THE FAITH OF ISLAM

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS

"A scholarly exposition and epitome of the various tenets embraced by Islam. Nothing but praise can be said of the whole undertaking."Royal Asiatic Society's Journal, January 1897.

"Mr. Sell's learned and satisfactory work is likely, in its revised form, to retain its place for a long time to come as our highest authority on the faith and practice of Islam." — The Critical Review, January 1897.

"The importance of a book of this kind is very great. It stands to the Koran as one of Dr. Tristram's orations before the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council does to the New Testament. Mr. Sell's account of the gradual growth of the system of traditional authority, and the fruitless resistance to its paralysing influence, is deeply interesting, and will help English readers to understand more accurately the real difficulties of Islam as a State religion." — STANLEY LANE POOLE in the Academy.

"This volume gives us more valuable information about the doctrines and polity of Islam than any book of moderate size that we are acquainted with in the English Language. Mr. Sell's exposition of the principles of Islam is derived from original and authentic sources and from long intercourse with learned students and teachers of Musalman law. His deductions from these principles appear to us unanswerable, and they are in agreement with the best authorities. . . . We trust Mr. Sell's book will be widely read." — Spectator.

"His book is no compilation from other European authors. He draws almost entirely from Muhammadan authorities, and gives us the result of his own observations as to the action upon men and society of the great religion which he has set himself to study. Moreover, he has executed his task in a manner which merits, upon the whole, very great praise. . . . Its special value lies in this — that it supplies materials serviceable for comparative purposes." — St. James Gazette.

"Mr. Sell's 'Faith of Islam' is a minute exposition of the tenets and doctrines of a religion which has an immense importance for Englishmen. In the work before us the practical and speculative ideas of Muhammadanism are so fairly and clearly discussed, and every detail of observance and doctrine so plainly set forth, that a diligent study of it will place the reader quite au courant with the ideas of Moslem theologians." — Saturday Review.

"Mr. Sell has supplied us with a very valuable and interesting hand-book, enabling us to understand what Muhammadanism in India really is." — British Quarterly Review.

PRINTED AT THE S. P. C. K. PRESS, VEPERY, MADRAS — 1907.
