Description

This work presents in a tabulated form, a concise account of the doctrines, rites, ceremonies, and customs, together with the technical and theological terms of Islam.

A reprint of 1885 classic, this Dictionary has been compiled with very considerable study and labor. Although compiled by a clergyman, this book is not intended to be a controversial attack on the religious system of Muhammad, but rather an exposition of its principles and teachings.
