Book Review & PDF: “Faith Versus Materialism” by Mawlana Abu ‘l-Hasan ‘Ali Nadwi

Faraz Abdul Moid8 Comments

PDF version, published by Academy of Islamic Research & Publications, Lucknow (India). Translation by Mohiuddin Ahmad.

 

This book is a translation of the Arabic book As Sar’a bain al – Iman wal Maddiyah, which was later rendered in the Urdu Language and finally into English. Although not a commentary per se of Suratul Kahf of the Noble Quran, it is a profound exposition and exegesis of the message of the Surah.

The book attempts to explain two concepts diametrically opposed to each other: one is materialism denoting the primary and objective existence of the external material world; and the other asserts the existence of realities which lay beyond the range of human perceptions, for example, the existence of [good].

The book further explains the meaning and the purpose of Faith and warns against the denial of God and His authority. Four chapters in this book form the central theme, viz.

1. The story of the Companions of the Cave.

2. Parable of the owner of two gardens.

3. The story of Prophet Moses [AS] and Khider [AS]

4. The story of Zul Qarnain

Name of Book: Faith Versus Materialism

Author: Moulana S. Abul Hasan Ali Nadwi [RA]

Assalam o ‘alaykum,

interested can download those at the links given below.

It should be kept in mind that those books that were not written by
Mawlana Sindhi himself but were compiled by his students, etc. have
many inaccuracies and attribution of those things to Mawlana Sindhi is
not appropriate. For more see “Mawlana ‘Ubaydullah Sindhi kay Ulum wa
Afkar” by Mawlana Sufi ‘Abd al-Hamid Khan Sawati and “Mawlana Sindhi
awr un kay Naqidin” by Mawlana Sa’id Ahmad Akbarabadi.
