Geographical Dimensions of Islamicjerusalem
Islamicjerusalem has been at the heart of the Muslim religion from its early days. “The Geographical Dimensions of Islamicjerusalem” brings new dimensions and horizons to the relations between Islam and this Holy region. It delves into topics that have been overlooked in much of modern scholarship. It reinvestigates concepts and translates them into something that can be understood both physically and geographically. This work is an attempt to shed light on some of these concepts and the way they were perceived in early and later centuries. It lays the foundation and raises more questions for further scholarship.

MAPPING ISLAMICJERUSALEM: A Rediscovery of Geographical Boundaries
This monograph investigates the existence of the region of Islamicjerusalem and its extents throughout Muslim centuries.

The monograph examines critically both direct and general accounts referring to a region for Islamicjerusalem from the early Muslim period.
