Pan-Islamism (1908)

By Mushir Hosain Kidwai

Book Overview

Pan-Islamism is a book written by Mushir Hosain Kidwai in 1908. The book explores the concept of Pan-Islamism, which refers to the political and religious movement that seeks to unify all Muslims under a single Islamic state or caliphate. Kidwai delves into the historical roots of Pan-Islamism, tracing its origins to the early Islamic empires and the Ottoman Empire. He also examines the role of colonialism and imperialism in the decline of the Islamic world, and how Pan-Islamism emerged as a response to these external threats. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the various Pan-Islamic movements and organizations that emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including the Young Turks, the Indian Muslim League, and the Muslim Brotherhood. Kidwai also discusses the role of prominent Pan-Islamic thinkers such as Jamal al-Din al-Afghani and Muhammad Abduh. Throughout the book, Kidwai emphasizes the importance of Pan-Islamism as a means of promoting Muslim solidarity and resisting Western imperialism. He argues that the unity of the Muslim world is essential for its survival and progress, and that Pan-Islamism is the only viable solution to the challenges facing the Islamic world. Overall, Pan-Islamism is a seminal work on the history and ideology of Pan-Islamism, and remains a valuable resource for scholars and students of Islamic studies and political science.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
