THE RISE of the FATIMIDS in NORTH AFRICA (280-296 A.H./893-909 C.E.) by WAN ASMA BINTI WAN IBRAHIM a Thesis Submitted in Fulfilm THE RISE OF THE FATIMIDS IN NORTH AFRICA (280-296 A.H./893-909 C.E.) BY WAN ASMA BINTI WAN IBRAHIM A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Master of Human Sciences (History and Civilization) Kulliyyah of Islamic Revealed Knowledge and Human Sciences International Islamic University Malaysia AUGUST 2014 ABSTRACT This research examines local factors that helped the rise of the Fatimids in North Africa in 296 A.H./909 C.E. The socio-religious, political and economic conditions of the region provided fertile ground for the Isma'ili dāʿī, Abū ʿAbd Allāh al-Shīʿī to implement his da’wa strategies. The prevalence of Islam in the region and its sectarian groups facilitated the acceptance of the Isma'ili doctrine among the populace. The poor control of the ʿAbbasids over the region and the emergence of local independent states such as the Midrarids, Rustamids and Idrisids convinced the Fatimids to select the North Africa as their stronghold, with the promise of establishing their state based on the rich sub-Saharan trade. Thus, when the internal turbulence faced by the Isma'ilis in Salamiyya forced the Imām to flee, he naturally headed to North Africa due to the encouraging progress of his dāʿī there. The Aghlabids’ meanwhile had successfully alienated all potential sources of support and the general public, antagonising the religious institutions and Arab militias and levying large cash taxes on the population in the late third/ninth century, making the Fatimids appear to be rescuers to many inhabitants. Al-Shīʿī approached a local proto-Shīʿa community, the Kutama, who later became the stalwart of his military forces, ingratiating himself with them as a religious teacher and then leader. Having consolidated his control over this tribe, al-Shīʿī went on to forge a multi-tribal confederation that swept across North Africa and destroyed the Aghlabid mercenary forces. Furthermore, the last Aghlabid amīr, Ziyādat Allāh III, failed to secure his own people’s confidence due to his corrupt administrative system and dissolute court. Al-Shīʿī also successfully conquered the important trade cities such as Qayrawān, Tahart and Sijilmasa, permanently securing his supplies and making North Africa the engine of the Fatimid aspiration to statehood. ii ملخص البحث هذا البحث يسلط الضوء على العوامل احمللية اليت ساعدت الفاطميني على السيطرة على مشال إفريقيا يف سنة 692ه/909م. وبني أن الظروف اﻻجتماعية والدينية واﻷوضاع السياسية واﻻقتصادية يف املنطقة شكلت أرضية خصبة للداعي اﻹمساعيلي، أبو عبد اهلل الشيعي، أن ينفذ الدعوة له. وانتشرت العقيدة اﻹمساعيلية بسهولة بني اجلماهري ﻷجل اجلماعات الطائفية يف املنطقة. وكذلك بسبب عدم قدرة العباسيني على السيطرة على بعض املناطق، فظهرت الدول املستقلة احمللية مثل املدرارية، الرستمية، واﻹدريسية وغريهم. وكل هذا جعل الفاطميني خيتارون مشال إفريقيا بوصف ذلك املنطقة معقﻻً هلم مع الغاية بإقامة دولتهم استناداً على جتارة الصحراء الغنية. وملا فر اﻹمام اﻹمساعيلي من سلمية بسبب اﻻضطرابات الداخلية تواجه اﻹمساعيليني، توجه اﻹمام إىل مشال إفريقيا من أجل نشر الدعوة له هناك. اﻷغالبة يف أواخر القرن الثالث اهلجري/التاسع امليﻻدي اﻻعتداء على املؤسسات الدينية وامليليشيات العربية وفرض ضرائب نقدية كبرية على السكان يف مشال إفريقيا، وهذا مما جعل الفاطمي ون يظهرون لينقذ ون العديد من السكان. الشيعي حينئذ إقرتب اىل اجملتمع احمللي املنتسب للتشيع، الكتامة، الذين أصبح فيما بعد نص ًريا لقواته العسكرية، ويعرض نفسه عليهم بوصفه معلما دينيا وزعيما هلم. وبعد سيطرته على هذه القبيلة، ذهب الشيعي إىل تشكيل اﻻحتاد بني القبائل املتعددة اليت اجتاحت مشال إفريقيا ودمرت قوات اﻷغالبة العسكرية. وفوق ذلك كلها، أن آخر أمري اﻷغالبة، زيادة اهلل الثالث، مل يستطع أن يقنع الشعىب يف منطقته على ثقته نظراً ﻷن النظام اﻹداري كانت فاسدة واحلك ومة املاجنة. وبذلك جنح الشيعي يف غزو املدن التجارية املهمة مثل القريوان، وتاهرت، وسجلماسة، بشكل دائم على إمداداهتا وجعل مشال إفريقيا احملرك لتنظم إقامة الدولة الفاطمية. iii APPROVAL PAGE I certify that I have supervised and read this study and that in my opinion it conforms to acceptable standards of scholarly presentation and is fully adequate, in scope and quality, as a thesis for the degree of Master of Human Sciences (History and Civilization). .................………...……….….

