Izhar ul-Haqq

Izhar ul-Haqq or Izhar al-Haq (Arabic: إظهار الحق‎) is a book by Rahmatullah Kairanawi. Kairanwi had written this book in response to the allegations made by certain Christian missionaries against Islam and especially to counter Meezanul Haqq, a book written by Pfander against Islam.[1][2] The book was originally written in Arabic in 1864, this six-volume book was later translated (or summarized) into English,[3][4] Turkish,[5] Urdu and Bangla[6].

Christine Schirrmacher describes the book saying:[7]

'The Demonstration of the Truth' (izhâr al-haqq) served as a summary of all possible charges against Christianity and was therefore used after al-Kairânawî's death as a sort of encyclopaedia since al-Kairânawî extended the material of former polemicists like 'Ali Tabarî, Ibn Hazm or Ibn Taymiyya to a great extent.

Sources

Kairanawi made use of Western Biblical criticism as well as theological works.[7]
