He provides a detailed analysis of Islamic theology and jurisprudence to demonstrate that rebellion against a legitimate authority is not a religious obligation. Ahmad Khan also highlights the contributions of Indian Muslims to the British Empire and argues that they have been loyal subjects of the Queen.The book is significant in the context of Indian history as it reflects the debates and discussions that were taking place among Indian intellectuals and scholars during the colonial period.
