Abstract
The article deals with the religio-philosophical conception of Ismail Raji al-Faruqi (1921–1986) — Palestinian-American researcher, one of the founders of Islamic Studies in the USA. Emphasis in this article was made on his views on the essence of Islam as “meta-religion”. Author analyses the evolution of his ideas and his views on the specificity of Islam, the Tawhid, the problem of free will and predestination, the mission of Muslim, the Islamic Word-Order etc. Author concludes that it is difficult to associate al-Faruqi with particular direction of Islamic thought and that his views in general can be characterized as a synthesis of Salafism and Neomodernism.

Summary
Что творчество ал-Фаруки трудно причислить к какому-либо конкретному направлению исламской мысли, а его идеи в целом могут быть охарактеризованы как синтез салафизма и неомодернизма. Поскольку его суть заключается в том, чтобы «стремиться вылепить из глины мира и человека то, чем они должны быть»1.
