REFACE TO THE SIXTH EDITION
As I wrote this book over the years I did not entertain the hope that it would elicitsuch a warm reception and appreciation, And when it went to the press over and overagain I thanked God and felt grateful to the readers who took so much interest in thecontents of this book.I was, however, beginning to feel that in the future this book need not be republished,For, in my view, we had better no way some thing positive about Islam itself in thecontext of the various fields of life it embraces, and the positivity and the supervisorycharacter that its law enjoys with regard to practical life, as I have attempted in the booksappearing after the present one, instead of limiting our efforts to defending it against thevarious doubts given currency to by its enemies in order to confuse and throw us on thedefensive.But when I read the orientalist Mr. Wilfred Cantwell smith’s book "Islam in ModernHistory", and found that the author had in three places referred to this book of mine inwords so angry and disparaging that came very near to openly calling names. I decidedthat the book that had roused the anger of a rancorous crusader to such an extent mustremain in circulation and be published over and over again.All my thanks are due to Allah; His Grace alone brings succor.MUHAMMAD QUTB
