ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Syed Abul A'la Maududi (Urdu: ابو الاعلی مودودی
– alternative spellings of last name Maudoodi, Mawdudi, also known as
Abul Ala Maududi; 25 September 1903 – 22 September 1979) was an Islamist philosopher, jurist, journalist and imam.
He was the founder of the Jamaat-e-Islami, the largest Islamic organization in Asia. He
and his party are thought to have been the pioneer in politicizing
Islam and generating support for an Islamic state in Pakistan.
In
his tafsir (Quranic interpretation) Tafhimu'l-Qur'an, he introduced the
four interrelated concepts he believed essential to understanding the
Quran: ilah (divinity), rabb (lord), `ibadah (worship, meaning not the
cherishing or praising of God but acting out absolute obedience to Him
and din (religion).
