The Spirit of Islam: A History of the Evolution and Ideals of Islam, with a Life of the Prophet

About this film

LibriVox recording of The Spirit of Islam: A History of the Evolution and Ideals of Islam, with a Life of the Prophet by Syed Ameer Ali. Read in English by Kazbek. Syed Ameer Ali was a prominent Indian jurist, author and political leader during the British Raj. In The Spirit of Islam he draws on his broad knowledge of Western historical research and Islamic sources to highlight the enlightened and socially progressive tendencies in the Islamic tradition. Some parts of the book counter the Orientalist scholarship of the time, which was largely hostile to Islam, while others articulate the author's vision of Islam as a modern faith. Pronunciation note: the Arabic words and names found in the text are pronounced based on their native form, rather than the spelling used by the author, which reflects Persian and Indian pronunciation.
