## About this book

"This work is a compact introduction to the thought of Abu l-A'la Mawdudi (1903-79), a foremost-to many, the foremost-Muslim religious thinker of the twentieth century. Author of a large number of books, pamphlets, and articles, and founder of a religious-cum-political party, Mawdudi has played a major role in redefining the modern Muslim religious discourse. He wrote in various fields-Qur'anic exegesis, Hadith/Sunna, theology, law, ethics, political theory, economics, history, education-and the topics and subjects he deal with are extraordinarily wide-ranging. The focal point of his writings is that Islam is a complete, coherent, and viable system of life, and he emphasizes the importance of establishing an Islamic State in order to bring about a wholesale and enduring change in society. His works, in the original Urdu and in translation, have deeply influenced significant portions of the intelligentsia in the Islamic world"-- Provided by publisher.
