dc.description.abstractIn this qualitative study I have explored the contemporary rise in Islamic fundamentalism. The case of two countries are examined, Sudan and Pakistan. Islamic fundamentalism is looked at and its definition discussed, and the causes of its rise are examined. This is followed by the study of recent histories of Pakistan and Sudan, which shed light on the important events which have contributed in the Islamization of these societies. The importance of religious leaders is paramount in the rise of Islamic fundamentalism, as a majority of the practicing Muslims seek their guidance in religious matters and revere them profoundly. I have analysed the life and work of two religious leaders', Dr. Hassan Turabi of Sudan and Maulana Mawdudi of Pakistan. Also, I have conducted the discursive analysis of these two religious leaders, in order to gain better understanding of Islamic fundamentalism which has emerged with much force in recent years. The growing Islamic fundamentalism is a complex phenomenon, which spills out in multi-disciplinary directions. From a perspective of sociology, I have attempted to shed light on it but by no means make any claims.
