In his commentary of the Qur ' an, Abul Ala Maududi ( 1903 – 1979 AD ) noted that historically most Muslim scholars had endorsed the identification of Dhul-Qarnayn with Alexander the Great, but recent commentators have forwarded an alternative theory that Dhul-Qarnayn is Cyrus the Great:

Another attempt was made by Maulana Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi through his Jamaat-e-Islami party.

Although Maududi talked about Islamic revolution, he was both less revolutionary and less politically / economically populist than later Islamists like Qutb.

Maududi condemned them by saying that these nationalists are asking for the independence we consider even worse than Britain rule.

* Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi, who is credited with creating modern Islamist political thought in the 20th century, was the founder of " Jamaat e Islami " and spent his life in attempting to revive the Islamic Intellectual Tradition.

Maulana Maududi wrote significant articles about political issues.

General met with Maulana Maududi and advised him not to take part in politics but when President Ayun Khan left a ban over political parties, Jamaat was first to be active.

This word is also sometimes used as an adjective or noun for people who are politically sympathetic to the point of view of these groups / parties and the political thought of Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi.

Azam, whose political thought was significantly influenced by Syed Abul Ala Maududi, opposed the independence of Bangladesh before and during the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War out of a desire to prevent further divisions of the Muslim community ( Maududi opposed the partition of India for the same reason ), and for fear of Indian hegemony.

The modern conceptualization of the " Islamic state " is attributed to Abul Ala Maududi ( 1903 – 1979 ), an Indian Muslim theologian who founded the political party Jamaat-e-Islami and inspired other Islamic revolutionaries such as Ayatollah Ruhallah Khomeini.

Some Muslim religious organizations cite this work in support of the Islamic view of Jesus ; in particular, the Islamic apologists Rashid Rida in Egypt and Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi in Pakistan gave it qualified acceptance.

Central figures of modern Islamism include Sayyid Qutb, Hasan al-Banna, Abul Ala Maududi, Taqiuddin al-Nabhani, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, and Navvab Safavi.

Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi was a " alumni " and an important early twentieth-century figure in the Islamic revival in India, and then after independence from Britain, in Pakistan.

Maududi founded the Jamaat-e-Islami party in 1941 and remained its leader until 1972.

Although Maududi was educated at Deobandi institution ( s ) his party is a long-time rival of the Deobandi party / group Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam.

Maududi also believed that Muslim society could not be Islamic without Sharia, and Islam required the establishment of an Islamic state.

Roughly contemporaneous with Maududi was the founding of the Muslim Brotherhood in Ismailiyah, Egypt in 1928 by Hassan al Banna.

Like Maududi, Al Banna believed in the necessity of government rule based on Shariah law implemented gradually and by persuasion, and of eliminating all non-Muslim imperialist influence in the Muslim world.

Ba ' athism, Arab Socialism, and Arab Nationalism suffered, and Islamist movements inspired by Mawlana Maududi, and Sayyid Qutb gained ground.

* September 22 – Abul Ala Maududi, Pakistani journalist and philosopher ( b. 1903 )

later workers included Naeem Sidiqi and Maulana Maududi.

* Abul Ala Maududi one of the Muslim scholar ( 1903 – 1979 ) was born in Aurangabad, India.

Syed Abul A ' ala Maududi was born to Maulana Ahmad Hasan, a lawyer by profession.

Islamist writers Abul Ala Maududi and Sayyid Qutb both urged the formation of an Islamic vanguard to restore Islamic society.

Qutb talked of an Islamist vanguard in his book Ma ' alim fi al-Tariq ( Milestones ) and Maududi formed an Islamist party Jamaat-e-Islami whose goal was to establish an ideological state, administered for God solely by Muslims " whose whole life is devoted to the observance and enforcement " of Islamic law.

The JI was founded on August 26, 1941 in Lahore by Muslim theologian and socio-political philosopher Abul Ala Maududi.

The Jamat-e-Islami was founded at Islamia Park, Lahore on August 26, 1941 as a movement to promote what its founder, religious scholar Syed Abul Ala Maududi, believed were Islamic values and practices.

Mulana Abul Ala Maududi adopted this Modern Islamist ideology after analyzing all factors including Khilafat Movement, end of Ottoman Caliphate by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, leadership crisis in Muslims, Indian Nationalism ’ s influence over Muslims, aggressive attitude of Indian National Congress and Hindus and trying to merge Muslims in Hindu religion.

Due to such views of Maulana, Allama Iqbal said in one meeting to leave Congress ’ scholars for Maududi.

And you wanted no part of me when I had so much to give.

During much of the fifteen-mile ride they had watched a lurid display of lightning in the sky to the east.

No one had much to say.

They'd peddled the soap virtually alone, and without much success, until about a year ago, when -- with the addition of `` SX-21 '' to their secret formula and the inauguration of a high-powered advertising campaign -- sales had soared practically into orbit.

Their product had been endorsed by Good Housekeeping, the A.M.A., and the Veterinary Journal, among other repositories of higher wisdom, and before much longer if you didn't have a cake of their soap in the john, even your best friends would think you didn't bathe.

True, she was my Aunt, married to an Uncle related to me only by marriage, but why she had married a man twice her age, and more, perhaps, I did not know or much care.

Her mouth, which had been so much in my thoughts, was warm and moist and tender.

His advice, his voice saying his poems, the fact that he had not so much as touched her -- on the contrary, he had put his head back and she had stroked his hair -- this was all new.

And he would have enjoyed it just as much if he had been a Nazi.

`` No thank you very much '', Schaffner had answered in his accented English.

They couldn't have much dough, but then none of the freight-bums Feathertop rolled had much.

It is much less difficult now than in Lincoln's day to see that on both sides sovereign Americans had given their lives in the Civil War to maintain the balance between the powers they had delegated to the States and to their Union.

To say that science had reduced many such fears merely reiterates the obvious and frequent statement that science eliminated much of magic and superstition.

When these had been pocketed, we could still spend a morning cracking open other pebbles for our delight in seeing how much prettier they were inside than their dull exteriors indicated.

That is to say Gabriel's fundamental law had been so much modified by this time that it was neither fundamental nor law any more.

During the decade that followed, the common man, as that piece put it, grew uncomfortable as the Voice of God and fled from behind Saint Woodrow ( Wilson ) only to learn from Science, to his shocked relief that after all there was no God he had to speak for and that he was just an animal anyhow -- that there was a chemical formula for him, and that too much couldn't be expected of him.

Years were to pass before these plans came off the paper, and Wright was justified in thinking, as the projects failed, that much of what he had to show his country and the world would never be seen except by visitors to Taliesin.
