'Secularism' is the belief that society were best arranged such that religion were given no sort of special status or authority, so that (for example) the dreams of one of my shepherd ancestors attributed to their chief god would not (absent anything else) be treated by unembarrassed adults as acceptable evidence in a court of law or a good basis for legislation.

'Secularisation' is the process of secularism's becoming significantly more important in society.

Note that neither implies or urges the persecution of religion, but some of a religious bent consider secularisation to be persecution to the extent that it strips from religion---or, more usually, their particular faith---privileges previously enjoyed but which a secularist would consider undue, much as a deposed king might consider it persecution to civil rights merely equal to those enjoyed by any other citizen.

In short

Secularisation is the transformation of a society from close identification with religious values

What are the differences between Islamic political philosophy and Modern political philosophy?

Maybe the all of the dfferences come back to secularization and the relation between religion and world. In Islamic political philosophy, there is an emphasis on the role of religious authorities and on the succession of government according to Divine Laws and Religion. However, in Western political philosophy, since there is seculrization between religion and world, secularism becomes the foundation for these philosophies, albeit not all of them, but most of them, presupposing such a theme. In better words, the difference between them stems from the interference of religion in worldy affairs like government.
