This translation into English of a great Islamic classic offers the
western world a simple yet profound interpretation of Islam.
Drawing upon years of unparalleled experience in diplomacy and
government, Azzam examines the social and economic ramifications of
the Muslim state, one based on humane ideals of law and justice
expressed in the Qur'an, and one which can provide the foundation
for a just society. Abd al-Rahman Azzam (1893-1976) is generally
considered as the father of the Arab League. He served as the
League's first Secretary-General between 1945-52 as well as
distinguishing himself in a long career as an ambassador and
parliamentarian. As Vincent Sheean points out in his introduction,
'In Damascus as well as in Djakarta, Istanbul and Baghdad, this man
is known for valour of spirit and elevation of mind...He combines
in the best Islamic mode, the aspects of thought and action, like
the Muslim warriors of another time who are typified for us
Westerners by the figure of Saladin.' Malcolm X's reading of 'The
Eternal Message of Muhammad' and his meeting with Azzam Pasha are
vividly recounted in his 'Autobiography'. It is clear that these
events marked the point in his life at which Malcolm X turned
towards orthodox traditional Islam.
