Mawlana Mawdudi occupies a
pivotal position in the movement for Islamic rebirth in the 20th century. He
started his revolutionary mission at a time when the Western civilization was at
the height of its intellectual and political power and when almost the entire
Muslim world was in the grip of the western colonial rule. The demise of the
Ottoman Caliphate had extinguished the last apparent hope of the Muslim Ummah.
The clouds of gloom were cast upon the Muslim world. The horizon looked dark and
dismal. It was in this background that a young scholar Mawdudi raised a clarion
call for Islamic revival and reassertion. He invited the Muslims to the real
source of their strength : The Qur'an and Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad P.B.U.H.
He awakened the Muslims to a new goal and mission to live and to die for Islam
