Accident, preoccupations, and prudence were responsible for gaps. My book follows the strict order of time: but leaves out many by-plays. The dates here do not altogether agree with its text.

Damascus Azrak Kuneitra Ramleh Sebaste Um el Surab Ramleh Umtaiye Sinai Nueime Cairo Editor’s note The first edition of Seven Pillars of Wisdom, The Complete Text (Castle Hill Press, ) contains editorial notes on the Seven Pillars texts. These set out the basis for this ‘best text’, derived from Lawrence’s manuscript in the Bodleian Library, Oxford, and the amendments in his master-copy of the Oxford Times proof. In essence, the words used here are Lawrence’s, but the punctuation had to be revised for publication. Also, for the reader’s convenience, many inconsistencies in capitalisation and in the spellings of Arabic words have been eliminated. In addition to those acknowledged in the edition, I am particularly grateful to St. John Armitage for his comments on the Arabic names queried by Hazel Bell during her work preparing the index. I would also like to thank my wife Nicole for her help with the revisions in this new edition. Jeremy Wilson INDEX In Seven Pillars Lawrence frequently provides a surname only. He also claims to have disguised identities, particularly of minor characters. Despite this, comparison with contemporary documents shows that a large number of the names are real. In many instances it has been possible to add further information here, such as initials or forenames as well as rank and regiment. The ranks given, however, are indicative only, since there were many changes in rank, and temporary ranks, during the Revolt. Generally, the ranks given were held towards the end of the war. Place names beginning Jebel (hill) or Wadi (valley) are entered under the second element in the name. Entries entirely in are those given by Lawrence as chapter headings, or running titles in the subscribers’ abridgement of Seven Pillars of Wisdom. The arrangement of material within the entries is broadly chronological. Minor references with no qualifying description are listed in brackets at the appropriate place. Ill., following an entry, indicates that there is a photograph of the subject. Diary, followed by a month and year in the entry for a place name, indicates that the place is in Lawrence’s wartime pocket diaries for that month, see Appendix II.

    Proposal for a Thesis in the Field of History in Partial Fulfillment of Requirements for the Master of Liberal Arts Degree Harvard University Extension School January 16, 2015 Robert W. Goggin 1060 West Addison Street Chicago, IL 60603 (886) 555-1212 [email protected] I I propose to title my thesis “The Quest for T. E. Lawrence: The Enduring Appeal and the Enigma of Lawrence of Arabia.” II. Research Problem World War I is becoming increasingly distant and remote. Although the conflict on the Western Front in Europe was one of the cataclysmic events of the twentieth century, few would be able to offer more than a sentence about major military leaders: Foch, Haig, Ludendorff, Pershing. In all likelihood, people know best the common foot soldier Paul Baumer, the fictional protagonist of Erich Marie Remarque’s All Quiet on the Western Front. Yet in the Middle East, in a conflict of the British with the Turks often disparaged as a sideshow, emerged a leader internationally known: Thomas Edward Lawrence, Lawrence of Arabia. In 1919, the American journalist and entrepreneur Lowell Thomas opened “With Allenby in Palestine and Lawrence in Arabia,” a theatrical presentation of lecture, film, and photographs eventually seen by some four million people, including an array of British military and political leaders and Lawrence himself. The interest has continued unabated to the present day, with Michael Korda’s 2010 biography Hero: The Life and Legend of Lawrence of Arabia1 holding a place on best- seller lists for weeks. Why has there been such a sustained interest in Lawrence? More specifically, how has the focus of these works varied over the decades? What features of Lawrence 1 Michael Korda, Hero: The Life and Legend of Lawrence of Arabia (New York: HarperCollins, 2010).

