PREFACE

 

The need of presenting to public an unbiased history of Islam has ever been felt. It is particularly so in our times when vested interests are projecting a  hateful picture of Muslim regimes, and thereby giving an abhorrent account of Islam itself.

 

This Research Institute has put up an effort to describe the basic tenets of Islam, its growth into an empire, and its contributions to sciences and industries when Europe lay prostrate, too, are discussed.

 

A psycho-social analysis is also made to explain why certain hypocrite tribes were opposed  to Muhammads mission, while countless masses of Yemen, Hijaz, Lebanon & Iran  loved the prophet and his progeny passionately. It also throws light on certain religious matters which have been generally misunderstood, e.g., polygamy, divorce, slavery, etc.

 

The facts are taken from authentic sources of history and hadeeth such as Tabari, Ibn Saad, Ibn Hisham, Bokhari, Mishkaat and Tirmizi. Western writers such as Gibbon, Irving and Muir are also referred to. We hope our sincere efforts will be appreciated by readers with a scholarly trend of mind.
