The Political Biography of Syed Ameer Ali
Syed Ameer Ali, 1849-1928, Indian Muslim multifaceted personality.
Short History Of The Saracens
First published in 2008. Written by a barrister and Muslim who also authored the well-known book The Spirit of Islam, this is an unusual and indispensable history of the Saracens, a people who left behind them a great legacy and incredible intellectual wealth. The history of the Saracens is also the history of the spread of Islam. This work chronicles the rise and decline of Saracen power and of the economic, social and intellectual development of the Arab nations.
The Failure of Islamic Modernism?
Although many Muslims have found the modern, secular, westernized world a hostile environment for their religion, a few intellectuals within their religion have attempted to interpret Islam along modernist lines. One of the most distinguished Muslim Modernists has been Syed Ameer Ali (1849-1928), the first Indian member of the Privy Council. This book examines his modernist interpretation of Islamic history and ethics. In particular, it examines Ameer Ali's convictions of Islamic beliefs about prophethood and revelation. It explores whether such an explanation of how to be a faithful Muslim in the contemporary world is convincing and, if so, to what group or groups of Muslims. Further, it asks whether many non-Muslims would be attracted to such an exposition of Islam.
