This book presents a brief overview of the historical development of Islamic law and its schools of jurisprudence (the madh-habs). In addition to that Dr. Bilal Philips has also identified the negate and positive roles played by madh-habs in the past. He further proposes a way in which all madh-habs can be unified. The book is important as it draws the Muslims’ attention to self-criticism that is long overdue.
