Abstract: This is a report on 126 books related to Saiyid Abū al-A‘lā Maudūdī (1903–79) included in the Aqeel Collection, a collection of more than 20, 000 books contributed to KIAS by Dr. Mu‘īn al-Dīn Aqeel, a former professor of the Department of Urdu of Karachi University, Pakistan. Maudūdī, one of the most well-known ideologues in the stream of Islamic Revivalism in the modern Muslim world, founded Jamā‘at-e Islāmī (JI), one of the largest Islamic parties in South Asia, in Lahore in 1941. His literary works, originally written in Urdu and translated into nearly 50 languages, have been in circulation not only in Pakistan and other South Asian countries but also in the Middle East, West Asia, and Southeast Asia, etc., delivering some key concepts and inspirations for the Islamic movements in those areas. This report overviews the total range ofbooks mentioned above, dividing them into (1) Maudūdī's works, (2) publications on Maudūdī and JI, and (3) others. It aims to point out characteristics of the composition of books in each category and consider their potential contributions to future research in the light of some notable features seen in and around the publication process of Maudūdī's works. One of the significant features of the publication process of Maudūdī's works is the continuous growth of the number of publications that is resourced from an enormous amount of texts left by him. Maudūdī, who started his literary career in the late 1910's as a Muslim journalist with a keen eye on social issues in British India, wrote a considerable number of journal articles throughout his life, represented by nearly 900 titles of articles published through Tarjumān al-Qur'ān, a monthly journal that he produced himself. From those accumulated journal articles nearly 300 publications have been printed, at whose core are about 50 books edited by Maudūdī himself, which are complimented by more than 100 booklets and about 110 books edited by his followers. In some of those publications, the texts have experienced remarkable revisions, additions and deletions through their long-term circulation, increasing the importance of their old editions. Besides, it is also notable that there were many publications written by critics or supporters of Maudūdī to argue the legitimacy of the logic in his works, which should also provide important perspectives in the study of Maudūdī's thoughts and influence. The 126 books dealt with in this report include some old rare editions of prominent works of Maudūdī, as well as many booklets, books edited by his followers and works of his critics and defenders. Many of them have never been in the possession of Japanese libraries before. Given the balanced composition of these books, and considering the long-term and broad circulation of Maudūdī's works in Islamic world, the Aqeel Collection is expected not only to provide helpful resources for research on Maudūdī's works, but also to add new potentialities in the future of Islamic studies in Japan.
