Abdal Hakim Murad's Crash Course in Islamic History VII
Abdal Hakim Murad examines the unanimity across the classical Islamic world despite the absence of an overriding body that could have forced conformity and delves into the question of the fate of local cultures.
He argues that Islam’s capacity to maintain this balance between the universal and the particular is important and that this is a universal feature of Islamic history. Islam does not 'Arabize' despite the use of the Arabic language in worship and but instead 'monotheizes' local cultures.
