Al-Siyasah al-Sharia is a book by Abdel Wahab Khallaf, who enrolled in Al-Azhar in 1900 after memorizing the Holy Quran in one of the town's “Kutatibs.” He joined the ranks of students at the Sharia Judiciary School upon its opening and graduated from it in 1915, and was the first in his class to be appointed a teacher in the same year.
