ANTH 489 Romans, Arabs and Vikings ANTH 489 Romans, Arabs and Vikings. Seafaring in the Mediterranean during the Early Christian Era. Class 13: The Umayyad Caliphate Introduction Under Alexander the Great, in the 4th century BC, there was a short cultural and political unity in eastern Europe, the Middle East and Western Asia. Alexander opened a series of trade routes and channels of communication that lasted for centuries to come. In the 6th century AD emperor Justinian (AD 483-565) took advantage of a stable political situation and managed to expand the Roman Empire to close to its former borders. There was no wealth in this new Empire to sustain the armies necessary to keep its borders and Justinian conquests collapsed fairly quickly after his death. Emperor Maurice (AD 539-602) suffered further pressure from the Sassanid Empire, a powerful and well-organized empire located in today’s Iran and Iraq region. It was Emperor Heraclius (AD 575-641) who managed to resolve (although only temporarily) the eastern border problems conquering an important part of the Middle East and establishing peace terms with the Sassanid rulers. With the fall of the Persian Empire; The void created by the fall of the Sassanid Empire in the Middle East, after the defeat inflicted on the Sassanids by Heraclius in a long campaign that started in AD 621 and ended in AD 627 after the battle of Niniveth, empowered a number of local tribal leaders, among which was the first of the four righteous caliphs, Abu Bakr. The Umayyad caliphate was established based on a common language, a common faith and a common culture. The Muslim empire grew rapidly partly due to the lack of resources necessary to organize a defense in the regions invaded, partly due to the vigor and cohesion that the new faith inspired in the invadors, and partly because in the beginning the Muslim rulers respected the local populations and were a source of order, commerce, learning, and prosperity. Cities grow, commerce expands, the Western Mediterranean becomes a Muslim pond and both bulk trade and long distance luxury goods trade become highly profitable. The Muslim trading network expands naturaly to the Indian and Pacific Oceans, through the old Yemenite routes. Commerce with India and China intensifies. During the Umayyad period The Indian Ocean saw a great commercial expansion, and Arab trade became the source of a very rich and profitable commerce. Islam became a rich and sophisticated culture that praises knowledge, the arts, a strict code of honor based on courage, hospitality, loyalty to family ties, and pride of ancestry. Agriculture improved greatly; new crops are introduced, as well as new irrigation techniques. Although in the 7th and 8th centuries only a small percentage of the ihnabitants of the Umayyad Empire were Muslim (perhaps 10%), by the 10th century the majority of the population is converted. As if the original Yemenite culture, temples (Mosques) are cort houses, hospitals, hostels. The capital of the Umayyad caliphate was Damascus from its conquest in AD 634 until the reign of the last caliph Marwan II (Ad 688-750), who moved the capital of the empire briefly to Harran, in southeast Turkey. Typically the power was distributed between the family branch (whom can you trust?), a practice that causes revolts in many cities, such as Mecca or Medina. The Umayyad government became Syrian government. The local administration was often times left to local leaders and Jews and Catholic rulers (pagans were prosecuted). Those who converted yearly to Islam have better chances of progression in their careers. Arabic became the language of buracravy. The Umayyad period was the consolidation was the Muslim the language and culture of the elite. During the Umayyad rule the army became professionalized, soldiers earning wages rather than spoils. In the 8th century, after the fall of tht Umayyad dynasty, the Caliph position becomes hereditary. Those who converted yearly to Islam have better chances of progression in their careers. Arabic became the language of bureaucracy. The Umayyad period was the consolidation was the Muslim the language and culture of the elite. Arts, sciences, and philosophy flourished in a cosmopolitan and sophisticated climate. The Umayyad Caliphate fell due mostly to internal dissent and tribal rivalry. The Abbasid family descended from an uncle of the Prophet and members of the Ashim clan, ancient rivals of the Umayyads. The revolt started in AD 746 and ended in 750 at the Battle of the Zab, in which the Umayyads were defeated. Damascus fell to the Abbasids in April, and in August the last Umayyad Caliph, Marwan II, was killed in Egypt. Most members of the Umayyad clan were tracked down and killed. Only one branch of the family survived, Abd al-Rahman (AD 731-788), establishing a kingdom in the Iberian Peninsula and claiming it to be the Umayyad Caliphate revived. The Umayyad kingdom of Al-Andalus (Arab Iberian Peninsula), lasted until 1492 and was famous for its tolerance, culture, and wealth. .

