دوستانِ گرامی، «محمد حمیدالله» این عرب پرستِ بیسواد در این کتاب، یعنی هر خزعبلاتی میتوانسته نوشته، دقت کنید
نوشته: پایه و اساس آموزشهایِ اسلام را باید در قرآن و حدیث جستجو کرد
البته احتمالاً منظورش آموزشِ غارت و جنگ و تجاوز هستش و زن بارگی... وگرنه سالهایِ سال، آنها رو خواندم ولی آموزشی برایِ انسان نیافتم

در ادامه این بیچارۀ نادان، حدیث رو مقدس میدونه و نوشته: دلیلِ حرمت و تقدسِ حدیث آنست که، دورنمایه احادیث نیز مانندِ قرآن از سویِ خدا به انسان وحی میشود

دوستانِ خردگرا، شما فقط مغلطه هایِ کثیف رو ببینید، اول به زور به مردم داره میقبولونه که حدیث مقدس است و جایِ بحث نیست! .. بعد جمله رو مبپیچونه و با کلمات بازی میکنه، آخه دورنمایۀ حدیث از سویِ خداست یعنی چی؟! در آخر این بیشعور وحی رو واقعی میدونه و میگه خدا با اون امامانشونم صحبت میکرده،... یادِ مغلطه هایِ شریعتیِ نادان افتادم، البته هر دو در یک مکتب پرورش یافتن، مکتبِ مغلطه و دروغ پردازی
خوشحالم که امروزه جوانانِ خردگرایی که اهلِ مطالعه هستن، سمتِ کتبِ این مغلطه گران نمیرن و آنهارو شناختن

پیروز باشید و ایرانی

It is a good books for those who want to understand the basic idea of Islam. However, it is not recommended for those, who want to critically analyse Islam.

[Amir · Rating 3 out of 5]

A solid book which gives you 500+ facts about Islam and Islamic beliefs, practices and spirituality, as well as history and culture.

براي درس خواندن متون اسلامي به فرانسه خواندن حدود صدو پنجاه پاراگرافش هم براي يك ترم چهاري سهل نمينمود، الباقي را ميگذاريم براي ايام فراغت...:)
اما براي علاقه مندان به خواندن آثار مربوط به تاريخ اسلام به زبان فرانسه شروع خوبي است، اما سطح زبان كتاب و لغاتش درمجموع سخت اما نه خيلي سخت بود!:)))

it was a very looong journey. it's because i was in a hiatus. questioned myself a lot while reading it first, i'm not saying i have a solid-deep knowledge in islam but as someone who's born and raised muslim i trust my islamic knowledge background. so... why did i read an introduction to islam book?
after finding the answer i continued reading this book. for me, the answer is, I believe that whatever background you're coming from, every person should read a basic level islamic studies book. You can easily absorb the knowledge you already have but in a different way. Just wipe out all of your knowledge in islam and read this book without any bias, foresight, anything. So you can easily achieve your goal. What was my goal? Especially for us, born-and-raised muslims, we should-no- we must find islam one more time, but this time by ourselves.

May Allah bless Muhammad Hamidullah and his soul.

[Babar Ali Magsi · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book of Hamidullah is a basic one for anyone, who is trying to understand the basic tenants of Islam.
It briefly gives information about the life of the Prophet(PBUH), a compilation of texts, beliefs and pillars of Islam.
It also sketches a superficial picture of different systems prevalent in Islam: Political, economic, Judicial and moral.
The book also discusses the rights of Women, the non- Muslim community and Muslims contribution to the development of science and arts in the world.
It ends with the brief general history of the Caliphate, its propagation and its downfall.

An easy to understand writing for all new to Islam and even for Muslims. There are many things one can learn from it.

Just finished the Bengali translation of the book. In the name of "Islam porichoi". I like the book enough. If you wants to get a comparative idea about nuances of Islam. You can read it.
