-Islami, which split into separate independent organisations in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh following the Partition of India in 1947.

Islam is the ideology of the Jamaat-e-Islami Hind. Its structure is based on its belief on the three-fold concept of the Oneness and sovereignty of God (Monotheism), the Concept of Prophet-hood and the Concept of Life after Death. From these fundamentals of belief follow the concepts of unity of all mankind, the purposefulness of man's life, and the universality of the way of life taught by Muhammad.[1] JIH specifies its guiding principle as "Iqaamat-e-Deen" ("Establishment of the Islamic way in all aspects of life") in its constitution.[2] Its guiding principle is that Islam is a complete way of life (rather than simply a set of worship practices).[3][4] It provides "a practical doctrine and programme that can take the place of the failed man-made creeds of the 20th century".[5]

While a relatively small party, with around 12,000 members and 500,000 sympathisers among India's 130 million Muslims,[1] it follows a policy of promoting education, social service, and ecumenical outreach to the community[6] and has involved itself in various humanitarian and relief efforts across many parts of India.[7][8][9][10]

Jamaat-e-Islami Hind was officially formed in April 1948, at a meeting in Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh.[5] The Government of India twice banned the organisation though both decisions were revoked by rulings from the Supreme Court of India.[11][12] During the mid-1980s, it allowed its members to vote in elections in India.[13] By 2002 it was described to be campaigning against advances by Hindu nationalists.[1] On 18 April 2011, it facilitated the launch of a national political party Welfare Party of India, under a leadership that included top functionaries of the organisation and members from the wider Muslim community and outside, including a Christian priest.[14][15]
