This article explores the engagement of the Pakistani Jamaʿat-i Islami (JI) with the Iranian Revolution. I argue that the Islamist JI was drawn to the events because it reflected a core concern and signature idea of Abu ’l-Aʿla Maududi, namely to establish the sovereignty of God (hakimiyya) on earth. My analysis of various travelogues and JI publications from the 1980s demonstrates that JI observers were deeply familiar with internal revolutionary dynamics and Iran's Shiʿi identity. The prospect of seeing a proper Islamic system in action, with potentially global consequences for their cause, initially crowded out any sectarian concerns for the JI. At the same time, certain JI leaders began to voice criticism of what they perceived as rash revolutionary policies that differed from Maududi's careful, irenic understanding of a proper Islamic revolution. They also took note of sectarian messages that damaged Iran's ecumenical outreach. It was, however, the more general geopolitical climate in the Middle East and South Asia which forced the JI to publicly downplay its ties with Iran. By the late 1980s, being accused of harbouring affinities for the ‘deviant Islam’ of Shiʿism was a charge that had to be avoided at all costs in Pakistan and beyond.

本文探讨了巴基斯坦 Jamaʿat-i Islami (JI) 与伊朗革命的关系。我认为，伊斯兰宗教信仰者被这些事件所吸引是因为它反映了 Abu 'l-Aʿla Maududi 的核心关注和标志性思想，即建立上帝的主权（hakimiyya） 在地球上。我对 1980 年代各种游记和 JI 出版物的分析表明，JI 观察员对内部革命动态和伊朗什叶派身份非常熟悉。看到一个适当的伊斯兰制度在行动中的前景，并对其事业产生潜在的全球影响，最初排除了对 JI 的任何宗派担忧。与此同时，某些伊斯兰革命卫队领导人开始批评他们认为轻率的革命政策，这与莫杜迪对适当的伊斯兰革命的谨慎、冷漠的理解不同。他们还注意到破坏伊朗普世宣教的宗派信息。然而，中东和南亚更为普遍的地缘政治气候迫使伊斯兰祈祷团公开淡化与伊朗的关系。到 1980 年代后期，
