It is not history, nor biography. It is not anthology, like the Sermon on the Mount ; nor metaphysical dialectics, like Buddhist Sutras ; nor sublime homiletics like Plato's conferences of the wise and foolish teachers. It is a prophet's cry, Semitic to the core ; yet of a meaning so universal and so timely that all the voices of the age take it up, willingly or unwillingly, and it echoes over palaces and deserts, over cities and empires, first kindling its chosen hearts to world-conquest, then gathering itself up into a reconstructive force that all the creative light of Greece and Asia might penetrate the heavy gloom of Christian Europe, when Christianity was but Queen of Night."    (Book: Oriental Religions, Samuel Johnson, US Clergyman, author and a Harvard Divinity School Alumni, referred in Justice Syed Amir Ali's The Spirit of Islam, Chapter IX The Literary and Scientific Spirit of Islam, Page 395)   Azam
