Abstract

This paper aims to explore the opulence of Islam in Western nations, paying special attention to the contributions of Muhammad Hamidullah, one of the most influential Islamic scholars of the 20th century, whose works have been translated into English, German, Sindhi, and Turkish. His writings have gained widespread acclaim. The paper also examines his writings, demonstrating Muhammad Hamidullah’s bravery. This study holds significance because he maintained the highest standards of academic integrity. The study further examines his contributions to critical areas of Islamic scholarship, including Islamic politics, Hadith literature, Qur’anic translation, Prophet Muhammad’s (pbuh) biography, and Islamic international law. These areas of study could be a valuable and trustworthy source of information. The study briefly addresses his foreign education, his prolonged stay for research, his acquisition of foreign languages, his strategies for promoting Islam through his writings, and his determination to bring the light of Islam to non-Muslims in order to highlight the splendour of Islam. His writings serve as the primary sources for illuminating the splendour of Islam, and a qualitative content analysis of them has been the methodology employed in this study. Finally, the study provides information about him and his commitment to advancing Islam in the West to a global audience.
