Hasan al-Turabi (1932-2016) was born into a Sudanese family with a
clerical and Sufi history. Whilst studying law at the University of
Khartoum, he became a leader of the Islamic student movement. After
earning bachelor's and master's degrees from the University of
London, he achieved a PhD at the University of Sorbonne in 1964.
Upon returning to Sudan to pursue an academic career at the
University of Khartoum, he soon became one of the leaders of the
Islamic National Front. After being imprisoned for nearly seven
years, he went on to hold numerous government posts, culminating in
his most influential period during the rule of 'Umar al-Bashir. He
ultimately fell out of favour with the government, and faced trials
and imprisonment. The Political Thought of Hasan al-Turabi
identifies Turabi as arguably the leading Sudanese Islamic
political thinker and activist of recent times, and sets out the
main influences upon Turabi's thought. Yet it is demonstrated that
Turabi was an original thinker, who digested but then adapted the
thought of his predecessors. Whilst his political goal was to
politically unite the Islamic world, he also strove to improve
relations with the non-Muslim world. Furthermore, his political
thought sought to unite the Muslims and non-Muslims of Sudan in a
peaceful unity, whilst working to raise the status of the poor and
women.
