Summary:While much current research on political Islam revolves around militant Islamism, the genesis of this ideology remains minimally understood. This book presents an examination of the earliest attempt at a systematic outline of Islamist ideology, namely that proposed in the 1930s and early 1940s by the renowned Indo-Muslim intellectual Sayyid Abu'l-A'la Mawdudi.
