Politics in Islam by Khuda Buksh
POLITICS IN ISLAM
Islamic studies now find a definite place in the education imparted by Calcutta University and the other Universities of India— all of which are in many respeats giving a lead to the world’s older seats of learning. The interest aroused will, I trust, increase as the years go by.
Yet not merely love of learning, for its own sake, but recent political events have quickened, widened, deepened this interest. There is, therefore, a need and a pressing need for a brief but exhaustive survey of the social, political and economic conditions of the Muslims under the Caliphate. Nay, the Caliphate itself calls for notice and attention. It is a subject of absorbing interest just now.
Its meaning, its significance, its historical importance, its religious bearing these require careful study. To understand the present we must know the past; for the’ present is a text, and the past is largely its interpretation. We want no political pamphlet, no controversial monograph;
but a sober, well-considered, well-weighed historical work. I can think of no such work in English; but in German there is certainly one which, in spite of the years that have passed since its publication, is still well- worthy of study and respect. It is the Statsidee des I slams in Von Kremer’s Oeschichte der herrschenden Idem des I slams.
It would be inaccurate to describe the pages lying before us as a mere translation of the Staatsidee des 1 slams, for I have incorporated into it the researches of Wellhausen, Goldziher and other English and Continental scholars. It is Von Kremer enlarged, amplified.
