Jamaat al-Muslimeen (Arabic: جماعة المسلمين), literally translated as "Group of Muslims", "The Muslim Group", "The Muslim Assembly", "The Muslim Society", or "The Muslim Community", is a Muslim group found in the South Asia. Headquartered in Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan, it was founded by Masood Ahmad in the 1960s. The present leader of this group is Muhammad Ishtiaq. This group is different from the "Jamaat al Muslimeen" of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago.
Several movements have been found by the name of Jamaat al-Muslimeen, but this article focuses on a Muslim group which is found in the South Asia and headquartered in Karachi, Pakistan. This group does not associate themselves with any other Muslim group, like Takfir wal-Hijra or other terrorist groups like "Jamaat al Muslimeen" of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, England based Abu Isa's Group, etc.[1]
Jamaat-ul-Muslimeen is a movement in Islam founded (Ehya) by Syed Masood Ahmad in the 1960s.[2] The present leader of this Jamaah is Muhammad Ishtiaq[3].
"The Man" is a slang phrase that may refer to the government or to some other authority in a position of power. In addition to this derogatory connotation, it may also serve as a term of respect and praise.
The phrase "the Man is keeping me down" is commonly used to describe oppression. The phrase "stick it to the Man" encourages resistance to authority, and essentially means "fight back" or "resist", either openly or via sabotage.
The earliest recorded use[citation needed] of the term "the Man" in the American sense dates back to a letter written by a young Alexander Hamilton in September 1772, when he was 15. In a letter to his father James Hamilton, published in the Royal Dutch-American Gazette, he described the response of the Dutch governor of St. Croix to a hurricane that raked that island on August 31, 1772. "Our General has issued several very salutary and humane regulations and both in his publick and private measures, has shewn himself the Man." [dubious – discuss] In the Southern U.S. states, the phrase came to be applied to any man or any group in a position of authority, or to authority in the abstract. From about the 1950s the phrase was also an underworld code word for police, the warden of a prison or other law enforcement or penal authorities.
Abu Bakr (Abdullah ibn Abi Quhafa) (Arabic: عبد الله بن أبي قحافة, Transliteration: ʿAbd Allāh ibn Abī Quḥāfah, c. 573 CE - 634 CE) also known as Abū Bakr as-Șiddīq (Arabic: أبو بكر الصديق) was a senior companion (Sahabi) and the father-in-law of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. He ruled over the Rashidun Caliphate from 632–634 CE when he became the first Muslim Caliph following Muhammad's death. As Caliph, Abu Bakr succeeded to the political and administrative functions previously exercised by Muhammad, since the religious function and authority of prophethood ended with Muhammad's death according to Islam. He was called Al-Siddiq (The Truthful) and was known by that title among later generations of Muslims.
As a young man, Abu Bakr became a cloth merchant and he traveled extensively in Arabia and neighboring lands in the Middle East, through which he gained both wealth and experience. He eventually came to be recognized as the chief of his clan. On his return from a business trip to Yemen, he was informed that in his absence Muhammad had openly declared his prophethood. Not long after, Abu Bakr accepted Islam and was the first person outside the family of Muhammad to openly become a Muslim. He was instrumental in the conversion of many people to the Islamic faith and early in 623, Abu Bakr's daughter Aisha was married to Muhammad, strengthening the ties between the two men.