  • The History of Implementation of Pilgrimage in the Pagan Era
    International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences 2017, Vol. 7, No. 12 ISSN: 2222-6990 The History of Implementation of Pilgrimage in the Pagan Era 1Rizalman Muhammad, 2Faiz Hakimi Mat Idris, 3Kamaliah Salleh, 2Ahmad Zahid Salleh, 2Mohamad Zaidin Mohamad 1Institut Pendidikan Guru, Ipoh Campus, Malaysia 2Faculty of Islamic Contemporary Studies, UniSZA, Malaysia 3Faculty of Law, Accountancy & International Relations, UniSZA, Malaysia Email: [email protected] DOI: 10.6007/IJARBSS/v7-i12/3636 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.6007/IJARBSS/v7-i12/3636 Abstract The first pilgrimage performed by the Prophet Abraham which was in the 20th century BC had eventually been mixed with polytheism and heresy elements before Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) was sent to this world. In this regard, this article aims to reveal the ritual of the hajj in the ancient Arab society which is different from the current practice of Muslims nowadays. This article is a qualitative study using content analysis. The finding reveals that although Arab community remained to believe in Allah, but in view to the long gap between the two ages of Prophet Abraham and Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H.), they had mixed up the implementation of a true and wrong rituals in their pilgrimage. Keywords: Pilgrimage, Pagan Arabs, Kaaba, Mecca Introduction The term Jahiliyyah is derived from jahl which connotes a description of pre-Islamic Arab society who were ignorance of the God, the prophets, the way of life, and who were also arrogantly and imperiously proud of their lineage (Ibn Manzur n.d.). It was a dark age of the Arab history with the absence of divine light to guide their faith, and their lives were fully deviated and strayed from the religious method.

  • James J. Schneider, Guerrilla Leader: TE Lawrence and the Arab Revolt. New York, NY
    Journal of Military and Strategic VOLUME 14, ISSUE 2, 2012 Studies James J. Schneider, Guerrilla Leader: T.E. Lawrence and the Arab Revolt. New York, NY: Bantam Books, 2011. Bruce E. Stanley James J. Schneider is Professor Emeritus of Military Theory formerly at the School of Advanced Military Studies, US Army Command and General Staff College, Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. Schneider has written extensively on military theory. He is best known for his original work on the development of the theory of operational art, which heavily influenced the education and doctrine of the US Army from the mid- 1980’s to the present. Schneider is currently working on the theory of strategic design. His work on military theory, the theory of operational art, and strategic leadership are the lens through which Schneider analyzes T.E. Lawrence as a guerrilla leader during ©Centre of Military and Strategic Studies, 2012 ISSN : 1488-559X JOURNAL OF MILITARY AND STRATEGIC STUDIES the Arab Revolt. The narrative that Schneider presents covers Lawrence’s experience as a British military advisor to the Arab Revolt from October 1916 to September 1918. The author asserts that “to the extent that Lawrence had any kind of impression among the military – any military – it was when he resonated with a particular kind of rare officer; the military intellectual who saw Seven Pillars of Wisdom [Lawrence’s autobiographical account of the period] and other writings as a psychological and intellectual window into the mind of a desert warrior and guerrilla leader” (xxi-xxii). As such, the author’s goal is to examine Lawrence’s crucial role in the early transformation of the Middle East while he lead the Arab revolt against the Turkish Empire.

  • The Holy Kabah History
    http://www.kabahinfo.net/eng-php/contents.php Highlights on History It has been confirmed orally that the Arabian Peninsula was the cradle of an advanced civilization since the beginning of human history. These civilizati ons successively flourished and declined, settling in the fertile parts of the Arabian Peninsula. Sometimes they isolated themselves but usually they had contact with their neighbours. There were, at different times, Old drawing Al-Masjid Al-Haram Tasm, Jadees, Saba'a and Aad in -the so uth and Thamud and Madyan were in the north. These civilizations prospered and perished, but Allah, the All-Wise, desired that the cultural history of this peninsula be perpetual. Its actual history started when Allah, the Almighty, honoured it by sending Abraham, the Father of the Prophets (peace be upon him), to build the Ancient House and settle with his family in the heart of this peninsula. Makkah, at that time an arid area, was designated as Umm UI Qura (Mother of Cities). The offspring of Ismail Ibn Ibrahim (peace be upon them) multiplied after they had raised the foundations of the Sacred House. This arid valley was changed, becoming the direction of the hearts and the place of assembly for Muslims, it nourished their spirits and refreshed their souls and fruits were brought to them from all parts of the world.
