The objective of the revolution was to be justice (adl") and benevolence ("ihsan"), but the injustice and wrong to be overcome that he focused on was immorality ("fahsha) and forbidden behavior ("munkarat"). Maududi was interested in ethical changes, rather than socio-economic changes of the sort that drive most historical revolutions and revolutionary movements. He did not support these (for example, opposing land reform in the 1950s as an encroachment on property rights) and believed the problems they addressed would be solved by the Islamic state established by the revolution.
