Suppose a large group of people, incapable of collusion, corroborate one another's report of an event they all witnessed first hand. Should I take this corroborated reporting to establish with certainty the content of the reported event? With unusual patience and eloquent presentation, Laher delineates a thousand years of debate on the implications of this inquiry, which invades Qur'anic, legal, theological, and historical studies & invites Jews and Hindus, Buddhists and Christians, to put in their two cents. The author's persistence to perfect his work commits to the best in academic custom. This book is an accomplishment and will be a rewarding read.--Ahmad Atif Ahmad, UC Santa Barbara
