Notes on Islam (Classic Reprint)

Notes were enclosed by the author in his weekly letters to his brother and sons who were students in the Universities of Cambridge, Edinburgh and Birmingham. I persuaded him to allow me to have them printed, as I thought they were suggestive and useful. He has however desired me to say that they should not be regarded as anything but concise memoranda jotted down (at short intervals between the busy hours of his official life) as general answers to questions put to him. They contain some passages which are too concise or abstract, if not vague or enigmatic. But, the author says, he left them designedly so in order to induce his readers to try to understand them or at least to seek explanation and illustration. Numerous foot-notes have been added for the same purpose. He frankly admits that his view of I slam is neither quite orthodox nor quite heterodox but something midway between the two. It was put forward in order to make Ms boys think for themselves and argue with him. The first three Notes may be skipped at the first reading. Sincere acknowledgments are due toN awabI mad-ulM ulk Bahadur Bilgrami, G.S.I,, Mr. J. C.
