The Islam of Mohamed by S. Khuda Bukhsh
QR code
"The Islam of Mohamed" by S. Khuda Bukhsh is a scholarly examination of the foundations of Islam and the teachings of the Prophet Mohamed, written in the early 20th century. This work aims to explore the essence of Islam as it was originally preached, free from later theological disputes and cultural accretions. It focuses on the socio-religious context of pre-Islamic Arabia and the innovative teachings brought forth by Mohamed that transformed the
lives of the Arab people. In this text, Bukhsh meticulously outlines the conditions of Arabia prior to the advent of Islam, highlighting the tribalism, pagan beliefs, and moral vacuity that characterized the society. He traces the influences of Judaism and Christianity on Arab thought while also acknowledging the remnants of pre-Islamic practices that were integrated into Islamic rituals. Central to the teachings of Islam, as laid out by Bukhsh, is the concept of the absolute oneness of God (monotheism), the establishment of ethical responsibilities towards others, and the need for communal solidarity far beyond tribal affiliations. The author articulates how Islam, through its basic tenets such as prayer, almsgiving, fasting, and pilgrimage, fostered a sense of brotherhood and moral discipline that reshaped Arab society and set the stage for its remarkable expansion.
