Outlines of Islám by Canon Edward Sell is a structured and accessible introduction to the core beliefs, practices, and history of Islam. Aimed primarily at non-Muslim readers, especially Christian missionaries and students, the book covers the life of Prophet Muhammad, the Quran, Islamic theology, law, sects, and rituals. Written in a clear and systematic style, Sell seeks to explain Islam from a scholarly yet Christian perspective. Though dated, it served as a key reference for understanding Islamic teachings in early 20th-century missionary education.

Canon Edward Sell (1839–1932) was a British Anglican missionary, orientalist, and scholar who spent most of his life in India. A respected authority on Islam and biblical studies, he served as principal of Harris High School and canon of St. George’s Cathedral in Madras. He authored nearly 50 works on Islamic theology, history, and the Bible, fostering interfaith dialogue. Honored with the Kaiser-i-Hind Gold Medal and a Doctor of Divinity, Sell’s legacy lies in his deep scholarship and cross-cultural religious engagement.
