Islamic Political Philosophy: With Special Focus on Shah Wali Allah & Mawdudi

The political philosophy of Islam is always a subject of controversy. This book examines discourses of Islamic political philosophy in the Indian subcontinent. Abu al-Ala Mawdudi is regarded as the originator of the idea that Islam should play a central role in the political system. This work investigates whether Shah Wali Allah Dehlawi has similarly applied Islamic principles in the political realm.
