Abstract

The writing of religious books by scholars who are involved in the process of Islamic revival in this country has become increasingly prominent recently. Datuk Seri Tuan Guru Haji Abdul Hadi Awang (DSTGHH) is an example of those who are actively documenting history to draw lessons from it. This has been done by many prominent figures in the Islamic Movement, such as Dr. Said Ramadhan al-Buti and Dr. ‘Abd al-Karim Zaydan, whose works are referred to by supporters of the Islamic Movement worldwide. As a political figure who successfully governed a state and held important positions in the national cabinet, and who was once appointed as the Deputy President of the International Union of Muslim Scholars and is currently appointed as the Prime Minister's Special Envoy to the Middle East, Datuk Seri Tuan Guru Haji Abdul Hadi Awang can be seen as a qualified figure to write about the politics of the Islamic world. Holding a master's degree in Islamic Political Science (Siyasah Syariyyah) from Al-Azhar University in Egypt, and having been called upon to resolve conflicts in Yemen, Aceh, Bosnia, and Afghanistan, he tries to apply as much theoretical knowledge as possible from his field and his experience as an expert in the politics of the Islamic world.
