Excerpt from Saints of Islam The following pages are intended to give briefly some of the main features of the religious philosophy of Islam along with a brief account of some of the interesting events of the lives of three of its great saints. A few of the sentiments ascribed to these saints have been rendered freely into English in order to bring out the spirit of the thought clearly which a literal rendering too often is hardly able to convey, and these thoughts have been compared to similar sentiments of other eminent Oriental thinkers. I have selected the three lives from three different periods in order to survey briefly the development of some of the political events and to a small extent the literary advancement effected by the Mohammedans in the course of these periods.
