About
"The Faith of Islam" by Edward Sell is a scholarly work that delves into the tenets and structure of the Islamic faith, written in the late 19th century. Drawing from his extensive experience of living among Muslims in India for fifteen years, the author aims to present a comprehensive understanding of Islamic beliefs based on authentic sources. The subject matter encompasses the foundations of Islam, its primary texts, traditions, and the influence these elements exert on the lives of adherents and the societies in which they reside. At the start of the book, the author reflects on the religion of Islam, outlining its foundational concepts, primarily the Qur'an and Sunnat (the teachings and practices of the Prophet Muhammad). He emphasizes the complexities within the religion, pointing out that while the Qur'an is revered as central, it is not the sole authority; the Sunnat, Ijmá' (consensus), and Qíás (analogical reasoning) also play critical roles in interpreting Islamic doctrine a
