Affad Shaikh’s Reviews > Time in Early Modern Islam: Calendar, Ceremony, and Chronology in the Safavid, Mughal and Ottoman Empires > Status Update

it’s a little difficult for me to understand why the hijri calendar system was difficult to use for agricultural economies. I’m not appreicating the nuances Blake presents and i feel i need to jump into more research. The ceremonial chapter for Ottoman, Saffavid, and Mughal years was a fascinating read.

the influences of other cultures and the way Muslims absorbed these new cultures, extending or even building stronger fused ideas is master lesson in the critical nature of diversity and the detrimental nature of narrow minded blindness