Composed and printed by The University of Chicago Press, Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A. oi.uchicago.edu Preface HE historical and legendary fame of Harun al- Rashld, the most renowned of the caliphs of Bagh­ dad and hero of many an Arabian Nights' tale, has ren­ dered him for centuries a potent attraction for his­ torians, biographers, and litterateurs. Early Moslem historians recognized a measure of political influence exerted on him by his mother Khaizuran and by his wife Zubaidah. His more recent biographers have tended either to exaggerate or to underestimate the role of these royal women, and all have treated them more or less summarily. It seemed, therefore, desirable to break fresh ground in an effort to uncover all the pertinent his­ torical materials on the two queens themselves, in order the better to understand and estimate the nature and the extent of their influence on Harun and on several others of the early cAbbasid caliphs. As the work progressed, first Khaizuran and then Zubaidah emerged from the privacy of the royal harem to the center of the stage of early cAbbasid history.

  • The Abbasid Dynasty: the Golden Age of Islamic Civilization The
    The Abbasid Dynasty: The Golden Age of Islamic Civilization The Abbasid Caliphate, which ruled the Islamic world, oversaw the golden age of Islamic culture. The dynasty ruled the Islamic Caliphate from 750 to 1258 AD, making it one of the longest and most influential Islamic dynasties. For most of its early history, it was the largest empire in the world, and this meant that it had contact with distant neighbors such as the Chinese and Indians in the East, and the Byzantines in the West, allowing it to adopt and synthesize ideas from these cultures. The Abbasid Revolution The Abbasid Dynasty overthrew the preceding Umayyad Dynasty, which was based in Damascus, Syria. The Umayyads had become increasingly unpopular, especially in the eastern territories of the caliphate. The Umayyads favored Syrian Arabs over other Muslims and treated mawali, newly converted Muslims, as second- class citizens. The most numerous group of mawali were the Persians, who lived side- by-side with Arabs in the east who were angry at the favor shown to Syrian Arabs. Together, they were ripe for rebellion. Other Muslims were angry with the Umayyads for turning the caliphate into a hereditary dynasty. Some believed that a single family should not hold power, while Shiites believed that true authority belonged to the family of the Prophet Muhammad through his son-in-law Ali, and the Umayyads were not part of Muhammad’s family. All these various groups who were angry with the Umayyads united under the Abbasids, who began a rebellion against the Umayyads in Persia. The Abbasids built a coalition of Persian mawali, Eastern Arabs, and Shiites.

  • Islam, the Arabs and Umayyad Rulers According to Theophanes the Confessor’S Chronography
    http://dx.doi.org/10.18778/2084-140X.02.09 Studia Ceranea 2, 2012, p. 97–111 Błażej Cecota (Łódź) Islam, the Arabs and Umayyad Rulers According to Theophanes the Confessor’s Chronography The Chronicle of Theophanes is, as it has been known for decades, a very important source not only for the history of the Byzantine Empire, as it also includes a lot of information about the foreign states and tribes which were con- nected with it1. In this article I will try to analyse the account concerning Islam and the Arabs by this Byzantine author (bearing in mind the still discussed prob- lem of authorship, and above all, the matter of his oriental source[s], on which he relied and which he cited2). The chronicler’s view on Islam itself has been discussed at length by the modern scholars3, yet his attitude towards Arabs and Umayyad rulers seems equally noteworthy, even if sometimes sketchy, varied or indistinct. Therefore, I am going to make both these questions the primary subject of my considerations. 1 The bibliography on the subject of Theophanes and his work is enormous. The following papers should be listed here: A.S. Proudfoot, The Sources of Theophanes for the Heraclian Dynasty, B 44, 1974, p. 367–439; C. Mango, Who wrote the Chronicle of Theophanes?, ЗРВИ 18, 1978, p. 9–17; L.M. Whitby, The Great Chronographer and Theophanes, BMGS 8, 1982/1983, p. 1–20; O.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 ABSTRACT The object of this study, an analysis of Umayyad epistolography and chancery practice, is characterised by the more general problem of source material for the first century of Islamic history. The sources may be grouped as follows: (a) papyri; (b) inshia* balaqha, and adab; (c) history, biography, and geography; (d) hadith, fiqh, and haeresiography. My approach to the problem delineated here will be set out in three chapters: (1) An examination of the Umayyad chancery: its struc­ ture, its adaptation to Arabic, and its technical development (2) A critical analysis of specimen letters reported to have been composed during the Umayyad period. (3) A study of the compositions ascribed to the domi­ nant figure of *Abd al-Hamid al-Katib, traditionally acknow­ ledged as the major factor in the development of the Umayyad chancery.

