Opis

Mawlana Mawdudi was one of the most influential and important Islamic thinkers of the 20th century. His brand of political Islam has won widespread acceptance in South and South East Asia as well as the Middle East. This book is the first to critically engage and assess his career and legacy. It includes coverage of his early life and influences, and examines his considerable influence in the contemporary Islamic world.
