Originally published in 1952, al-Din, by prominent Egyptian scholar
Muhammad Abdullah Draz (1894-1958), has been critically acclaimed
as one of the most influential Arab Muslim studies of universal
'religion' and forms of religiosity in modern times. Written as an
introductory textbook for a course in the "History of Religions" at
King Fuad I University in Cairo-the first of its kind offered at an
Egyptian institution of higher learning-this book presents a
critical overview of classical approaches to the scholarly study of
religion. While ultimately adapted to an Islamic paradigm, the book
is a novel attempt to construct a grand narrative about the large
methodological issues of Religious Studies and the History of
Religions and in relation to modernity and secularism. Translated
for the first time in English by Yahya Haidar, this book
demonstrates how the scholarly academic study of religion in the
West, often described as 'Orientalist', came to influence and help
shape a counter-discourse from one of the leading Arab Muslim
scholars of his time.
