Dr. Fazlur Rahman Malik, a renowned Islamic scholar, was a towering figure in the Ayub Khan regime (1958-69). After obtaining a degree in Arabic from Lahore’s Punjab University and then studying Islamic history at the UK’s Oxford University, Rahman established himself as a lecturer of Islamic philosophy at Canada’s McGill University. In 1961, he was invited by the Ayub regime to work in Pakistan. Rahman assisted Ayub in forming the Islamic Research Institute (IRI) in Islamabad. Under Rahman’s leadership, the IRI produced numerous scholarly papers between 1961 and 1967, which rationalized the Ayub regime’s various economic and social reforms through a modernist reading of Islam’s sacred texts.
