The system of transliteration adopted here is that re­ commended hy the Royal Asiatic Society (JRAS, 1928, part I.) The hamzah is marked "by an * , and the Layn is marked by an ^ . Some words now common in the English language, though incorrectly transliterated/have beeh left in their usual form; e.g. Mecca and Medina. The nominative form of the word "Abu*1 is adhered to throughout; e.g. LAli b. Abu Talib, and Mu Lawiyah b. Abu Sufyan. The plural of many Arabic words is formed by adding the letter ws” to the original singular; e.g. Muhajlrs, hadiths, and imams. The Qur'anic references are quoted, from the versions current in Muslim States. Thes'e occasionally differ from the European texts of the same book (Plugel’d edition in particular,). In the gadith the number of the kitab is given first, followed by the number of the bab. If KrehlTs edition is used, the figure between brackets should be of help as it identifies the volume and page in which the particular badith may be found. Thus Bukh. 63:9 (iii:8), means kitab 63, bab 9 of any edition of Bukhari; in Krehl’s edition this tradition is found in volume iii, page 8. The notes appropriate to each chapter are given at its conclusion. The bibliography contains full reference to the books consulted. 1 IHTROD U 0 TIOI , 2 In this thesis an attempt is made to examine poli - tical theory and its practice in xslam. The survey begins with the hijrah or emigration of the prophet Muhammad from Mecca to Medina in 622 A.D., and ends with the close of the first century of the »<Abbasid caliphate in 232/847. It thus covers the four most important stages in the deve - 3opment of the Muslim Empire, namely: the politico-religious rule of the Prophet, the reign of the Orthodox Caliphs, the Umayyad dynasty, and the golden age of the lAbbasids. We shall, therefore, observe the growth of a otate from infancy to full manhood. by theory is meant the principles of goverijment enun­ ciated in the Qur’an, the ffadith or traditions attributed to the Prophet, and the views of the learned among the Muslims. By practice we mean the way in which the rulers actually con­ ducted the affairs of State. There is reason to believe that the difference between thought and action in the political history of Islam is Immense. While in theory religion is the primary motive of the behaviour of all believers In Allah, the practical application of the noble and lofty ideals em­ bodied in Islam has on the whole been sadly disappointing. As Arbuthnot says,”the Muhammadan religion may be regarded as creating in theory the purest democracy in existence... but in practice the ways of the world are different." (1) It is this particular relationship that we shall endeavour 3 to test and expound In the following pages. with few exceptions, political considerations derived from the worst kinds of blind lust for power outweighed the religious. The fundamentals of belief and worship changed but little all through the different periods of Islam, but the management of government varied greatly in the course of time and was subject to the Influence of men. ihe successes and failures of the Muslim Empire were not adventitious, rather they were the result of causes amenable to invest­ igation and account. The Muslims founded an empire because they followed the path of imperial races. «hen they weak­ ened in energy and resolution their empire was lost and they gave way to more determined and ambitious people. The method of argument followed here is partly Muslim and partly objective. The first is by no means the anti­ thesis of the second; but since each has a particular field and apjjroach, the division seems necessary. religion is primarily a matter of conviction and is established on belief; philosophy on zne other hand, is essentially the outcome of critical, systematic, and rational thinking. doth aspects have their contribution to bhe life of Islam. @y.f task, then, is to discover whether, and if so, under what conditions, the political side of Muslim history could be attributed to premeditated thought. we shall try to find out whether the i-rophet had established his plans for 4 the government of his people on rational grounds, or just followed his intuitive faculties in all matters temporal and spiritual. ' We also want to decide whether his suc­ cessors - who could not strictly speaking lay claims to divine inspiration - had a political aim well thought out and carefully constructed, or just followed in the steps of their prophet. Since the Muslim State was a reality in the history of the world, and continued vigorously for at least four centuries, it would he necessary to assess how' it functioned, and judge whether it kept its structure intact as a result of conscious efforts to keep it alive, or whether it continued its course through the original momentum of the first wave of conquests in the name of Allah and Islam. To all Muslims the Qur’an and the Hadlth are the main springs of guidance in all matters. These two sources fere s considered as direct and indirect revelation- of God. This attitude, though exaggerated, is not wholly unreasonable; for had it not been for Tslam as a religion none of the other aspects of civilisation built on that foundation could have originated. As Prof. Browne says,11 it was undoubtedly to Islam, that simple yet majestic creed of which no unprejudiced student can ignore the grandeur, that they owed the splendid part which th^y were destined to play in the history of civilisation.” (2) The Muslims believe that the p,ur’an is the revealed 5 word of God to His Prophet Muhammad.. Be that as it may, for the purposes of the present work which is not directly con­ cerned with religious issues, wc submit that the Qur’an is the oldest extant record of the revelations of the Prophet. There is reason to suppose that the chances of forged insert­ ions by interested parties in its text are .remote. Prom another angle the Qur’an gives an accurate account of the knowledge and views of Muhammad. It stands to reason that, since he argued with his opponents in an attempt to convert them to his side, he must have understood well and mastered the teachings embodied in the book he was arguing from.

