This book was first published in Urdu in 1963. It was written at a time when Islamic fundamentalism was being aggressively propagated among the Indian Muslims. The author counters the time space independent and eternal vision of bookish Islam with historical perspective, in which Islam emerged and spread, to explain the reasons why Islam turned into a hurricane of change and why today it is not so. It is underlined by the author that looking at Islam from outside the framework of history leads us nowhere. The book makes a significant contribution on the subject through its analysis of the evolution of Islam in India.