The Berbers found in this new religious allegiance an attractive ideology with which to rebel against the central caliphate. An Ibadi imamate, headed by the Rustamid dynasty, was founded in Tahart in 160 or 162/777 or 779 and lasted until 296/909, when it fell to the Fatimids. The book is divided into seven chapters, an introduction and a conclusion. After a briefintroduction to the lbadiyya and a survey of the Ibadi sources, the successive chapters examine the nature and ideological underpinnings of the lbadi imamate and its consolidation in North Africa, the economic bases of the lbadi policy, some evidence of Christian support for (even influence on) the Ibadiyya, the tribal alliances of the Ibadis, and finally, the coune of lbadism after the fill of the Rustamids in 296/909.

The great Saharan desert, the biggest desert on earth (measuring approximately 9,000,000 km2), has always been seen as a natural and formidable barrier between the people living to its north and the people living to its south. It may seem as a barrier, but in reality it was not so. Although the Sahara seems daunting – it stretches all the way from Mauritania to the Red Sea (approximately 5,600km) and from the Libyan Sirtica to Lake Chad and the River Niger (approximately 2,000km) – it is lined with oases that make it possible to hop from one oasis to the next. Therefore it has always been possible to cross the Sahara, as did numerous travelling scholars and men of religion, raiding warriors and profit-seeking traders carrying ideas, influences, warfare and goods and commodities into and across the desert. The romantic images of the Sahara show it as a vast mass of sand dunes, this is incorrect; only one-fifth of the Sahara is covered with these sand dunes and only one-fifteenth of the Sahara consists of the dreaded and avoided “deserts within desert”, this is considered to be the “land of fear” due to its deep sand; the Libyan Desert, the Téneré of north-East Niger and the great Ergs of the Algerian Sahara.

  • The Development of the Ash'arite Doctrine in North Africa
    E-ISSN 2281-4612 Academic Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies Vol 4 No 3 ISSN 2281-3993 MCSER Publishing, Rome-Italy November 2015 The Development of the Ash‘arite Doctrine in North Africa: Building of Theological, Political and Religious Unity Dr. Tarek Ladjal Effat University. Jeddah Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Doi:10.5901/ajis.2015.v4n3p291 Abstract Understanding the socio-cultural identity of contemporary North Africa (Maghreb) and the background of much of its political development should not be held away from its religious, theological and juristic history. The reason being that neglect of the religious history of the region only obscures our vision of the real driving forces shaping much of today’s religious and cultural progress in the Maghreb. This study examines the historical stages and characteristics of the Ash‘arite intellectual development in the Maghreb while exploring factors contributing to the shaping of its intellectual unity. The scope of this inquiry is to examine the historical and intellectual evolution of Asharism in the Maghreb; some of its profound implications on society, religious instruction, and eventually the political history of the region will also be inspected. This research touches on fundamental evolutionary stages in the formation and consolidation of Ash‘arism in the Maghreb, each of which exerts socio-political implications on the region while also reflecting the intellectual, political and cultural interaction with the Muslim East. This research is instrumental to the understanding of the efforts made by respective governments in the Maghreb to strengthen Ash‘arism to preserve viable and sustainable unity between Muslims in the region.

  • Chapter 6: the EARLY ABBASID DYNASTY THE
    Chapter 6: THE EARLY ABBASID DYNASTY THE ABBASIDS COME TO POWER One of the first decisions that Abu al-Abbas took when he became the first khalif of the Abbasid dynasty was to order the death of Abu Muslim, the military leader from his own tribe in Khurasan that ended the reign of the Ummayads and brought him to power. The new capital Baghdad (close to the former Persian capital Ctesiphon) became the center of power for the Abbasids who drew heavily on Persian expertise to rule and to administer. Whereas Ummayad power was concentrated in the hands of Arabs, the Abbasids relied on newly converted non-Arab Muslims. At the beginning of the Abbasid dynasty, less than 10 % of the population in Syria, Iraq, Iran, Egypt, Tunisia and Spain was Muslim. That fraction was heavily represented in the cities and government centers where former Persian and Byzantine civil servants had converted and were serving in the army and in the administration. There was no incentive for others in rural parts to convert. Some of these new Muslims were full-time salaried servants under the authority of the khalif. This environment created a period of strong centralized government which led to great economic prosperity. The apogee of the early Abbasid dynasty happened during the reign of Harun al-Rashid (who ruled from 786 to 809). The classic tales in the “Thousand and One Nights” describe the level of prosperity of Baghdad at that time. At the death of Harun al-Rashid, his two sons, al-Amin and al-Ma’mun started a civil war.

