Encyclopaedia Of Muslim World (Jordan)

The Muslim school embraces all branches of human knowledge and research theology, medicine, history, astronomy, grammar, economics, physics, racial philosophy and racial psychology and ethics. It is an important educator on all systems of purely human origin, and its creed adores, worships and acknowledges the Creator of the Universe, in the most sublime and loftiest expression, never to be found in the liturgy of other religions. The Islamic conception of God is that He is Allah and there is no deity beside Him; He alone is to be worshipped. He begets not and He is not begotten. He was before time began its race. He is Allah Who hath raised different prophets of men throughout the ages. His greatness is immeasurable. Allah is He That abideth from eternity to eternity. This but a fractional part of the Muslim Creed-a creed which strictly, forbids the worship of images and the artistic representation of anything that resembles the human form. Yet in Christian literature, periodicals and other publications Muslims have been alluded to, and spoken of, as pagans, idolaters, polygamists, sun worshippers and what not. Muslims, the ardent followers of Islam have. made great strides the world over and made remarkable success in bringing many countries under their hegemony from Europe to Asia, and Africa.
