An ideology that inspired movements around the world, affecting even the mighty Hassen al-Banna and Sayyid Qutb; a party that had branches in India, Bangladesh, Srilanka, Azad and Jammu Kashmir; was never able to win more than ten seats in the National Assembly of Pakistan. In my paper I will analyze ' the rise and fall of the Jamaat through using tools provided by social movement theory.
