Mahmoud Mohammed Taha was a Sudanese religious thinker who introduced the concept of the “Second Message of Islam”. He proposed that Medina’s Quranic verses were the foundation of Sharia law for its time, while Mecca’s verses represented an ideal religion for the future. Taha advocated for a renewed era of Islam focused on freedom and equality, to be enacted when humanity was prepared. His teachings ultimately led to his execution for apostasy at the age of 76 by the regime of Gaafar Nimeiry.
