Dr Shinqiti aims to show that Islam does not exhibit any deficiency in political principles, but instead provides a complete, just, and humane system of politics—and that there were historical and cultural factors that caused the divergence between principle and reality which, being understood, might be reversed. The work is ultimately, as Sheikh Rachid Ghannouchi mentions in his foreword, a book of rare combination, scope, and insight—one deeply rooted in Islamic and Arab history and tradition while also connected to other major traditions from around the world and cognizant of the present challenges that face the Muslim Ummah.
Dr Mohamed El-Moctar al-Shinqiti is a prominent political activist, author, and academic. He holds the position of Associate Professor of Political Ethics and the History of Religion at Hamad Bin Khalifa University, Qatar. With a broad academic background encompassing religious sciences (fiqh) and social sciences (translation studies, business administration, history of religion), al-Shinqiti brings a unique perspective to his work. He is a regular contributor to Al Jazeera, having penned over 400 articles, where he often expresses strong criticism of Arab regimes and explores topics like the Arab Spring, the Muslim world, and Islamic modernism.
