Given that the role of the \u003cem\u003eQadi \u003c\/em\u003efar exceeds that of judge, the author was well placed to describe the workings of power from within. Along with that, his excellence as a scholar allowed him to produce a work which is one of the undoubted classics of Islam.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Translator\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eDr. Asadullah Yate attained a Phd from Cambridge with his dissertation on ibn Rushd as a Jurist.
