Author, lawyer, and travel journalist Sadakat Kadri discusses shari‘a law and the turbulent story of Islam’s foundation. Kardi's latest book is a historical critique of Islamic jurisprudence called Heaven on Earth: A Journey Through Shari’a Law. The book involved considerable travel around south Asia and the Middle East, and his book works to combine research with his practical legal work.