  • A Historical Analysis on the Moderate Policy of the Rustamid Dynasty) Ahmad Choirul Rofiq Institut Agama Islam Negeri Ponorogo [email protected]
    Sosial Politik Humaniora http://journal.umpo.ac.id/index.php/aristo/ [email protected] Moderation and Civilization (A Historical Analysis on the Moderate Policy of the Rustamid Dynasty) Ahmad Choirul Rofiq Institut Agama Islam Negeri Ponorogo [email protected] Abstract The Rustamid Dynasty (160-296 AH / 776-909 AD) was a remarkable Ibadite dynasty. Unfortunately, most of the historical works have paid little attention to the development of Islamic civilization during the Rustamid reign. This fact is very contrary to the study of Sunnite or Shi’ite dynasties. This paper shows that the Rustamids performed their moderate policy by giving great tolerance, freedom, and equality to all citizens who lived in their territory, especially in Tahert (part of Algeria) and Jabal Nafusah (part of Libya). Consequently, this moderate policy, which was encouraged by the moderate Ibadite doctrine, had influence on the establishment of Islamic civilization in the Maghrib. The Rustamids successively played a significant role in economic prosperity, intellectual development, and Islamization. Like the Rustamids, the plural society of Indonesia can obtain the achievements of civilization by maintaining their multicultural diversity. Hence, the Indonesian government, the Muslim organizations, and all of the Muslim people should promote tolerant Islamic teachings and support intellectual movement. Keyword: the Ibadites, the Rustamids, Moderate Policy, Islamic Civilization Submite : 30 November 2017 Review : 20 Maret 2018 Accepted : 29 Juni 2018 Surel Corespondensi : [email protected] Introduction The Islamic history tells us that there was an Ibadite government in the Maghrib. It was the Rustamids (the Rustumids) who accomplished their regime for over a century.

GeoJournal of Tourism and Geosites, 33(4spl), 1571–1578. https://doi.org/10.30892/gtg.334spl19-610 Abstract: Archaeological sites are currently considered as one of the most important tourism industry drivers, becoming an autonomous economy. Among the most outstanding archaeological sites in Algeria is the fort of Bani Hammad. This site is the first archaeological site classified by UNESCO in 1980, located in central Algeria in M'sila province. Given its importance, we conducted a scientific study to highlight its beautiful archaeological tourism components and national and international tourist attractions. Then, we revealed the tourism challenges and the physical and moral deterioration affecting this site. Also, we propose a preservation plan to promote this site’s tourist ic assets, enabling its transformation into a tourist destination competing with other archaeological sites in Algeria and the Maghreb; through a sustainable development plan of archaeological tourism, while preserving its historical identity and role.

During its peak, numerous Islamic dynasties had been developed which resulted in the creation of new forms of architecture. When Islam started rising, it focused on spreading its faith among people in the Arabian Peninsula. Later, it concentrated on expanding to neighbourhood districts outside the Arabian Peninsula reaching Iraq, Syria, Egypt, Iran, North Africa and parts of Europe. These expansions developed rapid transformation in Architecture. The enormous extent of the Islamic Empire had developed independent dynasties over time.

Ainsi, bien que la civilisation humaine au Maghreb remonte à des millénaires, ce n'est qu'à partir de l'Antiquité que cet espace commence à prendre sa forme actuelle en se scindant en trois régions-peuples : Maghreb oriental, Maghreb central et Maghreb occidental. La région-peuple du Maghreb central évoluera au fil des siècles en l'État nation algérien moderne. Cet article traite donc de l'histoire de l'Algérie, et non pas seulement de l'histoire de la République algérienne moderne. Préhistoire (-1,8 Ma à -7 500 ans) Bien que l'histoire elle-même soit un agrégat de périodes, celle-ci est elle aussi précédée d'une protohistoire et d'une préhistoire. Afin de présenter l'évolution d'un passé qui débouche sur l'histoire, cette partie de l'article retrace brièvement la fin de la préhistoire de l'Algérie. Les premières traces de peuplement d'hominidés en Algérie Éléphant à Illizi dans le sud de remonteraient à environ deux millions d'années av. J.-C. l'Algérie Site d'Aïn El Ahnech (-1,8 M) Le site d' Aïn El Ahnech, dans la wilaya de Sétif est considéré comme le plus ancien gisement archéologique d'Afrique du Nord. L'âge des vestiges est évalué par archéomagnétisme à 1,8 million d'années, coïncidant avec la période présumée de l'apparition de l'Homo habilis.
