&#039;&#039;&#039;Majlis-e Ahrar-e Islam&#039;&#039;&#039; ({{lang-ur|مجلس احرارلأسلام}}), also known in short as &#039;&#039;&#039;Ahrar&#039;&#039;&#039;, is a religious Muslim political party in the [[Indian subcontinent]] that was formed during the [[British Raj]] (prior to the [[Partition of India]]) on 29 December 1929 at [[Lahore]].&amp;lt;ref name=MilliGazette&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.milligazette.com/news/3252-ahrar-a-chapter-in-indian-muslim-history |title=Ahrar: a chapter in Indian Muslim history|date=14 February 2012|work=The Milli Gazette|access-date=16 December 2018}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The group became composed of Indian Muslims inspired by and supporting the [[Khilafat Movement]], which cleaved closer to the [[Indian National Congress|Congress Party]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;jaf&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; The party is based in [[Punjab (British India)|Punjab]] and gathered support from the urban lower-middle class. [[Chaudhry Afzal Haq]], [[Maulana Habib-ur-Rehman Ludhianvi]] and [[Syed Ata Ullah Shah Bukhari]] were the leaders of the party.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;books.google.com&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Ahmad, Syed N. &#039;&#039;[https://books.google.com/books?id=wzm36rEol3sC Origins of Muslim consciousness in India: a world-system perspective]&#039;&#039;. New York u.a: Greenwood Press, 1991. p. 175&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Religious leaders from all sects [[Sunni]] [[Barelvi]], [[Deobandi]], [[Ahle Hadith]], [[Shia]] [[Progressivism|Progressive]] and politically [[Communists]] were the members of Majlis-e-Ahrar. [[Chaudhry Afzal Haq]], [[Syed Ata Ullah Shah Bukhari]], [[Habib-ur-Rehman Ludhianvi]], [[Mazhar Ali Azhar]], Maulana [[Zafar Ali Khan]] and Dawood Ghaznavi were the founders of the party.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;books.google.com&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; The Ahrar was composed of Indian Muslims disillusioned by the [[Khilafat Movement]], which cleaved closer to the [[Indian National Congress|Congress Party]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;jaf&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Christophe Jaffrelot. &#039;&#039;[https://books.google.com/books?id=Q9sI_Y2CKAcC&amp;amp;pg=PA243&amp;amp;dq=ahmadiyya+militia&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;ei=fakbTP2SNaeWsQbiouTWBg&amp;amp;sa=X&amp;amp;oi=book_result&amp;amp;ct=result&amp;amp;resnum=9&amp;amp;ved=0CEkQ6AEwCDgK#v=onepage&amp;amp;q=militia&amp;amp;f=false A history of Pakistan and its origins]&#039;&#039;.

After 1947, it separated into the &#039;&#039;&#039;Majlis-E-Ahrar Islam Hind&#039;&#039;&#039; (مجلس احرارلأسلام ہند), based in [[Ludhiana]] and led by descendants of [[Maulana Habib-ur-Rehman Ludhianvi]], as well as the Majlis-e-Ahrar-e-Islam (مجلس احرارلأسلام اسلام), based in [[Lahore]] and led by descendants of [[Syed Ata Ullah Shah Bukhari]].{{citation needed|date=March 2020}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History and activities==&lt;br /&gt;
===Ideology and philosophy===&lt;br /&gt;
Majlis-e-Ahrar-ul-Islam or simply called &#039;Ahrars&#039; had an anti-imperialist, anti-feudal and Indian nationalist ideology. It worked to free India from the British rule. This party, before fading away, was highly active in [[Punjab Province (British India)]] and left an impact on major cities of Punjab like [[Amritsar]], [[Lahore]], [[Sialkot]], [[Multan]], [[Ludhiana]] and [[Gurdaspur]].&amp;lt;ref name=MilliGazette/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Majlis-e-Ahrar-e-Islam,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Samina Awan, &#039;&#039;Political islam in colonial Punjab Majlis-e-Ahrar 1929–1949&#039;&#039;, P.153, Politics of Islamic symbolism, The MAI: Politics of Personalities, Oxford University Press&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; was originally part of the failed [[Khilafat movement]] and emerged as a religio-political party after the [[Jallianwala Bagh massacre]] of 1919 and the disintegration of the Khilafat movement in 1922.&amp;lt;ref name=MilliGazette/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Syed Ata Ullah Shah Bukhari]] presided over the meeting and [[Maulana Mazhar Ali Azhar]] delivered the manifesto of an All India Majlis-e-Ahrar-e-Islam. It became first line offending party against [[Ahmadi Muslim]]s by declaring that their objectives were to guide the Muslims of India on matters of nationalism as well as religion. Ahrar spearheaded the movement to have [[Ahmadi Muslims]] officially declared as non-Muslims.