A number of primary sources, book and journals have been cited repeatedly throughout this study, and are abbreviated as follows:

Arabic translations are checked against the dictionaries by Hans Wehr and Edward Lane. I have used the Yusuf Ali translation of the Qurʾān.

I have italicised all non-English words, except for those that have an accepted or widespread usage in the English language – for example, mihrab and minbar are not italicised, but maqṣūra is.
