A Dictionary of Islam / Being a cyclopedia of the doctrines, rites, ceremonies, and customs, together with the technical and theological terms, of the Muhammadan religion.

This reference compiles concise, alphabetically arranged entries explaining Muslim doctrines, rites, ceremonies, jurisprudence, and technical theological terms, primarily from a Sunni perspective while noting Shia and Wahhabi differences. It includes short biographical notices linked to religious practices, explanations of Qurʾanic and hadith material drawn from English translations, a transliteration key for Arabic, and practical articles on worship, law, and social customs aimed at readers unfamiliar with Arabic or Eastern life. The compiler draws on Muslim and Western scholarship and on experience among Muslim communities to present accessible, systematic information for administrators, students of comparative religion, and general readers.
