THE FAITH OF ISLAM: BY THE REV. EDWARD SELL,

PRINTED BY ADDISON AND CO., MOUNT ROAD.
PREFACE. The following pages embody a study of Islám during a residence of fifteen
years in India, the greater part of which time I have been in daily
intercourse with Musalmáns. I have given in the footnotes the authorities
from which I quote. I was not able to procure in Madras a copy of the
Arabic edition of Ibn Khaldoun's great work, but the French translation by
Baron M. de Slane, to which I so frequently refer, is thoroughly reliable.
The quotations from the Qurán are made from Rodwell's translation. The
original has been consulted when necessary. A few slight and occasional errors in transliteration have occurred, such
as Sulát for Salát, Munkar for Munkir, &c., but in no case is the meaning
affected. In some words, such as Khalíf, Khalífate, and Omar, I have retained the
anglicised form instead of using the more correct terms, Khalífa, Khiláfat,
'Umr. The letter Q has been used to distinguish the Káf i Karashat from the
Káf i Tází. E. S. MADRAS,
