On the conveyor belt of history, begin at the beginning and keep going straight

Kalim Siddiqui

Dhu al-Qa'dah 12, 14161996-04-01

Occasional Paper

Processes of error, deviation, correction and convergence in Muslim political thought

Kalim Siddiqui

Jumada' al-Ula' 22, 14091989-01-01

This paper outlines Dr Siddiqui’s understanding of Muslim history, developed over several decades, which are the essence of his political ideas. For Muslims struggling everywhere to change the political and social problems confronting us, this paper offers exciting insights and ideas, and suggestions for conceptualizing the problems facing us. It is especially useful for those in the 'Sunni' part of the Ummah, as it places the Islamic Revolution in Iran in the broader context of Islamic history and enables its essence to be understood outside the Shi’i context of Iran’s particular experience.

Modern Islamic Political Thought

Hamid Enayat

Sha'ban 11, 14021982-06-03

In the aftermath of the triumph of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, publications on Islam and politics began to flood the academic and pseudo-academic book market in the West.

Hamid Enayat's Modern Islamic Political Thought, first published in 1982, at once distinguished itself from its mass of turgid competitors . It was the fruit not of a sudden adjustment of focus but of a longstanding interest, of prolonged reflection, rich and varied experience, and real erudition.
