Mustafa 'Abd al-Raziq
Shaykh Mustafa 'Abd al-Raziq (1885 – 15 February 1947) was an Egyptian Islamic philosopher.[1]
'Abd al-Raziq succeeded Mustafa al-Maraghi as rector of al-Azhar. His appointment encountered resistance, since he was not a member of the Council of Supreme ulama: King Farouk pressured for the law to be altered to allow him to assume office.[2]
A follower of Muhammad Abduh, 'Abd al-Raziq wanted "to prove the compatibility of traditional Islamic philosophy with the rationalism of modern thought".[3]
