Know about the book -

Time in Early Modern Islam is written by Stephen P. Blake and published by Cambridge University Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1107030234 (ISBN 10) and 9781107030237 (ISBN 13).

Stephen Blake compares the Islamic concept of time across the empires of the Safavids, Ottomans, and Mughals. Each empire, while mindful of earlier models, created a new temporal system, fashioning a new solar calendar and era and a new round of rituals and ceremonies from the cultural resources at hand. The book not only contributes to our understanding of the origins and transformation of the Muslim temporal system but also explains the impact of Islamic science on the West.
