The Sayings of Muhammad

1938

What a powerful influence the eample of the Prophet exercises over the hearts and imaginations of his followers may well be realised from the fact that to-day the approved mode of parting the hair and of wearing the beard and the popularity of the turban and flowing robes in the East are all due to the conscious or unconscious imitation of that great Leader of Fashion who flourished Oa Arabia [...] The Table-Talk of the Prophet deals with the most minute and delicate circumstances of life and the collected body of the Ways and xvWont of Muhammad is the Muslim's dictionary of morals and manners. [...] Some of the sayings are chosen to illustrate the rude and barbarous manners of the people amongst whom the Law-giver lived whilst a few are specially meant for the Muslim the mystic the spiritualist and the siifi. [...] If this booklet serves in the least degree to quicken the march of the spirit of Renaissance and Reform now abroad in the Mr-al-Islam and to awaken an interest in the Faith amongst those Seekers after Truth in the West who are worshippers of the Light and not of the Lamp the labours of the copiler will be more than amply rewarded. [...] What actions are most excellent ? To gladden the heart of a human being to feed the hungry to help the afflicted to lighten the sorrow of the sorrowful and to remove the wrongs of the injured.
