18th century writer Samuel Johnson once said, “When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford.”
Much has changed in London since the 18th century, but the sentiment of Johnson’s statement is perhaps more apt than ever.

It’s steeped in history, diversity and regardless of where your passions and interests lie, you’ll find an outlet for them in this wonderful city. If you’re preparing to live in London, here’s a little teaser of what’s in store and what to look forward to as a new Londoner.
Mukhtasar Khalil (often simply “Mukhtasar al-Khalil”) is a classic Maliki fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) manual composed by the 14th-century Maliki scholar Khalil ibn Ishaq al-Jundi (d. 1365 CE). It is a concise, highly compressed compendium of Maliki legal rulings used widely across North and West Africa and other Maliki communities. Because of its terseness, Mukhtasar Khalil became a standard text for students and scholars; numerous commentaries and teaching aids were written to unpack its dense aphorisms.
