9781330254660: The Preaching of Islam: A History of the Propagation of the Muslim Faith (Classic Reprint)

Synopsis

A historical look at how Islam spread through missionary effort across diverse lands.

This volume presents a careful, neutral account of Islamic preaching as a driving force in conversion and cultural exchange. It centers on the idea that the Qur’an enjoins preaching and persuasion, while violence is described as not the method of conversion. The work surveys how Muslim outreach operated among Christians and other communities, with attention to political and social contexts that aided or hindered acceptance.

The book traces the spread of Islam across regions from Western Asia to Africa, Europe, Persia, Central Asia, India, and China. It emphasizes missionary activity, trade networks, and scholarly influence as ways Islam reached new populations. The narrative also covers how rulers and local powers treated converts, how jizyah and other practices shaped social life, and how different communities responded over time.

Ideal for readers of history and religious studies who want a broad, documentary view of Islamic outreach through the centuries.

Présentation de l'éditeur

It is with considerable diffidence that I publish these pages :the subject with which they deal is so vast, and I have had to prosecute it under circumstances so disadvantageous, that I can hope but for small measure of success. When I may be better equipped for the task, and after further study has enabled me to fill up the gaps1 left in the present work, I hope to make it a more worthy contribution to this neglected department of Muhammadan history ;and to this end I shall be deeply grateful for the criticisms and corrections of any scholars who may deign to notice the book. To such I would say in the words of St. Augustine :Q ui hsec legens dicit, intelligo quidem quid dictum sit, sed non vere dictum est; asserat ut placet sententiam suam, et redarguat meam, si potest. Quod si cum caritate et veritate fecerit, mihique etiam (si in hac vita maneo) cognoscendum facere curaverit, uberrimum fructum laboris huius mei cepero. 3A sI can neither claim to be an authority nora specialist on any of the periods of history dealt with in this book, and as many of the events referred to therein have become matter for controversy, I have given full references to the sources consulted ;and here I have thought it better to err on the side of excess rather than that of defect. I have myself suffered so much inconvenience 1E.g. The spread of I slam inS icily and the missionary labours of the numerous Muslim saints. 2D eT rinitate, i. 5. (M igne, tom. xlii. p. 823.
