Excerpt from The Faith of Islam: An Explanatory Sketch of the Principal Fundamental Tenets of the Moslem Religion
As all the 5,000 copies which comprised the second edition of this work have been exhausted, it has become necessary to issue another one. Since the publication of the last issue the pamphlet has been perused by the Caliph of the Faithful, His Imperial Majesty the Sultan of Turkey, who was gracious enough to signify his commendation of the same; and letters have been received from Sierra Leone, Lagos, and other portions of Western Africa, the Cape of Good Hope and the Transvaal in South Africa, from Hungary, the Phillipine Islands, Australia, and even from Hong Kong in China, and Tobolsk in Siberia, asking for copies of the book to be forwarded, and permission has been granted and the brochure is now being translated into and published, in addition to other languages, in Turkish, German, Bengalee, and Tamil (the language of Southern India).
In this edition I have carefully retained every line of the original text, but I have, in many instances, considerably extended the information previously given, my desire being to present as full and complete a sketch of my religion as was possible without extending the book to an unnecessary length. And I trust that the perusal of this little work may facilitate a correct knowledge of "the truth of that faith which is most excellent."
