Heaven On Earth: A Non-Hysterical History of Shari’ah

By Haroon Moghul

…ble book would have taken time and money I did not possess. Traveling from India to Egypt seemed to offer a fairly simple way of linking my south Asian heritage with the history of the regions where Islamic jurisprudence came of age.
