Erudite and instructive
The Times
First-rate
Guardian
[A] lively, yet scholarly, book... Kadri is an ideally positioned guide
Daily Telegraph
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
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
Brilliant and illuminating
Boris Johnson, Mail on Sunday
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
