The debate over Islam and politics re-ignites as traditional political systems dissolve under pressure from European powers and most Muslim countries lose their sovereignty. Into this debate enters Ali Abdel Razek, a religious cleric trained at Al-Azhar University, arguing in favour of secularism in his essay 'Islam and the Foundations of Political Power', translated here for the first time. Scholarly features includeA substantial introduction that places the essay in its context and explains its impactAn appendix of Razek’s sources with full publication detailsExplanatory notes beside Razek’s original footnotesAdditional notes about particular people, events or vocabulary that may be unfamiliar to modern readers"
