To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
68 THE COINS OF INDIA privilege, with the reading of his name in the khutba, or public prayer, were actions implying the definite assump- tion of regal power. Another new feature was the inclusion in the inscription of religious formulae, that most commonly used being the Kalima or profession of faith. " There is no god but Al ah, and Muhammad is the Prophet of Allah. " This practice, followed by many subsequent Muhammadan rulers in India, owed its origin to the crusading zeal of the early Khal...ifs of Syria in the eighth century. The fabric of the coinage thus underwent a complete transformation ; not all at once, but gradually, as new districts were subjected to Muhammadan conquerors, money of the new type spread over the whole peninsula except the extreme south. Yet owing, no doubt, to its sectarian association, it was not, until the great Mughal currency had attained a position of predominating importance, voluntarily imitated by independent com- munities. The Muhammadans were also destined to set up a new standard of weight, but before this was accomplished nearly five centuries were to elapse.
