The freedom from conflict that Flores suggests with the notion of ``immanent secularity'' in the course of the emergence of hadith scholarship is put into perspective by a conflict-sociological recourse to the Mihna (833 to 851 / 852 CE), the so-called Islamic Inquisition at the height of the Abbasid Empire, which illustrates the struggle for politico-religious authority. In a next step, the ``narrowing'' of the debate on secularism in (post-)colonial Egypt from the beginning to the end of the 20th century described by Flores is outlined and complemented by Talal Asad's analysis ``Formations of the Secular''. The latter's approach became popular in a context marked by the decline of Marxism and political economy. The paper concludes with methodological reflections on the secular as a tertium comparationis in historical comparison from a Marxist perspective. The challenge consists in to neither authenticate the religious tradition nor to adopt the perspective of the liberal capitalist state. In this regard, the article undertakes a bridging between Islamic studies, socio-historical analysis, and socio-theoretical reflection.}, issn = {1869-4748}, doi = {10.17185/duepublico/81544}, url = {https://duepublico2.uni-due.de/receive/duepublico_mods_00081544}, url = {https://doi.org/10.17185/duepublico/81544}, url = {https://doi.org/10.17185/duepublico/81531}, url = {https://doi.org/10.17185/duepublico/19418}, file = {:https://duepublico2.uni-due.de/servlets/MCRFileNodeServlet/duepublico_derivate_00081061/08_Freise_Hypothek_Saekularismus_SGO_36_2024.pdf:PDF}, language = {de} }
