     summary: iv., p. 535, etc. (_Islâm_, iv., p. 186); also some of the accounts mentioned in Güterbock, _Der Islâm im Lichte der byzantinischen Polemik_, etc.] Two and a half centuries ago, a prominent Orientalist,[2] who wrote an exposition of Mohammed's teaching, felt himself obliged to give an elaborate justification of his undertaking in his Dedicatio. Everything maintained or invented to the disadvantage of Islâm was greedily absorbed by Europe; the picture which our forefathers in the Middle Ages formed of Mohammed's religion appears to us a malignant caricature.

     summary: It might therefore be supposed that in Islam Christian theory underwent similar modification or disappeared entirely. The course of this development was greatly influenced by Christianity, but Christian ideas had been operative upon Muhammed's eager intellectual life at an even earlier date.

     summary: The Mohammedan nations have for the most part each its separate school, composed of its own Ulema and presided over by its own Grand Mufti or Sheykh el Islam, and these are independent of all external influence. I cannot myself find any cause of despair for Mussulmans in the prospect of a curtailment of their religious area in the directions indicated, or any certain reason of exultation for their enemies in the thought that with the fall of Constantinople Islam, too, will have fallen.

     summary: Although compiled by a clergyman who has had the privilege of being engaged in missionary work at Peshawar for a period of twenty years, this Dictionary of Islam is not intended to be a controversial attack on the religious system of Muhammad, but rather an exposition of its principles and teachings. The Dictionary of Islam has been compiled with very considerable study and labour, in the hope that it will be useful to many;--to the Government official called to administer justice to Muslim peoples; to the Christian missionary engaged in controversy with Muslim scholars; to the Oriental traveller seeking hospitality amongst Muslim peoples; to the student of comparative religion anxious to learn the true teachings of Islam;--to all, indeed, who care to know what are those leading principles of thought which move and guide one hundred and seventy-five millions of the great human family, forty millions of whom are under the rule of Her Most Gracious Majesty the Empress of India.
