Mustafa 'Abd al-Raziq

Shaykh Mustafa Abd al-Rizq (Arabic: مصطفى عبد الرازق‎) (1885 – 15 February 1947) was an Egyptian Islamic philosopher.^[1] He was born in Abu Jirj, Minya Governorate.

Abd al-Rizq 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-Rizq wanted "to prove the compatibility of traditional Islamic philosophy with the rationalism of modern thought".^[3]

His brother, Ali Abdel Raziq, was an Egyptian scholar of Islam, religious judge and government minister.^[4]
