Shahab Ahmed byl pákistánsko-americký islámský učenec, jehož posthumne vydané dílo je popisováno jako podivuhodné a brilantní. Jeho práce má encyklopedickou vizi a pevně argumentovanou strukturu, která připomíná logické důkazy, přesto je prodchnuta naléhavostí politického manifestu. Ahmed zkoumal islámskou historii a myšlení s jedinečnou perspektivou.
