Harun Al-Rashid and the World of the Thousand and One Nights
Harun al-Rashid, the legendary caliph portrayed in The Thousand and One Nights, was the son of a Yemenite slave who cleared Harun's path to power, very probably by poisoning her eldest son. Harun reigned for a quarter of a century, his empire spreading over south-west Asia and into north Africa. He waged war on the Byzantine Empire, and dealt ruthlessly with the religious and social insurrections which threatened his kingdom, executing almost the entire Barmakid family when they threatened to become too powerful. As well as being a ruthless soldier and politician Harun was also a great patron of the arts, and highly esteemed by Charlemagne. He turned Baghdad into a brilliant centre of cultur...

Reinterpreting Islamic Historiography
The history of the early Abbasid Caliphate has long been studied as a factual or interpretive synthesis of various accounts preserved in the medieval Islamic chronicles. Tayeb El-Hibri s book breaks with the traditional approach, applying a literary-critical reading to examine the lives of the caliphs. By focusing on the reigns of Harun al-Rashid and his successors, the study demonstrates how the various historical accounts were not in fact intended as faithful portraits of the past, but as allusive devices used to shed light on controversial religious, political and social issues of the period. The analysis also reveals how the exercise of decoding Islamic historigraphy, through an investigation of the narrative strategies and thematic motifs used in the chronicles, can uncover new layers of meaning and even identify the early narrators. This is an important book which represents a landmark in the field of early Islamic historiography.
The Road to Muhammad
?Inilah pemimpin, bermalam-malam terjaga, sedang umatnya tidur di ranjang raja-raja. Kala shalat, pelupuknya tergenang air mata. Duhai, belum pernah insan melahirkan putra semacam dia!??Dr. Muhammad Iqbalÿ Sepanjang sejarah, nyanyian kerinduan telah digemakan untuk sosok agung ini. Betapa tidak, dialah jalan menuju Allah Swt. Tak mungkin makhluk sampai pada cinta Tuhan, kecuali melalui Sang Utusan. Tak mungkin dahaga ruhani terpuaskan, bila tak menetes air mata kerinduan. Cinta Nabi Saw. adalah fitrah paling sejati. Ia adalah tonggak penopang agama Ilahi. Tetapi, kini suara nurani itu tertutupi. Berbagai cara dilakukan untuk menjauhkan orang dari cinta Nabi. Sejarah fiktif beredar. Riwayat ...

No Man's Land
The increased ability of clandestine groups to operate with little regard for borders or geography is often taken to be one of the dark consequences of a brave new globalized world. Yet even for terrorists and smugglers, the world is not flat; states exert formidable control over the technologies of globalization, and difficult terrain poses many of the same problems today as it has throughout human history. In No Man's Land, Justin V. Hastings examines the complex relationship that illicit groups have with modern technology—and how and when geography still matters. Based on often difficult fieldwork in Southeast Asia, Hastings traces the logistics networks, command and control structures,...
