Islamic Law of Inheritance Book

You know you’re going to get some good scholarship when you flip to the back of the book and find the bibliography is 20 pages long, and that the footnotes take up 1/4-1/2 of each page in the book. Yes, it requires concentration. This is not your modern evangelical garden variety five minute devotion at lunch reading. Set aside prime time for this (when your brain is able to engage). It’s worth the read.

And on a personal note...it’s nice to finally get to the point in your own reading where you recognize most of the cited authors and/or works, find you’ve already covered many of them directly, and have even more lined up in your “to-be-read” mental queue. A few more decades, and I may finally get to the place I qualify for “has scratched the surface” standing. Gold star!
