The Political Interpretation of Islam
The Political Interpretation of Islam offers a clear, thought-provoking examination of how Islam has been understood in political terms and the consequences of that understanding. Drawing on theological insights and contemporary reflection, Maulana Wahiduddin Khan argues that when politics takes centre stage in interpreting Islam, the faith’s spiritual and ethical foundations can become distorted and misrepresented.
In this concise book, Khan critiques the views of influential thinkers such as Maulana Abul Ala Maududi — whose writings advocate for a political interpretation in which Muslims are seen as having a duty to establish Islamic law through political power. According to Khan, this approach has been a source of misunderstanding and conflict in the modern world because it shifts the focus away from Islam’s core moral and spiritual teachings.
Khan explains that Islam, in its original revelation, prioritises personal faith, ethical conduct, and peaceful coexistence, and that politics should not override these central tenets. Through accessible language and clear argumentation, the book encourages readers to reflect on how Islam relates to society, governance, and human responsibility without reducing the religion to a political ideology.
Ideal for students, scholars, and general readers alike, The Political Interpretation of Islam challenges readers to reconsider common assumptions about religion and politics in the contemporary world.

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source.
There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which don't look even slightly believable.
All the Lorem Ipsum generators on the Internet tend to repeat predefined chunks as necessary, making this the first true generator on the Internet. It uses a dictionary of over 200 Latin words, combined with a handful of model sentence structures, to generate Lorem Ipsum which looks reasonable. The generated Lorem Ipsum is therefore always free from repetition, injected humour, or non-characteristic words etc
