Nizam-e-Jadeed

Nizam-e-Jadeed was a reform movement launched in Punjab, British India, in 1951 by Maulana Abd al-Wahhab2. It aimed to promote a purer interpretation of Islam, emphasizing adherence to traditional practices and reforming societal behaviors seen as un-Islamic. The movement encouraged religious revival, moral discipline, and social conservatism. It gained support among those seeking to strengthen Islamic identity and values amid changing political and social conditions. While it focused on spiritual and moral renewal, it also sought to influence community and cultural norms, making it a significant ideological force in shaping contemporary Islamic thought in the region.
