AcknowledgmentFirst, I must acknowledge my wife’s encouragement and patient sacrifice in the course of this work; withouther support, this book would not have been possible.This work has been based on the works of human and superhuman scholars and authors; and most ofthe credit should go to them. Prominent mention must be made of Allah, the author of the Quran, of al-Bukhari, Abu Muslim, and Abu Dawud, the compliers of prophetic traditions, of Ibn Ishaq and al-Tabari, theauthors of prophetic biographies, and of Muhammad Ferishtah, Ibn Battutah, HM Elliot and J Dawson,Jawaharlal Nehru, KS Lal, Giles Milton, Bernard Lewis, VS Naipaul, GD Khosla, PK Hitti, M Umaruddin,Andrew Bostom, RM Eaton, Baharistan-i-Shahi and Aberuni’s India amongst others.I am also no less indebted to my friends, namely Abul Kasem, Mohammad Asghar, Syed KamranMirza, Sher Khan, Mumin Salih, C Lee, Warner Mackenzie and many others, who have given me tremendousencouragement in the course of this work. Many of them have given me valuable feedbacks and suggestions.Special thanks go to C Lee for sharing his large collection of books with me, which has been very helpful tomy research.The topics discussed in this work are of universal interest but the historical data presented moreextensively from India mainly for two reasons: firstly, a good body of historical information on India isavailable from the works of contemporaneous scholars; secondly, not to make the book too voluminous.While reading it, readers should bear in mind that the treatment of non-Muslims by Muslim rulers was themildest in India; elsewhere, it was worse except rare instances (Spain).readers.There will remain some linguistic errors in this book, which, I hope, will not be too distracting toM.
