Main interests

Syed Sadatullah Husaini (سید سعادت اللہ حسینی; born June 7, 1973) is the president (Amir) of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind (JIH)[1][2].[3] He is former National President of Students Islamic Organisation of India. He has been heading the JIH's Study and Research Department as its director. He is a regular columnist in various magazines, journals and newspapers writing on burning issues and state of affairs. He is based in Hyderabad.

Brief biography[edit]

He was educated in the Nanded town of Maharashtra, where he graduated in electronics and telecommunication engineering. During his student days he was associated with Students Islamic Organisation of India and has been its president for two consecutive terms (1999–2003).[4][self-published source?]

Social activism[edit]

When he joined the Markazi Majlis-e-Shura of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind, he was its youngest member. He was on the boards of many social and academic organizations in Hyderabad, Bangalore, Delhi and Aligarh.[5][self-published source?]

Globalization and capitalism[edit]

He says that although Islam stands for globalization and universal brotherhood, modern globalization is a tool of exploitation that creates economic and social inequality. The globalization has resulted in the monopoly of western cultural and ethical values and has undermined the political sovereignty of the nation states.[6]

Feminism and women[edit]

Sadat Husaini is critical of both the traditional Muslim societies and the modern western societies for their treatment of women. According to him, the traditional Muslim societies have not given the women their due place and rights as stipulated by Islam, while the modern western societies have snatched femininity and the very essence of womanhood from women in lieu of equality.[7]

Muslim politics in India[edit]

Sadat argues that the right path for Muslims in a pluralistic society such as India is to engage in healthy dialogue with majority non-Muslim communities and contribute in a positive manner to the nation-building. He has been critical of the conspiracy theories, blame games and ghettoized politics and has always urged the fellow Muslims to develop positive mental attitude and strengthen the communication channels with the majority community in India.[8]

Postmodernism[edit]

In an exclusive paper Sadat has argued that Postmodernism is logically incorrect notion and it is an extreme reaction to Modernism. According to him, the position of Islam that divinely revealed truths are absolute and all other truths are relative, is a perfectly balanced notion that is free from the contradictions of postmodernism. He has supported the Transmodernism notion of Ziauddin Sardar, and argued that Islam is a transmodern reality.[9]

Right to Education Act[edit]

The Indian parliament has passed the Right to Education Act (RTE). It holds the government responsible for providing education to every citizen of the country. Criticizing the RTE act, Mr. Sadat said that it has negated minorities' constitutional rights and Muslims will not be able to run their religious educational institutions and madrasas.[10]
