Post-Islamism at Large
One should not rule out, at least in the short run, the
possibility of religious resurgence by social forces that for
years had been suppressed by secular undemocratic regimes.
In fact, the removal of autocracies opens the social and
political fields for all sorts of ideas and movements—
regressive, progressive, religious, or secular—to emerge. The
unexpected visibility of Salafi groups in the societies involved
in the Arab Spring has caused genuine concern about the
erosion of individual liberties, artistic expression, and gender
rights. In such volatile times of realliance and renewal, there
is no guarantee that a democratic order will come to life. It all
depends on the intense and incessant struggles for hegemony
among the innumerable political forces—known and unknown,
old and new—that revolutions tend to release; it depends also
on how the remnants of the defeated regimes and their
domestic and foreign allies will behave.

Islamism
But how do we understand “Islamism”? I take Islamism to
refer to those ideologies and movements that strive to
establish some kind of an “Islamic order”—a religious state,
shari‘a law, and moral codes in Muslim societies and
communities. Association with the state is a key feature of
Islamist politics—one that differentiates it from such
religiously inspired but apolitical collectives as the Jama‘at-i
Tabliq-i Islami, a broad transnational movement that is not
interested in holding governmental power but is involved in a
missionary movement of spiritual awakening among Muslims.
The primary concern of Islamism is to forge an ideological
community; concerns such as establishing social justice and
improving the lives of the poor are to follow only from this
strategic objective.3

Post-Islamism at Large
Global events since the late 1990s (the Balkan ethnic wars, the
Russian domination of Chechnya, the Israeli reoccupation of
the West Bank and Gaza under Likud, and the post-9/11 anti-
Islamic sentiments in the West) created among Muslims a
sense of insecurity and feeling of siege. This in turn
heightened their sense of religious identity and communal
bonds, generating a new trend of “active piety,” a sort of
missionary tendency quite distinct from the highly organized
“apolitical” Islam of the Tablighi movement in being quite

What Is Post-Islamism?
In 1995, I happened to write an essay entitled “The Coming of
a Post-Islamist Society” (published in 1996)7 in which I
discussed the articulation of the remarkable social trends,
political perspectives, and religious thought that post-
Khomeini Iran had begun to witness—a trend that eventually
came to embody the “reform movement” of the late 1990s. My
tentative essay dealt only with societal trends, for there was
little at the governmental level that I could consider “post-
Islamist.” Indeed, as originally used, post-Islamism pertained
only to the realities of the Islamic Republic of Iran and not to
other settings and societies. Yet the core spirit of the term
referred to the metamorphosis of Islamism (in ideas,
approaches, and practices) from within and without.

Post-Islamism at Large
(p.9) In Iran, the end of the war with Iraq (1988), the death
of Ayatollah Khomeini (1989), and the program of postwar
reconstruction under President Rafsanjani marked the onset of
what I have called “post-Islamism.” As a master movement,
Iran’s post-Islamism was embodied in remarkable social and
intellectual trends and movements—expressed in religiously
innovative discourses by youths, students, women, and
religious intellectuals, who demanded democracy, individual
rights, tolerance, and gender equality as well as the separation
of religion from the state. Yet they refused to throw away
religious sensibilities altogether. The daily resistance and
struggles of ordinary actors compelled religious thinkers,
spiritual elites, and political actors to undertake a crucial
paradigmatic shift. Scores of old Islamist revolutionaries
renounced their earlier ideas, lamenting the danger of a

