A message for every human being : men and women, wake up and take notice ; do not be misled, think for yourselves : listen to what Mahomet Allum, born in Kandahar, Afghanistan, has to tell you. (Adelaide : Mahomet. Allum, [1946])

Mahomet Allum was a well-known Adelaide figure. He arrived in Australia in the 1880s, working as a camel driver in the interior and in Western Australia. He settled in Adelaide in the late 1920s. As a herbalist and healer, he attracted a large and enthusiastic clientele. Mahomet was a zealous promoter of Islam and the History of Islamism in Australia from 1863-1932 which he published for his Perth friend, Mohamed Hasan Musakhan, includes a list of 204 Australian Muslims who subscribed to the publication. He left Australia in 1934 for Afghanistan but a petition of 10,000 people convinced him to return.
