Torrent description

Towards Understanding Islam is another of his important books. It is an elementary
study of the basic concepts and principles of I slam. It offers a simple, understandable
and unsophisticated interpretation of the meaning and message of Islam for the
ordinary reader, particularly the young. It is not written in the browbeating style of
theology books, rich in awe-inspiring jargon and legal quibbling but of little help in
bringing the reader into direct contact with the spirit of the faith.
Towards Understanding Islam is a religious text with a difference. It offers a simple
exposition of Islam; its approach to life, the articles of its faith, its worship and
prayers, and the scheme of life, which it envisages. The method of exposition is
steeped in the methodology of the Qur'an. It offers in summary form the essential
teachings of Islam. And as the book is primarily meant for lay readers and students no
attempt is made to burden the mind of the reader with difficult or philosophic
dissertations. The language and style of the author are clear, candid and rational.
Originally written in 1932 in Urdu, under the title Risalah Dmiyal, the book was
intended as a textbook for students of the higher classes and for the general public. It
served an important need and became a popular Islamic reader. Most of the schools
and colleges of the Indo-Pakistan subcontinent adopted it as a textbook in theology
and made its study a part of their curricula. It has been translated into many of the
world's languages, including English, Arabic, Hindi, Persian, German, French, Italian,
Turkish, Portuguese, Swahili, Indonesian and Japanese. Malayalam, Tamil, Pushto,
