Empowering Muslims: Challenges & Solutions | Syed Sadatullah Husaini (JIH President)

Join us for an insightful conversation with Syed Sadatullah Husaini, Ameer (President) of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind and former National President of the Students Islamic Organisation of India (SIO). He has authored several books, including ‘Hindustani Musalmano ki Tamkin o Taraqqi: Bahesiat e Khaire Ummat’, ‘Hindutva Intiha Pasandi: Nazariyati Kashmakash aur Musalman’, and ‘Badalti hui Duniya aur Islami Fikr’, and has published over 500 articles in Urdu and English.
In this discussion, we explore his personal and organizational journey, the vision and structure of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind, and its ideological foundations. We also examine critiques of the organization, including its evolving stance on electoral politics and its role in contemporary India.
A significant part of our conversation focuses on the condition of Indian Muslims today—examining Islamophobia, the rise of Hindutva politics, and systemic challenges such as hate crimes and discrimination. How can the community counter these forces while preserving its identity and values? What strategies can foster a positive shift in public perception and ensure social empowerment?
We also reflect on deeper philosophical questions, including the Islamic concepts of Sabr (patience) and Tawakkul (trust in God) in the face of oppression.
Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion on faith, resilience, and the future of Indian Muslims.
