Dr. Israr Ahmad
Israr Ahmed (Urdu: ڈاکٹر اسرار احمد; April 26, 1932 – April 14, 2010; Msc, MBBS) was a prominent Pakistani Islamic theologian,[1] philosopher,[2] and one of the noted Islamic scholar[3] followed particularly in South Asia as well as by the South Asian diaspora in the Middle East, Western Europe, and North America.[4]
He was the founder of the Tanzeem-e-Islami and an off-shoot activist of the rightist Jamaat-e-Islami.[3] Ahmed wrote and published 60 books on the different aspects of Islam and religion, nine of which were translated into English.[3] Prior to that, he was a television personality and daily hosted a religious show on Peace TV.[5]
Early life and education[edit]
Israr Ahmed was born in Hisar, a province of East Punjab of British Indian Empire, on 26 April 1932.[6] His father was a civil servant in British Government[6] and had his family settled from Hisar to Montgomery, now Sahiwal, Punjab Province of Pakistan.[6][7]
After graduating from a local high school, Ahmed moved to Lahore to attend the King Edward Medical University in 1950.[3] There, he received MBBS from King Edward Medical University in 1954 and began practicing the medicine.[3] During his university studies, he worked briefly for Muslim Students Federation and was Nazim-e-Ala of the Islami Jamiat-e-Talba.
In 1950, he joined the Jamaat-e-Islami led by Abul Ala Maududi, but left the party when the latter opted for electoral politics in 1957. Ahmed resigned from the Jamaat-e-Islami in April 1957 because of its involvement in the national politics, which he believed was irreconcilable with the revolutionary methodology adopted by the Jama'at in the pre-1947 period.[4] His interest in Islam and philosophy grew further and subsequently moved to Karachi, Sindh Province in 1960s where he enrolled in the Karachi University. After submitting his thesis in 1965, he earned M.Sc. in Islamic Studies from Karachi University.[3]
