Yusuf Qardhawi, “Introduction On the Islamic
Movement”,
http://www.witness-pioneer.org/vil/Books/Q_
Priorities/introp1.htm#What Do We Mean By
Islamic Movement?
 Meaning Of Islamic Movement
 By "Islamic Movement", I mean that
organized, collective work, undertaken by the
people, to restore Islam to the leadership of
society, and to the helm of life all walks of
life. (Yusuf Qardhawi)
 Meaning Of Islamic Movement
 Before being anything else, the Islamic Movement is
work: persistent, industrious work, not just words
to be said, speeches and lectures to be delivered, or
books and articles are indeed required, they are
merely parts of a movement, not the movement itself
 Meaning Of Islamic Movement
 Allah the Almighty says, Work, and Allah,
His Messenger and the believers will see
your work} [Surat al-Tawba: 1 05].
 For Allah's sake
 Islamic movement is a popular work based
mainly on self-motivation and personal
conviction.
 performed out of faith and for nothing other
than the sake of Allah, in the hope of being
rewarded by Him, not by humans.
 Inadequacy of Official Work
1. Revolves in the orbit or domestic policy of
the state that starts and finances it.
2. It is not based, in most cases, on men proven
by work. Instead on “appointment”
3. Often lacks the true intend to defend islam
 The Movement is an Organized,
collective work
 Congregational prayer is a miniaturization of
the overall Islamic congregational system and
of what the interrelation between the
commander and the troops should be like:
there is neither infallible leadership nor
absolute, blind obedience.
 Mission of the Islamic Movement

existence to revive Islam and reinstate it at
the helm of life once again, after removing the
obstacles from its path.
