Dr Kozlowski's important study pioneers a fresh approach to the
study of a critical Muslim institution: the endowments or awqaf
which almost everywhere in the Islamic world provide support for
mosques, schools and shrines. The wealthier Muslims who establish
endowments inevitably have an eye on social, political and economic
conditions and have traditionally used awqaf as part of an effort
to preserve their wealth and influence, especially in periods of
change and uncertainty. The book focuses on the use of endowments
by Muslims suffering the dislocations caused by the imposition of
British rule in India and examines in detail the social and
political implications of the controversy over endowments that took
place in the imperial courts and councils. The author's
observations and insights can be applied to many periods and places
in the Muslim world and his novel approach will attract all those
interested in the study of Islam.
