About the Book

This book presents a detailed and critical study of Islam through the lens of Hadis, covering its doctrinal and creedal foundations along with social, penal, commercial, ritualistic, and ceremonial aspects. Rather than focusing only on theology, the work examines how religious ideas translate into social and legal practices, offering readers a broad and structured understanding of Islamic thought as reflected in Hadis literature.

The author, Ram Swarup (1919–1998), was a distinguished independent thinker, writer, and scholar of comparative religion. A graduate of the University of Delhi, he actively participated in India’s freedom struggle and was closely associated for a time with Mira Behn, Mahatma Gandhi’s adopted daughter. Over the decades, he undertook deep spiritual and intellectual exploration of multiple religious traditions.

Ram Swarup authored several influential works on religion, philosophy, economics, communism, and Indic thought. His writings are known for their clarity, originality, and willingness to engage critically with complex ideologies. In this book, his analytical approach aims to help readers understand Islam by closely examining its primary traditional sources rather than secondary interpretations.

This work is particularly valuable for students of religion, scholars of comparative theology, historians, and readers interested in ideological and civilizational studies.
