Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan è un conservatore sociale e partito politico islamista.

Jamaat-e-Islami (Urdu: جماعتِ اسلامی, JI) is a social conservative, and Islamist political party and this app is designed for Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan, Jamaats latest news updates, Jamaat songs and all other Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan belongings. Its objective is to make Pakistan an Islamic state, governed by Sharia law, through a gradual legal, and political process. JI strongly opposes capitalism, communism, liberalism, socialism and secularism as well as economic practices such as offering bank interest. JI is a vanguard party: its members form an elite with "affiliates" and then "sympathizers" beneath them. The party leader is called an ameer. Although it does not have a large popular following, the party is quite influential and considered one of the major Islamic movements in Pakistan, along with Deobandi and Barelvi.

JI came to its modern foundation in Lahore in 1941 in British India by the Muslim theologian and socio-political philosopher, Abul Ala Maududi. In 1947, JI moved its operations to West Pakistan after independence. Members who remained in India formed an independent organisation, Jamaat-e-Islami Hind.
