Published in 2024 in the collective volume Théologies musulmanes du pluralisme religieux (ed. Emmanuel Pisani, Éditions du Cerf, proceedings of the ISTR symposium of 20-21 November 2021, pp. 65-88), this chapter by Youssouf T. Sangaré presents the thought of ʿAbd al-Mutaʿāl al-Ṣaʿīdī (1894-1971), a reformist figure associated with al-Azhar.