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Samina Awan, Political Islam in colonial Punjab Majlis-e-Ahrar 1929–1949, P.27, Politics of Islamic symbolism, The MAI: Politics of Personalities, Oxford University Press&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the early 1930s, the Majlis-e-Ahrar-e-Islam (hereafter called Ahrars) had become an important [[political party]] of [[Muslims]] in the [[Punjab]]. The activists&#039; agitation centered on the princely states, and was predicated on mobilisation around socio-religious issues. Besides these campaigns, the Ahrar also participated in the mainstream political developments of British India between 1931 and 1947. Its political career can be divided into two parts; the AHRAR&#039;s response to political and constitutional issues, and its performance in electoral politics.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Samina Awan, &#039;&#039;Political Islam in colonial Punjab Majlis-e-Ahrar 1929–1949&#039;&#039;, P.67, Politics of Islamic symbolism, The MAI: Politics of Personalities, Oxford University Press&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Majlis-e-Ahrar-ul-Islam [[Opposition to the partition of India|stood strongly against the partition of India]], with its leader Afzal Haq stating that the &amp;quot;Partition of India is, in fact, the cry of upper classes …. It is not a communal demand as some people think but a stunt in order that the poor classes may not concentrate their thought and energies on all important questions of social and economic justice.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Ali2017&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |last1=Ali |first1=Afsar |title=Partition of India and Patriotism of Indian Muslims |url=http://www.milligazette.com/news/15756-partition-of-india-and-patriotism-of-indian-muslims |work=[[The Milli Gazette]] |date=17 July 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; It was a member of the [[All India Azad Muslim Conference]], which gathered to show support for a united India.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;QasmiRobb2017&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite book |last1=Qasmi |first1=Ali Usman |last2=Robb |first2=Megan Eaton |title=Muslims against the Muslim League: Critiques of the Idea of Pakistan |date=2017 |publisher=Cambridge University Press |isbn=9781108621236 |page=2 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Activism in Pakistan ===&lt;br /&gt;
In November 2012, the Government of Pakistan banned Abdul Latif Khalid Cheema, leader of Tehreek-e-Khatme Nabuwwat and Secretary General of Majlis-e-Ahrar-e-Islam, from delivering a speech in the [[Chichawatni]] and district [[Sahiwal]] area due to the security situation in [[Muharram]].&lt;br /&gt;
The president of Majlis-e-Ahrar [[Syed Ata-ul-Muhaimin Bukhari]] was also banned from delivering any speeches for three months in [[Multan]].{{citation needed|date=March 2020}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Pakistan, the party opposed the [[Ahmadiyya Movement]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book | first=Kalim | last=Bahadur | title=Democracy in Pakistan: crises and conflicts | page=176 | publisher=Har Anand Publications | year=1998}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://herald.dawn.com/news/1398687 The early champions of anti-Ahmadi cause] Herald (Dawn Group of Newspapers), Published 3 November 2018, Retrieved 19 December 2018&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; This culminated in the [[1953 Lahore riots]]; in 1954 Majlis-e-Ahrar was banned. The associated Islamist religious movement Tehreek-e-Khatme Nabuwwat remains.{{citation needed|date=March 2020}}&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Origin and history ==&lt;br /&gt;
The All India Muslim Majlis-e-Mushawarat (AIMMM), an apex forum of Muslim organizations and institutions of national eminence along with some well-known personalities, was established at a representative meeting of the community leaders held on 8–9 August 1964 at Dar-ul-Uloom Nadwatul Ulama, Lucknow, inaugurated by [[Abul Hasan Ali Nadwi]] and chaired by Syed Mahmood. Apart from them, Atiqur Rahman Usmani, Abul Lais Islahi, [[Qari Muhammad Tayyib]], Kalb-e- Abid, [[Sayyid Minatullah Rahmani]], Mohammad Muslim, Maulana Jan Mohammad and Ebrahim Sulaiman Seth played the key role.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=http://mushawarat.com/|title=Muslim Majlis-e-Mushawarat {{!}} The only confederation of Indian Muslim Institutions|website=mushawarat.com|access-date=2017-08-03}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
