There is no moral and behavioural code which draws out perfection in human character in a more complete way than the code of Islām. If Muslims were to truly act upon this guidance, they would receive recognition and praise, as they often did in past centuries, when even warring enemies had to concede their moral and ethical superiority.

Sir Thomas Walker Arnold (d. 1930) was a knighted British orientalist scholar and historian of Islamic Art who wrote a book titled “The Preaching Islām” documenting the spread of Islām across the East and West. Drawing upon hundreds of resources written in more than ten languages, including those from centres of Orientalist studies such as Holland, Arnold provides a picture different from that of modern loons and rabid Islām haters.

In this report we provide numerous excerpts showing how the moral excellence and impeccable character of Muslims, alongside their justice led them to be welcomed by oppressed minorities and adherents of other religions, from the Jews, Christians and Magians.
