Morocco in the Early Atlantic World, 1415-1603 A
MOROCCO IN THE EARLY ATLANTIC WORLD, 1415-1603 A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History By Earnest W. Porta, Jr., J.D. Washington, DC June 20, 2018 Copyright 2018 by Earnest W. Porta, Jr. All Rights Reserved ii MOROCCO IN THE EARLY ATLANTIC WORLD, 1415-1603 Earnest W. Porta, Jr., J.D. Dissertation Advisor: Osama Abi-Mershed, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Over the last several decades, a growing number of historians have conceptualized the Atlantic world as an explanatory analytical framework, useful for studying processes of interaction and exchange. Stretching temporally from the 15th into the 19th century, the Atlantic world framework encompasses more than simply the history of four continents that happen to be geographically situated around what we now recognize as the Atlantic basin. It offers instead a means for examining and understanding the transformative impacts that arose from the interaction of European, African, and American cultures following the European transatlantic voyages of the 15th and 16th centuries. Though it has not been extensively studied from this perspective, during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries Morocco possessed geopolitical characteristics that uniquely situated it within not only the Islamic world, but the developing Atlantic world as well. This study considers Morocco’s involvement in the early Atlantic world by examining three specific phases of its involvement. The first phase lasts approximately one hundred years and begins with the Portuguese invasion of Ceuta in 1415, considered by some to mark the beginning of European overseas expansion. -

Metamorphosis in the Ifriqiyan Cocoon: Ḥafṣid State Formation
Metamorphosis in the Ifriqiyan Cocoon: Ḥafṣid State Formation, Diplomacy, and Transformation, 1220-1450 Amel Bensalim A thesis submitted to the graduate program in History in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada August 2021 Copyright © Amel Bensalim, 2021 Abstract Over the course of three centuries, from 1229 to 1574, Ifriqiya was ruled by the Ḥafṣid dynasty. Claiming to be inheritors of the great Almohad administrative and ideological tradition, the Ḥafṣids came to power when the Islamicate world, and medieval Mediterranean in general, were particularly tumultuous. Although faced with economic hardship, foreign and domestic threats, diplomatic pressures, and other challenges, the Ḥafṣid state managed to weather them all and survive – in various forms – for several centuries. Using primary source chronicles, correspondences, treaties, and other documents, as well as a solid foundation of secondary scholarship, this thesis explores the phases of Ḥafṣid state formation and how they transformed and adapted over the course of three centuries. Contrary to previous assessments, the Ḥafṣid state was a dynamic polity that utilized diplomatic tactics, trade deals, and maritime activity in order to maintain their state and diplomatic interests. Periods of instability catalyzed transformation and adaptation that eventually yielded a more centralized state with sophisticated ideological, legal, and administrative structures.

‘IFRAJALISM’: THE [EUROPEA] OTHER I MEDIEVAL ARABIC LITERATURE AD CULTURE, 9 th -12 th CETURY (A.D.) by izar F. Hermes A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Comparative Literature University of Toronto Copyright by izar F. Hermes (2009) Abstract of Thesis for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2009 Centre for Comparative Literature, University of Toronto ‘Ifranjalism’: The [European] Other in Medieval Arabic Literature and Culture, 9th -12 th Century (A.D.) by Nizar F. Hermes Many western scholars of the Middle East such as Bernard Lewis have too often claimed that medieval Arabs/Muslims did not exhibit any significant desire to discover the cultures, literatures and religions of non-Muslim peoples. Perhaps no less troubling is their assertion that only Europeans are endowed with the gift of studying foreign cultures and traveling into alien lands. In the same connection, without intending to ‘add fire’ to the already fiery polemic over Edward Said’s Orientalism , it must be said that very few of Said’s critics and defenders alike have discussed the counter, or reverse, tradition of Orientalism especially as found in the rich corpus of Classical Arabic Literature. Through introducing and exploring a cross-generic selection of non-religious Arabic prose and poetic texts such as the geo-cosmographical literature, récits de voyages , diplomatic memoirs, captivity narratives, pre-Crusade and Crusade poetry, all of which were written from the 9 th to the 12 th century(A.D.), this dissertation will present both an argument for and a demonstration of the proposition that there was no shortage of medieval Muslims who cast curious eyes and minds towards the Other and that more than a handful of them were textually and physically interested in Europe and the Euro- Christians they encountered inside and outside dār al-Islām. -

