Islam, Her Moral And Spiritual Value: A Rational And Pyschological Study

"Islam, Her Moral and Spiritual Value: A Rational and Psychological Study" by Arthur Glyn Leonard is an early 20th-century exploration of Islam, tackling common European misconceptions of the time. This book aims to carefully examine the moral and spiritual aspects of Islam, utilizing a logical and psychological approach, it highlights the teachings of Prophet Mohammed. Leonard challenges the widespread fear of a united Islamic threat to Christianity, arguing that these fears are rooted in prejudice rather than a true understanding of the religion. He advocates for a bias-free assessment of Islam, positioning it not as a hostile force, but, rather, as a faith promoting unity and moral progress for all people. Setting the stage for his study, Leonard argues that engaging with Islamic teachings is key to building understanding and respect among different faiths.
