Tolu-e-Islam
(English:
Resurgence of Islam

, is an organization which focuses on understanding the
Quran
via logic, empiricism, and the appropriate application of the rules of Classical Arabic.

The words
Tolu-e-Islam
, meaning "dawn" or "resurgence" of Islam, were taken from "
Tulu'i Islam

History and philosophy
[
edit
]
The movement was initiated by
Muhammad Iqbal
, and later spearheaded by
Ghulam Ahmed Pervez
.
In his writings and speeches, Ghulam Ahmed Pervez, who succeeded Iqbal as Tolu-e-Islam's lead scholar, has deductively analyzed Quranic verses with little or no emphasis on hadith.
[2]
He also provided a new commentary on the Quran based on a re-translation of key verses, based on applying proper rules of classical Arabic and its conventions, which have been overlooked by the mainstream sects. As well as releasing a Quranic Dictionary (Lughat-ul-Quran) which translated many of the key words used in the Quran. Ghulam Ahmed Pervez did not reject all hadiths; however, he only accepted hadiths which "are in accordance with the Quran or do not stain the character of the Prophet or his companions".
[3]
The organization publishes and distributes books, pamphlets, and recordings of Pervez's teachings.

Non-affiliation

Tolu-e-Islam
does not belong to any political party, nor does it belong to any religious group or sect . It is strictly against sectarianism, because such acts of creating sects/divisions in Islam is equal in magnitude to "Shirk" i.e. rejection of Monotheism.
[4]
Tolu-e-Islam seeks to propagate the Quranic teachings so that the system of “Khilafat ‘Ala Minhaj-e-Risalat” (God's direct rule on Earth, where the Quran is the only source of derivation of law) is once again established.
