Habib said: It is not on those things at which you look that I look, because I contemplate the things which are out of sight; and therefore I do the will of God, the Maker of all things, and not that of an idol made with hands, which is not sensible of anything whatever.

 10. Mohammed Habib’s history-rewriting
Amber Habib has better things to do than to argue with me: “Due to the volume of charges thrown around by him, I cannot enter into a lengthy discussion of his views.” This is convenient for the author, but I readily agree that life is too short and too precious to spend it on polemics.
Habib does not attribute Mahmud’s behaviour to his being a Turk ‘barbarian’, but (to the extent that background can be blamed) to the spirit of the ‘Persian Renaissance’ and the subsequent submission of the Islamic ideal to the whims and desires of the rulers.
Habib’s thesis is that Mahmud’s desire was to expand his empire to the west, and the raids in the east were to provide finance as well as the mantle of a religious warrior.
