  • The History of Al-Tabari
    The History of al-Tabari The Battle of al-Qadisiyyah and the Conquest of Syria and Palestine The Battle of al-Qadisiyyah and the Conquest of Syria and Palestine Volume XII Translated by Yohanan Friedmann The present volume of the History of al-TabarT deals with the years 14 and 15 of the Islamic era, which correspond to A.D. 635-637. The nascent Islamic state had just emerged victorious from the crisis that followed the Prophet's death in 632 and had suppressed what was known as the riddab ("apostasy") rebellion in the Arabian peninsula . Under the leadership of 'Umar b. al- Khattab, the second caliph, or successor to the Prophet Muhammad, the Muslims embarked on the conquests that would soon transform the whole of the Middle East and North Africa into an Arab empire. Most of the present volume describes the battle of al-Qadisiyyah, which took place on the border between the fertile Iraqi lowlands (al-sawid) and the Arabian desert and resulted in the decisive defeat of the Persian army. The Muslim victory at al-Qadisiyyah heralded the downfall of the Sasanian dynasty , which had ruled Persia and Meso- potamia since A.D., the third century ; it also paved the way for the conquest of Iraq and facilitated Islamic expansion into Persia and beyond. The volume also deals with the conquest of Syria and Palestine and the expulsion of the Byzantines from those regions. Particular attention is devoted to the traditions related to the conquest of Jerusalem at the hands of 'Umar b. al-Khattab, the first Muslim prayer on the Temple Mount, and its transformation into an Islamic sanctuary.

To my parents, Ishaq and }:liin, and all my teachers. 1ll ABSTRACT Abu ~amid al-Ghaza.11 is a major figure in Muslim thought and famous for his writings on theology and mysticism. Al-Ghazaff' s first career was that of a jurist and he had made major contributions to the jurisprudence of the Shafii school. As time goes on his juristic contributions are increasingly being relegated to a secondary level. This thesis attempts to place one of al-Ghazali' s last writings on legal theory (Uful ,al-.fiqh), al-Musta,sf<i, in perspective and evaluate its significance in the genre of u~ul al­ fiqh literature.
