'''Tanzeem-e-Islami''' is an [[Islamic]] organisation that advocates the implementation of the [[Quran]] and [[Sunnah]] in the social, cultural, legal, political, and the economic spheres of life; and the "refutation of the misleading thoughts and philosophy of [[modernity]]".<ref name=IIU>{{Cite web|url=http://prr.hec.gov.pk/jspui/bitstream/123456789/12310/1/Shakeel%20Ahmad%20history%202019%20iiui%20isb%20prr.pdf|title=A Research Paper on Tanzeem-e-Islami Pakistan: A Socio-Religious Study, (1975 – 2010)|author=Shakeel Ahmad|date=2018|website=International Islamic University, Islamabad in collaboration with Higher Education Commission of Pakistan website|access-date=13 August 2020}}</ref>

==History==
Tanzeem-e-Islami was founded in 1975. When the TI was founded, it was a traditional Islamic organization. The founder, [[Israr Ahmed]], shared his views on the [[Quran]] and [[Sunnah]] with supporters of the TI. The TI initially had only a few supporters. The influence of the Tanzeem-e-Islami only increased after the [[Operation Fair Play|coup of July 5, 1977]] by the [[Pakistan]]i [[Chief of Army Staff (Pakistan)|Chief of Staff]] [[Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq]].<ref>{{cite web|author=Nadeem F. Paracha | url = https://www.dawn.com/news/786019/the-hearts-filthy-lesson|title=The heart's filthy lesson| work=dawn.com|date=2013-02-14 | access-date = 2018-11-29 | language = en }}</ref>

Israr Ahmed's first television show was called "Al-Kitab" and was broadcast during [[Ramadan]] 1978. Ahmed's other television programs were "Allf Lam Meem", "Rasul Kamil", "Umm ul Kitab" and "Al-Huda". These TV shows were broadcast across Pakistan. Pakistani Prime Minister Zia-ul-Haq campaigned for Israr Ahmed to receive a weekly program on state television [[Pakistan Broadcasting Corporation|PTV]]. Ahmed's television show was one of the first in which an Islamic clergyman gave lessons about Islam. Israr Ahmed complained that, in his opinion, there were too few women wearing headscarves in the audience of his show. Zia-ul-Haq instructed the Ministry of Broadcasting that newscasters should only use subtle make-up on television. In 1983, Israr Ahmed spoke out in favor of establishing a worldwide [[Caliphate]]. He surprised the audience with controversial statements about [[cricket]] in Pakistan.

{{Quote|text = Cricket is making Pakistanis ignore their religious obligations ... I am convinced that cricket matches should not be shown on TV. ... Even after the showing of matches on TV is banned, only men should be allowed to go to the stadium to watch these matches.| author = Israr Ahmed| source = statement made during his TV broadcast<ref>{{cite news |last1=Paracha |first1=Nadeem F. |title=The heart’s filthy lesson |url=https://www.dawn.com/news/786019 |work=[[Dawn (newspaper)|Dawn]] |date=14 February 2013 |language=en}}</ref>}}

The episode with the statement about the cricket games was not broadcast on TV and his show was temporarily suspended. Israr Ahmed protested. However, he did not lose his following.

In 1975, 103 people attended its first event. Of these, 62 joined the Tanseem-e-Islami. In 1992 the TI had 1,778 members and a further 234 members in the Middle East. The women's department at TI was founded in 1983. In 1990 it had 122 members.

The TI had two locations in 1994, one in Sakkar and one in [[Islamabad]] and two international locations, one in [[Toronto]] and one in [[Chicago]].

The TI operates [[madrasa]] in [[Karachi]], [[Lahore]] and [[Multan]].

In 2013, the TI called for a boycott of [[Valentine's Day]] and put up posters all over Pakistan.

In 2016, the Pakistani authorities instructed the TI to cease efforts to establish a worldwide caliphate.<ref>{{cite web | author = Israr Ahmad | url = https://nation.com.pk/08-Jan-2016/tanzeem-e-islami-told-to-change-slogan-about-caliphate | title = Tanzeem-e-Islami told to change slogan about 'Caliphate' | work = nation.com.pk | date = 2016-01-08 | access-date = 2018-11-29 | language = en }}</ref>
