In this commentary, I pose a question regarding how critical geographers will position themselves toward Islam as a different mode of decolonising (or something beyond it) that is fundamentally different from mainstream critical geography. To build this argument, I first expand on Sidaway's account of how one should understand Islam and its consequences. I then argue that critical geography is an extension of a secularisation project whose presuppositions negate the Islamic worldview. To conclude, I reflect on my engagement with critical geography as a Muslim and lay out some questions to be considered by critical geographers
