Political Thought of Muhammad Ahmad Khalafallah

Muhammad Ahmad Khalafallah is one of the contemporary Egyptian thinkers who presented his literary and political findings from the Holy Quran in Egyptian scientific and academic circles in the 20th century. This research seeks to answer the question of what Islam means and what kind of relationship exists between religion and state from Khalafallah’s point of view with a descriptive-analytical method. Findings of the research suggest that Khalafallah has interpreted Islam in two concepts, one as a religion and the other as a political and tribal territory, and he has emphasized the separation of the realm of religion and state from each other in his works and writings.
