Islam, as a philosophy, a way of life and of course as a faith, has served like a lighthouse for the whole world. It has, as a force, influenced all civilizations. Be it education, social fabric or science, Islam has left its impact in all the spheres. In fact, Islam is basically a scientific and progressive religion.
This book is based on authentic sources and material, available in libraries, institutes and some private collections, as well. A rich bibliography, along with references is provided with each volume to prove the authenticity of the work and in order to guide the scholars and readers for further studies. This modest work should prove to be of worth for those, who are kind enough to peruse it and may desire to make use of it for their academic enrichment.
Hopefully, this book would be able to satisfy the urge of all those who desire to know about real Islam and also to create a new awareness, regarding this religion, as a radical discipline, based on reason and opposed to fundamentalism and dogmatism. Though, a small effort, yet its rational treatment and radical approach make it different from other works on the same or related subjects. |
