Encyclopedia of Canonical Ḥadīth
This encyclopedic work on Islam comprises English translations of all canonical ḥadīths, complete with their respective chains of transmission (isnāds). By conflating the variant versions of the same ḥadīth, the repetitiveness of its literature has been kept wherever possible to a minimum. The latest methods of isnād analysis, described in the general introduction, have been employed in an attempt to identify the person(s) responsible for each ḥadīth. The book is organized in the alphabetical order of those persons. These are the so-called ‘common links’. Each of them is listed with the tradition(s) for the wording of which he can be held accountable, or with which he can at l...
The Islamic Law of War
Al-Dawoody examines the justifications and regulations for going to war in both international and domestic armed conflicts under Islamic law. He studies the various kinds of use of force by both state and non-state actors in order to determine the nature of the Islamic law of war.
Aqrābād̲īn
This book offers a critical Arabic edition, annotated English translation, introductory study, and two-way glossaries of the famous dispensatory composed around the middle of the 12th century CE by the Nestorian physician Ibn at-Tilm . The dispensatory, recognized as a masterpiece already by mediaeval contemporaries, soon after its appearance became the pharmacological standard work in the hospitals and apothecs of Baghdad and the wider Arab East, replacing, after almost 300 years, the vademecum of S?b?r ibn Sahl. The dispensatory of Ibn at-Tilmi? marks the apogee and the conclusion of centuries of medico-pharmacological development in the Arab world, and it is therefore absolutely essential for a critical understanding of mediaeval Arabic medicine and pharmacy in particular, and premodern science in general.
Custom in Islamic Law and Legal Theory
This book explores the relationship between custom and Islamic law and seeks to uncover the role of custom in the construction of legal rulings. On a deeper level, however, it deals with the perennial problem of change and continuity in the Islamic legal tradition (or any tradition for that matter).
The Epistle of Salim Ibn Dhakwan
The epistle ascribed to Salim Ibn Dhakwan is a tract against 'wrong' doctrines regarding the classification and treatment of opponents. Written by an Ibadi before AD 800 and taking issue with both Kharijite extremists and Murji'ites, it was brought to the attention of Western Islamicists in the early 1970s by Amr Khalifa Ennami, and is here edited, translated, and discussed in full for the first time. The early centuries of Islamic religious thought have become a dynamic field in the last few years, and there is renewed interest in the attempt to use the early literature of the Muslim sects as windows onto the wider scene of doctrinal discussion in the period before the mainstream tradition becomes plentiful. In addition to making available a new source, this study seeks to open up the Ibadi tradition for future research on early Islamic thought, partly by making heavy use of Ibadi sources in its interpretation of Salim's epistle and by partly by offering systematic information about the Ibadi figures and literary works involved in the appendices and bibliography.
Religious Scholars and the Umayyads
Religious Scholars and the Umayyads analyzes legal and theological developments during the Marwānid period (64/684--132/750), focusing on religious scholars who supported the Umayyads. Their scholarly network extended across several generations and significantly influenced the development of the Islamic faith. Umayyad qādòīs, who represented the intersection of religious authority and imperial power, were particularly important. This book challenges the long-standing paradigm that the emerging Muslim faith was shaped by religious dissenters who were hostile to the Umayyads. A prosopographical analysis of Umayyad-era scholars demonstrates that piety and opposition were not necessarily syn...
Die Reisen des Ibn Battuta. Band 1
Auf 120 000 Kilometer hat man die gesamte Reisestrecke geschätzt, die Ibn Battuta im 14. Jahrhundert zu Pferd und Kamel, zu Schiff, im Ochsenwagen und in der Sänfte zurücklegte. Siebenundzwanzig Jahre lang reiste der Marokkaner bis an die Grenzen der damals bekannten Welt. Er lernte Heilige und Wandermönche, Könige, Sultane und Despoten in den entlegensten Teilen der muslimischen Reiche kennen, während er die heiligen Stätten des Islam besuchte: Bagdad, Mekka, Kairo und Damaskus, aber auch Indien, die Malediven und China sind seine Stationen. Nach einem kurzen Besuch Spaniens und einer zweijährigen Reise nach Mali und Niger legte der rastlos Reisende den Wanderstab endgültig zur Seite. Der Bericht, den er nach seiner Rückkehr diktierte, trug ihm nicht nur in der arabischen Welt den Beinamen des größten Reisenden des Islam ein. Der erste Band führt den Leser über Ägypten, Syrien und Persien weiter bis Südrußland, nach Konstantinopel und schließlich von der Wolga an den Indus.
Imam Shafi'i
Muhammad ibn Idris al-Shafi'i (767-820) was one of Islam's foundational legal thinkers. Shafi'i considered law vital to social and cosmic order: the key obligation of each Muslim was to obey God, and it was through knowing and following the law that human beings fulfilled this duty. Drawing on the most recent scholarship on Shafi'i's work as well as her own investigations into his life and writings, Kecia Ali explores Shafi'i's innovative ideas about the nature of revelation and the necessary if subordinate role of human reason in extrapolating legal rules from revealed texts. This study sketches his life in his intellectual and social context, including his engagement with other early figures including Malik and Muhammad al-Shaybani. It explores the development and refinement of his legal method and substantive teachings as well as their transmission by his students. It also shows how he became the posthumous "patron saint" of a legal school, who remains today a figure of popular interest and veneration as well as a powerful symbol of orthodoxy.
Allahs Liebling
Vor aller Zeit geschaffen ist Mohammed "Allahs Liebling", denn indem er ihn schuf, bewies er sich als der Schöpfer. Als Mohammed im ausgehenden 6. Jahrhundert in die irdische Existenz trat, begann der Äon des Muslims. Ihm allein steht wahres Wissen zur Verfügung, das ihm, übermittelt durch Mohammed, von Allah her zufloss. Um dieser Übermittlung willen muss der Muslim seinen Propheten uneingeschränkt verehren, sein Handeln und Denken nachahmen. Der geringste Zweifel an ihm ist verderblich und daher strengstens zu bestrafen. Tilman Nagel beschreibt die Herausbildung und den Inhalt des Mohammedglaubens und macht den Leser umfassend mit dem Gedankengut bekannt, das einer Einfügung der Mus...
