The Disintegration Of Islam (1916)

The Disintegration of Islam is a book written by Samuel Marinus Zwemer in 1916. The book is a detailed analysis of the history and current state of Islam, focusing on its decline and disintegration. Zwemer, a Christian missionary who spent many years in the Middle East, provides a comprehensive overview of the Islamic world, its beliefs, and practices, and the factors that have contributed to its decline. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the origins of Islam, the life of Muhammad, the spread of Islam, and the various sects and schools of thought within the religion. Zwemer also discusses the impact of colonialism and Western influence on the Islamic world, as well as the internal struggles and divisions that have weakened the religion over time. Throughout the book, Zwemer argues that Islam is in a state of disintegration and decline, and that it is unable to provide a viable alternative to Western civilization. He suggests that the only way for Islam to survive is for it to undergo a radical transformation, including a rejection of its more extreme teachings and a greater emphasis on individual freedom and democracy. Overall, The Disintegration of Islam is a thought-provoking and insightful examination of one of the world's major religions. It provides a valuable perspective on the challenges facing Islam in the modern world and offers suggestions for how the religion might evolve in the future.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
