"Notes on Islam" by Sir Ahmed Hussain is a theological exploration written in the early 20th century. This work examines the essence of Islam as seen through the author's perspective, which seeks to bridge traditional beliefs with modern scientific thought. The author expresses his view that Islam, when correctly understood, is a rational and comprehensive faith that can align with contemporary understandings of science and morality. The opening of the text introduces the author's motivation for writing, specifically a response to his sons' inquiries about the value of Islam amidst questions posed by missionaries. He emphasizes a distinction between "true Islam" and "Muhammadanism," advocating for a return to the core spiritual principles of the religion rather than focus on strict and archaic rule interpretations. The text sets the stage for deeper discussions on the nature of God, the duties Muslims owe to Him, themselves, and others, and how these concepts relate to both religious and contemporary scientific philosophies.
