Webb was one of the first converts to Islam in America. He opened one of the first Islamic reading rooms, published numerous pamphlets on Islam, edited the first American Islamic journal and newspaper, and served as Turkish emissary to the United States. His writing presents a philosophic, thoughtful Islam that can appeal to both the scholar and the common man and shows that Islam is the answer to the social ills of this nation. This work contains his texts Islam in America, Namaz, and the Armenia Troubles. Also included are his speeches from the 1893 World Parliament of Religions.
