Lewis, Bernard(editor and translator). Islam: from the Prophet Muhammad to the Capture of Constantinople: Volume II Religion and Society. Harper& Row, New York; 1974.
The full source name for pages 40-42 is:
Al-Mawardi, Abu'l-Hasan 'Ali ibn Muhammad. Al-Ahkam al-Sultaniyaya Cairo (Mahmudiyya), n.d., p. 61-63.
The most salient point is from page 41:
"The fourth condition is Islam, becase this is a necessary condition for the right to testify... ".
I certainly hope the Turkish nation evolves one day from the traditions of medieval Islam mentioned on these pages.