  • Pre-Islamic Arabia
    Pre-Islamic Arabia The Nomadic Tribes of Arabia The nomadic pastoralist Bedouin tribes inhabited the Arabian Peninsula before the rise of Islam around 700 CE. LEARNING OBJECTIVES Describe the societal structure of tribes in Arabia KEY TAKEAWAYS Key Points Nomadic Bedouin tribes dominated the Arabian Peninsula before the rise of Islam. Family groups called clans formed larger tribal units, which reinforced family cooperation in the difficult living conditions on the Arabian peninsula and protected its members against other tribes. The Bedouin tribes were nomadic pastoralists who relied on their herds of goats, sheep, and camels for meat, milk, cheese, blood, fur/wool, and other sustenance. The pre-Islamic Bedouins also hunted, served as bodyguards, escorted caravans, worked as mercenaries, and traded or raided to gain animals, women, gold, fabric, and other luxury items. Arab tribes begin to appear in the south Syrian deserts and southern Jordan around 200 CE, but spread from the central Arabian Peninsula after the rise of Islam in the 630s CE. Key Terms Nabatean: an ancient Semitic people who inhabited northern Arabia and Southern Levant, ca. 37–100 CE. Bedouin: a predominantly desert-dwelling Arabian ethnic group traditionally divided into tribes or clans. Pre-Islamic Arabia Pre-Islamic Arabia refers to the Arabian Peninsula prior to the rise of Islam in the 630s. Some of the settled communities in the Arabian Peninsula developed into distinctive civilizations. Sources for these civilizations are not extensive, and are limited to archaeological evidence, accounts written outside of Arabia, and Arab oral traditions later recorded by Islamic scholars. Among the most prominent civilizations were Thamud, which arose around 3000 BCE and lasted to about 300 CE, and Dilmun, which arose around the end of the fourth millennium and lasted to about 600 CE.

  • POL 612 Arab Contributions to Political Thought
    Course Outline | Fall Semester 2015 POL 612 Arab Contributions to Political Thought Program Core Compulsory Course Course Teacher/s: Dr. Mark Farha and Team Credit Value: 3 Pre-requisites: No pre-requisites Co-requisites: SOSH 601, POL 611 Course Duration: 14 weeks; Semester 1 Total Student Study Time: 126 hours, including 42 contact hours of lectures and seminars. AIMS This course has a dual aim: 1) to introduce students to major Arab contributions to political thought across history, and 2) to temper (if not transcend) the Eurocentrism of most modern courses in political thought. It also seeks to challenge and inspire students to aspire to make their own contributions to political thought, first by providing role models who have made significant contributions. No less important, however, is to provide students with a critical view of Arab political thought and pointing out the gaps and shortcomings that remain to be overcome. The course starts by highlighting major contributions to political thought in the classical age, including by figures like al-Farabi, Ibn Khaldun, and moveson to the contributions and debates in the era of Nahda by the likes of Tahtawi, Afghani, Abduh, Farah Anton, and Taha Hussain, among others. It then moves to modern intellectual contributions by figures like Edward Said, Sadiq al Azm, Adunis, Samir Amin, Anouar Abd al-Malki, Aziz al Azmeh, Hisham Sharabi, Nazih Ayubi, and Fouad Ajami, among others. The course also covers major themes which preoccupied modern Arab political thought, including the theme of political identity, nationalism, Arab unity, liberation, religious revivalism and secularization, sectarianism, democracy, social justice, etc.

Relying on a range of Arabic primary struggling to accept, let alone institutionalize, the core pillars sources, it begins with a panoramic historical overview of of secularism and a civic state. In part, this crisis of secularism the usage of the term “madani” (meaning “civil” or “civic”) might be seen as a global phenomenon in light of the among a selection of key liberal and reformist Arab proliferation of populism tinged with communal prejudice. intellectuals, from the nineteenth century to the present.2 But while there is a global component to this problem, there The report also examines recurrent patterns in the use of are also particular regional characteristics. This report seeks “dawlah madaniyyah” as a means of either asserting or to go beyond the current crisis surrounding secularism avoiding an egalitarian, secular state in the present context as a symptom of a broader, universal failure of liberal of post-Arab-uprising states struggling with ideological and democracy and economic inequalities, and to specifically sectarian fragmentation. I explore how the concepts of the link the enfeebled state of secularism in Arab states to the civil state and citizenship have actually been used, in some region’s intellectual and political history since the nineteenth cases, to completely skirt secularism proper.
