Barelvi School of Islamic Scholars who actively and unconditionally supported All-India Muslim League (1906-1947) for its demand of Pakistan decided to come on the forefront in order to transform the nascent country into a moderate Islamic republic in the light of aspirations and instructions of M.A. Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan. Hence, they formed a religio-political party entitled Jam’iyyat Ulema-i-Pakistan (JUP) [A Party of Religious Scholars of Pakistan] in 1948. From the times of freedom movement of Indian Subcontinent, they felt Communism as well as Socialism a threat to the Islamic Social Order and they responded through their literary pursuits. After Independence they faced it as a challenge on the political front and dealt it accordingly. The 1970s country politics were divided into leftist and rightist camps and the JUP, being a Religious-Constitutional Right worked effectively against the political Left. In the current article JUP’s first three evolutionary phases of religio-political and constitutional Rightism have categorically been discussed.
