Jihad and its Interpretation in Pre-Colonial Morocco
This book investigates the importance of waging jihad for legitimacy in pre-colonial Morocco. It counters colonial interpretations of the pre-colonial Moroccan sultanate as hopelessly divided into territories of 'obedience' and 'dissidence' by suggesting that state-society warfare was one aspect of a constant process of political negotiation. Detailed analysis of state and society interpretations of jihad during the critical period of the French conquest of Algeria clearly shows this process at play and its steady evolution in the context of increasing European pressure, which culminated in the imposition of the French protectorate in 1912.
The Silent Qur'an and the Speaking Qur'an
Two major events occurred in the early centuries of Islam that determined its historical and spiritual development in the centuries that followed: the formation of the sacred scriptures, namely the Qur'an and the Hadith, and the chronic violence that surrounded the succession of the Prophet, manifesting in repression, revolution, massacre, and civil war. This is the first book to evaluate the writing of Islam's major scriptural sources within the context of these bloody, brutal conflicts. Conducting a philological and historical study of little-known though significant ancient texts, Mohammad Ali Amir-Moezzi rebuilds a Shi'ite understanding of Islam's early history and the genesis of its holy scriptures. At the same time, he proposes a fresh interpretative framework and a new data set for theorizing the early history of Islam, isolating the contradictions between Shi'ite and Sunni sources and their contribution to the tensions that rile these groups today.
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.
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...
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).
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...
Mohammed
Von Legenden überwuchert, durch Sprachregelungen entstellt, von Denkverboten verdunkelt, so zeigt sich dem Wissbegierigen das Bild Mohammeds. Ist er überhaupt eine historische Gestalt? Er ist es! So lautet das Ergebnis langjähriger Forschungsarbeit, die nicht nur die muslimischen Standardquellen einer kritischen Prüfung unterzogen hat, sondern auch die vielschichtige "Nebenüberlieferung". Mohammed erweist sich als der Exponent einer im 4. Jahrhundert einsetzenden hochreligiösen Durchdringung des arabischen Heidentums, die sich nicht nur im Koran niedergeschlagen hat. Der historische Mohammed kämpfte zunächst vergeblich um die Macht in Mekka und setzte dann von Medina aus eine Eroberu...
The Men of Madina
This book is the translation of Volume 7 of the Kitab at-Tabaqat al-Kabir of Ibn Sa?d which deals with the Companions, Tabi?un and the subsequent generations of the people of knowledge in Basra, Baghdad, Khurasan, Syria and Egypt. This book is of particular interest because its pages demonstrate the attitude and action of the Companions and the Tabi?un when confronted by the most dangerous of trials ? fitna, or civil war. This is extremely important in the modern age, in which fitna is commonplace, for we can learn a great deal from how the early Muslims dealt with it.