NASKH Al-QUR'an
NASKH Al-QUR’AN A Theological And Juridical Reconsideration Of The Theory Of Abrogation And Its Impact On Qur’anic Exegesi s _____________________________________________ A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board _____________________________________________ in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY _____________________________________________ by Roslan Abdul-Rahim January, 2011 Examining Committee Members: Khalid Y. Blankinship, Advisory Chair, Department of Religion Mahmoud M. Ayoub, Department of Religion Robert B. Wright, Department of Religion Zameer U. Hasan, Department of Physics ii by Roslan Abdul-Rahim 2011 All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT The Qur’an has always been a medium through and upon which Islam and the Muslim faith are structured and built. It mediates the relationship between Muslims and God. Despite its alleged divine origin, the Qur’an as a scriptural and textual reality remains to be understood by Muslims. Many theories and principles have been developed out of the long Qur’anic interpretive tradition to address the Muslims’ theological and legal needs. One of the most interesting, yet controversial, exegetical legal theories is the theory of naskh , a theory stipulating the abrogation of a verse of the Qur’an by another. The discourse of naskh raises many unsettling theological and legal questions. The present proposed research attempts to reassess the early Muslim understanding of the theory of Qur’anic abrogation. It raises fundamental questions about -

CONTRIBUTIONS OF MEDIEVAL ARAB-MUSLIM SCIENTISTS TO BOTANY AND AGRICULTURE ABSTRACT THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE AWARD Of THE DEGREE OF 23ottor of $[)tIo£(op()p J' ISLAMIC STUDIES ROHMA Under the Supervision of Prof. Sayyid Ahsan DEPARTMENT OF ISLAMIC STUDIES ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH (INDIA) 2008 p ABSTRACT ^ r\ Contribution of Medieval Arab Muslim Scientists to Botany and Agriculture Abstract Between the middle of the S'*' and the beginning of the 13* Centuries, the Arabic speaking people were the main bearers of the torch of culture and civilization throughout the world. Moreover ihey were the medium through which ancient science and philosophy were recovered, supplemented and transmitted in such a way as to make possible the renaissance of Western Europe. As every civilization and culture has its Golden Age, likewise the medieval period of Muslim Empire is called the golden period of Arab- Muslims. During that period medieval Arab Muslim scientists contributed a great deal to the advancement of knowledge and learning in almost all the major branches of life sciences and exact sciences. The present study deals with "Contribution of Medieval Arab, Muslim Scientists to Botany and Agriculture". In the field of natural history, especially botany and agriculture the Arab-Muslims enriched the world by their researches. They made correct observations on sexual differences between different plants. They classified plants into different categories like those that grow from cuttings, those that grow from seeds and those that grow spontaneously. By their researches and observations they had advanced botany and agriculture on modem lines. In this thesis emphasis is made on different aspects of botany and agriculture by dividing the thesis into six chapters attempt has been made to assimilate all the information relevant the topic of the thesis. -
Arabic Manuscripts on Islamic Law
ARABIC MANUSCRIPTS ON ISLAMIC LAW Abstract The collection covers a wide period, with manuscripts dating from the 12th to the 20th century C.E. One of the earliest works is SOAS, no. 83, a copy dated Dhu'l-Qa`da 585/December-January 1189-90 of al-Fiqh al-nafi` by al-Samarqandi (d. 556/1161). Another 12th century work, Husam al-Din al-Bukhari's al-Fara'id al-Husamiyah (SOAS, no. 70), dates from the same month. The 18th and 19th centuries are particularly well represented, not only by works belonging to the legal canon of the period - like Abu Hanifa's Al-fiqh al-akbar, the Fatawa Qadikhan, and al-Halabi's Multaqa al-abhur (Mingana, nos. 181, 204, and 1074, resp.) – but also by treatises reflecting the legal debates of the period, like works on the permissibility of smoking, and drinking coffee (Mingana, nos. 1072, 1075, 1077).
