"The Bihishti Zewar" was written in northern India in the early 1900s by a revered Muslim scholar and spiritual guide, Maulana Ashraf 'Ali Thanawi (1864-1943). This book selects those sections of the Bihishti Zewar that best illustrate the themes of reformist thought about God, the person, society, and gender.
