Von Kremer still stands unsurpassed. He has had no competitors; he alone occupies the field. His researches patient, laborious, thorough have illumined every aspect of Muslim life. He is the most trustworthy interpreter of the social, political, economic, literary, and legal problems of I slam. The volume before us opens with an account of the death of the Prophet, and the trouble that arose over the question of succession. Paction fought faction. Heavy banks of cloud loomed up menacingly on the political horizon of A rabia. The spirit of tribal faction theretofore checked and kept in restraint asserted itself; and, in its very infancy, I slam was threatened with division, disunion, ruin and disruption. Omar saw the danger, and felt the need of prompt and vigorous action. He did as a practical and sagacious statesman would do. He settled the question of succession at a stroke ;and with that the clouds rolled away, and the danger which had confronted I slam was at once averted. -- From https://www.amazon.co.uk (Sep. 21, 2016).
