In this paper, I have attempted to investigate the political thought of Rashid Rida (1865-1935) in the 1920's. Rashid Rida is known as a famous salafiyya reformer. His main concern in his political activity was maintaining the political independence of Islam. After the breakdown of the Ottoman Empire, he sought his ideal political order in Husain's Kingdom of the Hijaz in the Arabian Peninsula. But, when Ibn Su'ud conquered the Hijaz, he considered the newly established Ibn Su'ud's kingdom as the state which best represented the political independence of Islam.
