About the Book

Understanding Islam is a translation of Ijtihad (Striving) written in Urdu by Nazir Ahmad (18361912) a leading Urdu writer, social and religious reformer. The original work grew out of a response to the question, Why am I a Muslim? which had obsessed the author. Nazir Ahmad critically examines questions that he felt had perhaps been inadequately understood by his co-religionists, and suggested areas where a change in their outlook might be conducive to the true spirit of Islam. This book is a valuable introduction and guide to the essence of Islam. Mohammed Zakirs translation is true to the original, and retains its flavour. About the Author Nazir Ahmad (18301912) was a leading Urdu writer who was also a social and religious reformer, and a prominent scholar. He was a pioneer of Urdu literature and published books in varied genres. His Mirat-ul-Uroos, published in 1869, is considered to be the first novel in Urdu. Ahmad came from a distinguished family of religious scholars, maulavis and muftis of Bijnor and Delhi. Mohammed Zakir was born in Delhi and educated at St. Stephens College, Sri Ram College of Commerce and Zakir Husain Delhi College, University of Delhi.
