Ismail al Faruqi’s criticisms

Answer:
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

As-Salamu `alaykum wa rahmatullah:

Isma`il Faruqi (born 1921) was a Mu`tazili. He appeals to modernists, orientalists, academics, and similar types. Among his works: Islam and other faiths / 1998; Al Tawhid : its implications for thought and life / 1992 ; Toward Islamic English; Towards Islamic labour & unionism : three papers; The cultural atlas of Islam / 1986 ; Trilogue of the Abrahamic faiths 1986 ; Humanism and the law : the case of the Shari`ah; Essays in Islamic and comparative studies; 1982 ; Social and natural sciences : the Islamic perspective / 1981; Islam and culture / 1980 ; Historical atlas of the religions of the world. 1974 ; Christian ethics: a historical and systematic analysis of its dominant ideas 1967; On Arabism. 1962

This Faruqi is the same as the translator of the disastrous book by Muhammad Haykal, Hayatu Muhammad [sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam!]: Haykal, M. H., THE LIFE OF MUHAMMAD, Tr. Ismail R. Faruqi, American Trust Publications, 1976.

Was-Salam,
