Born in a village near Tripoli in present-day Lebanon, he was renowned for his founding of \u003ci\u003eAl-Manar\u003c\/i\u003e, an independent and successful Islamic magazine in which he published \u003ci\u003eThe Caliphate or Supreme Imamate\u003c\/i\u003e as a series beginning in 1922. The work showcased Rida’s faith in the Islamic tradition as the origin of notions such as self-determination and popular sovereignty, as well as his opposition to Western politics. A realist, he nevertheless argued that a revived Caliphate was viable and held the keys to Muslim empowerment and universal salvation.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e This skillful translation by Simon A. Wood will make \u003ci\u003eThe Caliphate or Supreme Imamate\u003c\/i\u003e accessible for the first time to English-speaking scholars and students of political theory and the modern Middle East.","brand":"Yale University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49723413659992,"sku":"9780300187298","price":49.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780300187298_298ea24d-b8dc-4841-ba86-8b53cd1e382f.jpg?v=1780973138","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/the-caliphate-or-supreme-imamate","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