Post-Islamism at Large
Change in Ambivalence
In some ways, postrevolutionary Egypt after Mubarak
resembles post-Suharto Indonesia. As in Indonesia, Islamic
parties in Egypt have become more visible and vocal, already
controlling the first post-Mubarak parliament. Does the
Indonesian path reflect the possible future for Egypt’s
Islamism, especially its Muslim Brothers, now that electoral
democracy may facilitate its ascendancy? The trajectory of
Egypt’s Islamism might give us some clue. When in September
2011 in Cairo Tayyib Erdogan wished that Egypt would adopt
not a religious but a secular state, some Muslim Brothers
leaders showed disquiet, while others, notably the youth,
expressed enthusiasm. Such duality in views reflects both the
ideological continuity and the discursive shift in Egypt’s
Islamism in general. At its height in the 1980s, as I elaborate
here, Egyptian Islamism consisted of a vast sector composed
of organizations, activities, and sympathies. At the core stood
the reformist MB, surrounded by militant Jihadies and al-
Jama‘a al-Islamiya, as well as Islamist students, women, and
professional associations. This Islamism espoused a
conservative moral vision, populist language, a patriarchal
disposition, and adherence to scripture. (p.16) By the early
1990s, through da‘wa and associational work, the movement
had captured a large segment of the civil society and was
moving to claim space in state institutions. Although it failed
to dislodge Egypt’s secular regime, the Islamist movement left
an enduring mark on society and the state. Overwhelmed by
the pervasive “Islamic mode,” major actors in Egyptian society,
including the intelligentsia, the new rich, al-Azhar, and the
ruling elites, converged around a language of nativism and
conservative moral ethos, severely marginalizing critical
voices, innovative religious thought, and demands for
democratic transformation.

Post-Islamism at Large
This may not be the end, however. The advent of the Arab
Spring, and the great excitement it triggered among Saudi
citizens and the fear it triggered among the rulers, revealed
the fragility of the Kingdom’s political theology. Indeed, the
news of Saudi youths, women, intellectuals, and social
activists expressing their discontent in public forums, on social
media, and in the streets reminds one of the Iran of the early
1990s, where the everyday expressions of discontent and
unorthodox lifestyles spearheaded Iran’s post-Islamist turn. A
values survey conducted in summer 2011 revealed that 71
percent of the Saudi respondents agreed that “democracy is
the best form of government,” up from 58 percent in 2003.
While some 70 percent of respondents in 2003 believed that
“shari‘a is important,” only 30 percent did so by 2011.16 As
Saudi scholar Madawi al-Rasheed reminded her readers in
February 2011, with the underside of society changing rapidly,
Saudis can indeed cause big surprises.17

Post-Islamism at Large
Post-Islamist Always?
The post-Islamist movements and trends I have discussed so
far have historically been born out of a transformation and/or
critique of some preexisting Islamist politics that dominated
Muslim societies in recent years. However, the experiences of
Sudan and Syria show that post-Islamism is not simply a
phenomenon of the new millennium. It seems to have a longer
history. In his intriguing discussion (chapter 11), Abdelwahab
(p.22) El-Affendi shows the development of certain post-
Islamist trends in Sudan long before the dominance of global
Islamism in the 1980s and 1990s. In fact, in Sudan the modern
Islamist movements (such as one led by Hasan al-Turabi)
emerged into an already existing “post-Islamist condition.” El-
Affendi traces the history of Islamism in Sudan to the late
nineteenth century, when the anticolonial Mahdi movement
declared that all tariqas and madhahib, or schools of law such
as Hanafi or Shafei or Shi‘i, were redundant because Mahdi as
the manifestation of divine authority could be readily
accessed. In El-Affendi’s view, this movement, which mobilized
the struggle against British colonial power, represented
Sudan’s Islamist revolution a century before what took place
in 1979 Iran. Mahdism, then, signified Sudan’s first full-
fledged Islamist movement. Despite its drama, the movement,
however, declined after the death of Mahdi, when his
revolutionary excess and false prophecies were exposed. The
aftermath brought disillusionment to wide segments of the
population, generating conditions in which Islam was tamed
and harnessed in favor of a more quietist and spiritual
orientation, one that rejected political theology. These post-
Mahdi conditions also caused a serious “rethinking and
remolding of revolutionary Islamic ideology so as to keep up
with the challenges posed by the colonial order and
modernization.” Thus “Mahdism” was resurrected by his last
son, Sayyid Abd el-Rahman, but in a very different “post-
Islamist” constitution. This “neo-Mahdism,” according to El-
Affendi, was the “post-Islamist movement par excellence.”

The narratives also show that the forms, depth, and spread of
post-Islamist experiences may vary. Yet they all point to some
shift in vision. In each of these cases, post-Islamism denotes a
critical discursive departure or pragmatic exit, albeit in
diverse degrees, from an Islamist ideological package
characterized broadly by monopoly of religious truth,
exclusivism, and emphasis on obligations, toward
acknowledging ambiguity, multiplicity, inclusion, and flexibility
in principles and practice.
