Context and Historical Background
In 1925, the Islamic world is in turmoil due to Mustapha Kemal Atatürk's proposal to abolish the caliphate in Turkey. This period of political unrest brings the relationship between Islam and governance back into focus, while traditional power structures disappear under pressure from European powers and many Muslim countries lose their sovereignty.
Ali Abdel Razek's Contribution
Ali Abdel Razek, a religious scholar trained at Al-Azhar University, participates in this debate with his essay 'Islam and the Foundations of Political Power'. In it, he advocates for secularism. This is the first Dutch translation of his work.
