Great
Books
Project
The
plan for publishing, in
English translation, one hundred
impor-
t.ant
books
of Islamic thought,
culture
and civilization was
formally ap·
proved by the
Pakistan
Hijra
Council
in
1.984.
To
enable
the reader to
better
appreciate
the development
of
modem kn.owledge, it
wns
decided
that the present series should
preferably
cover those early works which
laid
the foundation of
a
new faith-<:um-knowledge based
civilization.
Accordingly,
the following criteria
were laid down
for
selection
and in-
clusion of books in
the
present Project Series:
These
should
be
the
books
of
first
intensity,
the books
that
have maJ-
tered
in
tl1e advancemenL of
knowledge.
The book
selected
should either
be a
pioneering one on
the
subject,
I.he
most advanced
work
of
its
tim
e, the one that had greatest possible
im pact
in its
are.a of
knowledge,
or
the
one
that was studied
widely
in
the
world
of
Islam
and
outside.
If
a
book
satisfies lhe above criteria,
it
is
to
be
selected "in·csJX.'Ctivc
of
the
fact
whether it
has already
been
edited/translated/published
or
not".
After widest possible consultations
and
continued
modifications
in the
choices made,
one hundred
titles
were
selected and listed
under
the
fol-
lowi
ng
12
categories
of
knowledge:
I.
Religion and Ethics.
vu.
rx.
Society and Cultu1·e.
IJ.
Education
and Pursuit
of
Vlll.
Cosmos
and
Cosmography.
Natu1-al

and Administration.
v.

and Law.
x.
XL

and

or Healing.
VJ.

XII.

The Project Plan and the selected
titl
es
were
finally
approved
by the
Ad·
viso1y
Council
on 29th
June,
l
987 with the
observation
that
inclusion
of
any alternate competing titles
may
be
considered on merit at any stage of
the
P
roj
ect's implementation.
