The Spirit of Islam By Syed Ameer Ali. Since the promulgation of Islam the world has seen great changes ; empires have risen and disappeared ; great lnaitieons have been swept away making room for others ; knowledge and culture have drifted from the East to the West ; and with knowledge not only power but material prosperity has changed hands. Under the influence of their Prophet, a congeries of warring tribes consolidated into a nation, had for centuries carried aloft the torch of learning for the elinghtenment of the world.

And yet as an active, living faith,Islam has lost none of its pristine force nor the magic hold it possesses over its followers. In certain parts of the world it is spreading with greater rapidity than any other creed, and its acceptance among the less advanced races has invariably tended to raise them in the moral scale.
