Abstract
Syed Ahmad Shaheed’s Jihad Movement is an important episode of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s history. It played the role of fore-runner of Pakistan Movement in Indian subcontinent. This movement became the source of inspiration to Muslims of India in their struggle for preservation of Muslim culture, protection of their separate identity and establishment of an independent Islamic state in this region of the World. Those Muslims who later struggled for Pakistan saw Syed Ahmad and his followers as role-models fighting bravely against domination of nonMuslim rule and scarifying their lives for the cause of Islam. This study aims to critically examine objectives of Jihad Movement, its achievements and failures and role of people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in it. Study will contribute significantly to understand problems and prospects of Islamization in this region.
