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.
Poetics of Islamic Historiography
This book exposes the mimetic assumption involved in early Islamic historiography, its literary practice and whatever subverts it as reflected in Ṭabarī's History. Four major events in the history of early Islam are then subject to analysis based on literary criticism and are shown to produce a new meaning.
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 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.
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.
