The Faith of Islam

by Edward Sell

Islam or the religion of the flowers of prophet Muhammad is one of the living faiths of the world. It is held by the Muslims that their Prophet did not propound the religion what he recieved through revelations from God, which are now recorded in the Quran. The adherents of Islam also believe that their religion is not merely a creed or a mode of worship, but the way to a fullfledged ideal life. The author has dealt with, in well organized chapters topics like the foundations of the faith, the compositon of the sacred literature and its interprettions the creeds, religious duties enjoined on the faithful, and fasts and feasts. A full chapterhas been devoted to the origin and development of various sects of Islam and the points of difference among them have been carefully analysed. The work may serve as a guide for further research.
