The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between Islam and politics in the thought of Muhammad 'Abduh. In this study, I have come to some conclusions. First, the tension between two kinds of laws, namely Qanun and Shari'a was very clearly awared in his thought. Second, young 'Abduh believed in a harmony between Qanun and Shari'a in the age of ‘Orabi’s Revolution. Third, he tried to overcome the contradiction between Qantn and Shari'a in his activities during the reign of Khedive 'Abbas II, but he could not succeed in moulding the comprehensive belief-system.
