Broadly speaking, the consonants not mentioned below have the same value as in the leading European languages. Otherwise (fol lowing the order of the A rabic alphabet): The elision of alif () and the hamza (f) are expressed by an apostrophe, e.g. rasulu llah, nisa .th di,) =E nglish th in thing. h(p,) =a modified, deep guttural h. kh () =ch in loch. dh (3) =th in the. (I nP ersia and India read as z.) ?((j )~ modified s. (yi) =modified z. The A rabic letter am (c), being unpronounceable byE uropeans, is rendered by an inverted apostrophe, e.g. sharl ah. gh (c) =a voiced kh, something like the French r, grasseye. tand z(L Jo) =modified and .q (jj) =a deep guttural sound. The long vowels in A rabic are :A lif () =a; waw () =u ;and 2% () =I (continental value in each case). The corresponding short vowels are rendered a, u, and i (unmarked). The first two in some dialects are pronounced eand 6: hence such differences as Muhammad and Mohammed; Qur an and Koran.

Contents Preface Introduction The teaching of the Quran 1 The doctrine of God 2 The doctrine of revelation 3 The doctrine of judgment 4 The doctrine of salvation 5 The law of life 6 Attitude to other faiths Subject index Serial list of Surahs Dates connected with the Quran Table of verses BibliographyThis book is intended to present the body of religious and moral teaching contained in the Quran itself apart from the Traditions which form the second main basis of the Moslem faith The need for it has been impressed upon me during several years in which I have had frequent opportunities of lecturing on Outlines of Islam During the last hundred years Islam has increasingly come into contact with other faiths no longer as the religion of rulers who for a millennium enforced its observance by the sanctions of civil and criminal law but as one faith tolerated and protected in its exercise side by side with others Faced by the life and thought of a new age Islam is struggling with the difficult task of adjusting its early medievalism to the demands of a modern world Naturally the tendency of progressive Moslems has been to recur to the one sacred volume as the sole genuine expression of faith and practice incumbent on the true Muslim To serve as a practical help in this direction is the object of this little manual The author ventures to offer it because to his knowledge there was no book in English that gave a comprehensive sketch of Quranic theology or an all-round subject index The book has remained a standard source of reference for a long time among students and scholars alike 136 pp. N° de réf. du vendeur 98138
