Brilliant and illuminating
Boris Johnson, Mail on Sunday
Greatly enriches our understanding of a much misunderstood subject
Sunday Times
Erudite and instructive
The Times
First-rate
Guardian
[A] lively, yet scholarly, book... Kadri is an ideally positioned guide
Daily Telegraph
Intellectually nimble and rigorously researched . . . admirably clear-eyed . . . Kadri is a precise and stylish writer, as good at explicating abstruse arguments as he is at conjuring vivid scenes . . . this brave and sane book could not be more timely
Scotsman
Truly penetrating and provocative
Observer
Learned, level-headed, engaging, Kadri's [book] deserves praise on every front
Boyd Tonkin, Independent
Thoughtful
Independent on Sunday
[An] erudite and instructive book... Captivating
The Times
[A] fascinating journey . . . Kadri approaches his themes with unstinting humanity and intelligence, as well as great fluency
Spectator
You will come across...a fresh eye, and a clear perspective, in Sadakat Kadri's new book, Heaven on Earth. Learned, level-headed, engaging, Kadri's "journey through Shari'a law" deserves praise on every front
Independent
This is an extremely valuable book...Knowing this stuff is important, and Kadri takes us through it wonderfully well. He has a great grasp of the facts and – this is my favourite thing – a good, dry sense of humour
Nick Lezzard, Guardian
Superb… So much discussion of sharia is marred by misinformation and paranoia: this level-headed book provides a timely corrective
David Evans, Independent on Sunday
