The purpose of this book is to help readers understand the different streams within contemporary Muslim political thought. Each essay in this book explores the work of a key twentieth-century Islamic thinker whose influence stretches beyond his home country. Many of these figures are still active, and their thought continues to affect thousands of Muslims. The choice of a specific time frame should not indicate any discontinuity in the intellectual stream within Muslim societies. In fact, we see the evolution of Muslim political thought as a continuous process that in a few cases manifests a clear organic connection. For example, one can trace a continuous path from the Islamic reformer Jamal al-Din al-Afghani (18381879) to Muhammad `Abduh (18491905), Muhammad Rashid Rida (18651935), Hassan al-Banna (19061949), and todays Muslim Brothers. Similar connections can be easily traced between generations of intellectuals in other parts of the Muslim world, not only chronologically but also across borders as certain intellectuals or movements in one country see themselves as the heirs of reformers in another.
Obviously, the context in which this discourse evolved has been extremely important. The last two centuries have been vibrant yet turbulent and unsettling. Three transformative developments had the greatest bearing on Islamic political thought: the decline of the old order and eventual collapse of the caliphate; colonial occupation and the continuation of external hegemony; and the rise of secular Muslim intellectuals and secular movements. They were accompanied by the demise of the old legal and social structures (the old order); the emergence of nation-states; increased westernization and modernization; the creation of Israel and repeated defeats and humiliations of Muslims; the rise of Islamic revival movements; globalization; and the rise of nonstate actors and resistance.
This book focuses on key Muslim intellectual figures from various schools of contemporary political Islam. Political Islam here refers to attempts by individuals, groups, and movements to reconstruct the political, economic, and social dimensions of their societies along Islamic lines, including an orientation toward shari`a and an approach to the questions of whether and how to establish an Islamic state. Given the countless number of Muslim intellectuals who have emerged over the past century and a half seeking to reform Islam from within, no single volume could hope to offer an exhaustive survey of Islamic political thought. Instead, we have chosen a selection of thinkers that is, we think, representative of the main streams in contemporary Muslim political thought and of its principal themes. We have divided those thinkers into three main categories: the founders of political Islam, revolutionary ideologues, and the intellectuals of political Islam. Hassan al-Banna and Abu al-A`la al-Mawdudi are rightly considered the forefathers of contemporary political Islam. Both reinterpreted the faith to make religion a vehicle for social and political action. This understanding became a common feature of political Islam. For al-Banna and Mawdudi the fulfillment of
