Zeki, ileri görüşlü, ilme düşkün, araştırmacı, dînî ve tabiî ilimleri tahsil etmiş, Fransızca,

Bunlardan Târîh-i Dîn-î İslâm eseri orjinaldir. Giriş adındaki I. cildi, alanında yazılmış ilk Türkçe eserdir. Son dönem İslâm Târîhin de klasik İslâm târîhi kaynakları ile batı kaynakları esas alınarak, İslâm öncesi Arap yarımadasının coğrafî, medenî, siyasî, iktisadî, felsefî ve dînî hayatını boyutlarıyla araştırıp müstakil bir kitapta Türkçe yazan ilk târîhçilerdendir. Bu husus, İslâm'ın ortaya çıktığı, coğrafyanın araştırılarak, gelişme ve yayılma şartlarının neler olduğunun bilinmesini kolaylaştırmıştır.
