Coming January 2026, 𝗥𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝘀: 𝗔 𝗛𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗜𝘀𝗹𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗺 by renowned scholar Wael Hallaq dismantles two centuries of Orientalist scholarship that denied Islam a constitutional tradition. Premodern Islamic political practice has long been mistranslated, misinterpreted, and condescendingly judged through colonial eyes —declared inferior to the norms of Western liberalism. In this bold and paradigm-shifting work, Hallaq sets the record straight.

Haunted by its own legacy of absolutist monarchies, Europe projected its fears onto Islam, seeing in it the very despotism it sought to escape. But by engaging Islamic governance through its own internal logic and tradition of reason, Hallaq reveals a strikingly different story —one in which premodern Islam developed a deeply rooted constitutional vision, built from the moral agency of the individual to the restrained powers of executive authority.
