Islam And The Foundations Of Political Power, Ali Abdel Razek, Maryam Loutfi, Abdou Filali-Ansary Jan 2013

Islam And The Foundations Of Political Power, Ali Abdel Razek, Maryam Loutfi, Abdou Filali-Ansary

In Translation: Modern Muslim Thinkers

The publication of this essay in Egypt in 1925 took the contemporaries of Ali Abdel Razek by storm.

At a time when there was widespread turmoil over the abolition of the caliphate by Ataturk in Turkey, Ali Abdel Razek, a religious cleric trained at Al-Azhar University, argued in favour of secularism.

The abolition of the caliphate had re-ignited the question of Islam and its relationship to political power. This essay unleashed the Arab world’s first great public debate published in the press with polemics supporting or refuting Ali Abdel Razek’s ideas.
