For rendering Arabic words in English, apart from the words Allah, Quran, Muhammad, hadith, Sunnah and city names, I have followed the transliteration system used by Brillâs simple Arabic transliteration system (excepting in cases where I need to comply with sources of quotations). The Islamic calendar dates from the Prophet Muhammadâs migration (Hijra) from Mecca to Medina in 622 CE. Historical figures and classical authors are identified by their death dates using both HijrÄ« (AH) and Gregorian (CE) years. For example, AbÅ« ḤÄmid al-Ä azÄlÄ« (d. 505/1111) died in the year 505 AH, which corresponds to 1111 CE.
