Born in a village near Tripoli in present-day Lebanon, he was renowned for his founding of \u003ci\u003eAl-Manar\u003c\/i\u003e, an independent and successful Islamic magazine in which he published \u003ci\u003eThe Caliphate or Supreme Imamate\u003c\/i\u003e as a series beginning in 1922. The work showcased Rida's faith in the Islamic tradition as the origin of notions such as self-determination and popular sovereignty, as well as his opposition to Western politics. A realist, he nevertheless argued that a revived Caliphate was viable and held the keys to Muslim empowerment and universal salvation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This skillful translation by Simon A.
