Opinions of The Man
David Samuel Margoliouth in the preface of his book Mohammed and the Rise of Islam wrote:
-
- "The charming and eloquent treatise of Syed Ameer Ali, The Spirit of Islam, is probably the best achievement in the way of an apology for Mohammed that is ever likely to be composed in a European language"
A comparison was made between Mahadev Gobind Ranade and Syed Ameer Ali, who both held similar positions economically and socially. However historian Yasser Latif Hamdani commented:
-
- "Syed Ameer Ali’s impact, though profound on the Turks, has been marginal on the Muslims of South Asia."
In 2005 he was listed in the list of the top 100 great Muslim leaders of the twentieth century under the category of ulema and jurists.
