520			_aThis book based on the study of the traditional Islamic sources deals with the origin and growth of Islam in its early days. It’s the outcome of an endeavour to have an emic view of Islam. As per the author an average Indian, especially the Hindu, has tremendous perceptional haziness about Islam and there are reasons for the same. The present-day Hindu suffers from intellectual passivity and laziness; there is a serious lack of endeavour to understand and explicate Islam as explicitly as possible. A Hindu often talks about Islam by placing it in the Hindu spiritual framework/parameter. The author advocates that it is necessary to place everything Islamic into Islamic context as Hinduism and Islam greatly differ. The two totally different in their spiritual equipage, framework and content; they have different value systems as well. This book is about understanding Islam.
