ajiss-2615	Zaman, Muhammad Q.	Merchant Capital and Islam: By Mahmood Ibrahim. Austin: University of Texas Press, 1990, 246pp.	1991.0	5	.pdf	application/pdf	1804	61	43	By studying the trends and consequences of pre-Islamic Makkah's commercial activities, it seeks to bring out both the material bases of the rise of Islam and the element of continuity between pre-Islamic Makkah and early Islamic history. Ibrahim’s work does, however, mark an advance due to its greater detailing of Makkah’s commercial milieu, the rise of Islam within it, and its tracing of continuities of pre-Islamic commercial trends into Islamic times.	cache/ajiss-2615.pdf	txt/ajiss-2615.txt
