Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami (Bengali: বাংলাদেশ জামায়াতে ইসলামী, lit. 'Bangladesh Islamic Congress'), previously known as Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh,[12] is a Bangladeshi Islamist political party; it is the largest Islamist political party in Bangladesh.[b]

The origin of the party can be traced back to the original Jamaat-e-Islami party founded by Abul A'la Maududi in 1941. Its predecessor, the Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan opposed the independence of Bangladesh and the dismemberment of Pakistan.[c]

Upon the independence of Bangladesh in 1971, the new administration banned Jamaat-e-Islami, along with all religion-based parties, Following the assassination of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman in 1975, the ban on Jamaat was lifted in 1979 and Jamaat was reallowed to participate in politics by the Government of Ziaur Rahman[12][5] and the new party Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh was formed. Exiled leaders were allowed to return. Abbas Ali Khan was the then acting Amir of Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh. In the 1980s, the Jamaat joined the multi-party alliance for the restoration of democracy. It later allied with the Bangladesh Nationalist Party and Jamaat leaders became ministers in the two BNP-led governments of prime minister Begum Khaleda Zia (from 1991 to 1996 and from 2001 to 2006). Awami League also got involved with Jamaat to come to power in 1996.[23] In 2008, it won two of 300 elected seats in Parliament. In 2010, the government led by the Awami League, began prosecution of war crimes committed during the 1971 war under the International Crimes Tribunal. By 2012, two leaders of the BNP, one leader from Jatiya Party and eight from Jamaat had been charged with war crimes and by March 2013, three Jamaat leaders were convicted of crimes.[24] On 1 August 2013, the Bangladesh Supreme Court cancelled the registration of the Jamaat-e-Islami, ruling that the party is unfit to contest national elections.[d] With the surge of July Revolution, then Sheikh Hasina regime banned the party fully on 1 August 2024.[29][30] However, after the fall of Sheikh Hasina, The decision was reversed on 28 August by the interim government.[31][32]
