Free Islam Ebooks To Download
Fazlur Rahman's Islam is aptly titled in that this audiobook constitutes an incisive and surprisingly comprehensive history and analysis of Islam - its history, its conflicts, its legacy, and its prospects. From Mohammed to the late 20th century, Rahman traces the development of Islam as a religion and, more importantly, as an intellectual tradition, offering both an easily understood introduction to the faith and an impassioned argument for its future direction. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Fazlur Rahman Malik (1919-1988) was a well-known scholar of Islam, who has written many other books such as "Islam and Modernity: Transformation of an Intellectual Tradition," "Major Themes of the Qur'an," "Islamic Methodology in History," "Health and Medicine in the Islamic Tradition," etc. At the time of the First Edition (1966) of this book, he was Director of the Islamic Research Institute in Pakistan and a member of that government's Advisory Council of Islamic Ideology.He wrote in the Preface to the First Edition, "This book seeks to give the reader the general development of Islam throughout the approximately fourteen centuries of its existence. It is, therefore, primarily informative. But since it aims at presenting, as far as possible, a coherent and meaningful narrative rather than a series of disjointed descriptions of seemingly isolated phenomena or aspects of the development of Islam, the work had to become interpretative in character and could not remain just informative. Indeed ... the book assumes ... that the reader is already acquainted with some of the general literature on Islam that already exists in English."Here are some additional quotations from the book:"That a God to whom it is, in the final analysis, indifferent whether He is effective in history or not is certainly not the God of Muhammad and the Qur'an." (Pg. 13-14)"While the Qur'an had, since a very early date, accepted Jesus as God's Prophet, it has also rejectd, again fairly early in Mecca, the claim of the divinity of Jesus." (Pg. 20)"(Orthodoxy) lacked the intellectual capacity to say both that the Qur'an is entirely the Word of God and, in an ordinary sense, also entirely the word of Muhammad.
