'Ulama in Contemporary Pakistan
«'The book overall is well-organised and a timely addition. It provides a new perspective on the 'ulamāʾ 's evolving authority in the nation-state system, in general, and state- 'ulamāʾ relations in Pakistan, in particular.' Jaffer Abbas Mirza, Journal of Shi'a Islamic Studies»
In this book, Mashal Saif explores how contemporary 'ulama, the guardians of religious knowledge and law, engage with the world's most populated Islamic nation-state: Pakistan. In mapping these engagements, she weds rigorous textual analysis with fieldwork and offers insight into some of the most significant and politically charged issues in recent Pakistani history.

«'Saif has produced a stimulating and fascinating work, which gives vast and enriching access of the ulema's political thinking, without which any understanding of Pakistan remains deficient … Everyone interested in studying Pakistan must engage with this treatise.' Muneeb Yousuf, South Asia Research»
