INTRODUCTION The need for a publication that can introduce Islam briefly, and at the same time give an overview of this religion has long been felt. This is an effort to meet with the need. However, this is far easily said than done, because Islam is not simply a set of creeds, customs and rituals, but a complete way of life that guides man in every field of thought and action and prepares him for a swift transition to the Hereafter. Accordingly, it neither neglects the needs, hopes and aspirations of this earthly existence, nor does it abandon man to the mundane world with a soul yearning for peace and tranquility. Therefore, to present Islam in a brief form, even if it be an overview, is just out of question. I endeavor to do it in three volumes, and this is the first of the series. This volume tries to answer the very basic questions that one unexposed to Islam would like to ask. Such answers had to be, of necessity, very brief. The reader is advised, therefore, to consult other works, some of which are listed at the end of this book. He may also contact one of the Islamic centers, also listed at the end, for further guidance. By Syed lqbal Zaheer
"The entire work is divided into four sections. Section A deals with the Articles; B with the Speaches; C with the Letters and D with Memorials. There are only two edited works in Pakistan on Ameer Ali : one by the eminent historiuan Professor K.K. Aziz and the other by Dr. Syed Razi Wasti. In India I have not come across any edited work save Imtiaz Ali's who has merely reprinted Wasti's work. The present book differs from the above two collections. I have tried to reproduce only important articles, speeches and letters of Ameer Ali. My sources of collection have been, besides K.K. Aziz, the Nineteenth Century, the Times, the Comrade, the Observer, etc. Papers of the National Mohammadan Association were micro-filmed by the National Library, Calcutta and had been a great source of information"--

This edited translation of Syed Nur Ahmad's landmark study, Martial Law to Martial Law, provides the most comprehensive study in English or Urdu of the politics of the Punjab. Drawing on his career as a journalist and as former director of information for the government of the Punjab, Nur Ahmad gives an eyewitness account of the politics of the province from the imposition of martial law in 1919 (following the Jalianwala Bagh massacre) to the reestablishment of martial law accompanying the coup d'etat led by General Ayub Khan in Pakistan in 1958. Nur Ahmad relates the events in the Punjab to the larger Indian Muslim political scene, assesses the development and eventual decline of the Unionist Party (which stood against the partition of India), and traces the rise of support for the Muslim League. He also looks at the post-independence period in Pakistan and the failure of the parliamentary regime, discussing how national-level politics affected the Punjab._