    The Umayyads: The First Muslim Dynasty The Umayyads were the first Muslim dynasty—that is, they were the first rulers of the Islamic Empire to pass down power within their family. Under their rule, which lasted from 661 to 750 AD, the early Islamic community was transformed into the most powerful empire of the day. In many ways, the Umayyads defined how an Islamic Empire would be ruled. Nonetheless, their lack of descent from Muhammad, their controversial practice of handing down power from father to son, and their mistreatment of non-Arab Muslims made them a controversial dynasty, a topic of debate among Muslims even to this day, and ultimately led to their fall. Muawiya, the First Fitna, and the Rise of the Umayyads When Muhammad first began preaching his message, the Umayyad clan comprised his greatest opposition. They were the richest and most powerful clan in Mecca, and they were threatened by the changes that Islam brought. Muawiya, the first Umayyad ruler, was the son of Abu Sufyan, Muhammad’s most bitter opponent. Abu Sufyan embraced Islam after Muhammad’s forces marched on Mecca, and Muawiya joined his father and older brother, Yazid, in becoming a late convert to the new religion. A younger son and scion of Muhammad’s enemy, Muawiya was not a likely candidate to be the leader of the Islamic community. But his skill and intellect, combined with a lot of luck, enabled him to build the first Muslim dynasty. After his conquest of Mecca, Muhammad gave many Quraysh elites, including members of Muawiya’s Umayyad family, high-ranking positions in his government.

  • On the Tradition of Islamic Figural Sculpture to 1300

M. P. DUGGAN Abstract: This article outlines the tradition of Islamic figural sculpture from the early 8th c. to 1300, citing both surviving examples and the record of those many examples that no longer survive from areas as diverse as Syria-Palestine, Iraq, N. Africa, Afghanistan, Iran, Andalusia and Anatolia, in relief and in the round, figurines and larger sculptures in a variety of materials. Attention is drawn to the ‘statue of the lancer figure’ that was placed on top of al-Qubbah al-Khadra, the hall of audience of the Caliph, Abu Ja’far al Mansur, in Bagdad and which remained in-situ until 941 and which was recorded by Ibrahim b. ‘Ali al-Khutabi in the 10th c. as, ‘the crown of Bagdad, a guidepost for the region and one of the great achievements of the Abbasids’. A clearly visible landmark sculpture and a Caliphal model for Islamic rulers in the use in public, as well as in private spaces, of sculpture. Keywords: Early Islamic Sculpture, Reliefs, Abbasid automata Özet: Bu makale, erken VIII. yüzyıldan XII. yüzyılın sonlarına değin İslami figüratif heykeltıraşlık geleneğini antik kaynaklar ışığında inceleyerek, Suriye-Filistin, Irak, Kuzey Afrika, Afganistan, İran, Endülüs ve Anadolu gibi farklı coğrafyalardan günümüze ulaşabilmeyi başaran ya da kayıtlara geçen örnekler ışığında ele almaktadır.

  • The Crisis of the Imamate and the Institution of Occultation in Twelver Shiʿism*
    Chapter 2 The Crisis of the Imamate and the Institution of Occultation in Twelver Shiʿism* The formative period of Imami Shiʿism from the mid-8th century to the mid- 10th century remains obscure in many respects. This study is an attempt to organize the historical information about the period around a central prob- lematic: the twin crisis of the nature of the Imamate and the succession to this office. The crisis of the Imamate and the efforts to resolve it serve as a focal point for constructing a conceptually coherent overview of these two forma- tive centuries from a sociohistorical perspective. This perspective requires that the endeavors to create a stable system of authority in Imami Shiʿism be con- sidered in the context of the social change and politics of the early ʿAbbasid era: ʿAlid-ʿAbbasid relations, massive conversion of the population of Iran to Islam, and the dialogue and competition between Shiʿism and other contem- porary religious and intellectual trends and movements. Our approach sug- gests a new periodization of the early history of Imami Shiʿism. 1 Authority and Organization in the Imami Sect during the Period of Revolutionary Chiliasm: 744–818 The impressive feat of unifying sundry pro-ʿAlid groups into the Imami sect by the fifth and sixth imams, Muhammad al-Baqir (d. 733) and Jaʿfar al-Sadiq (d. 765), was premised on keeping aloof from political activism. It is remark- able that Jaʿfar al-Sadiq avoided involvement in politics during the revolution- ary era that began with the murder of Walid II in April 744. In that year, the Hashemite dignitaries met at the Abwa ʾ near Mecca to elect a leader, and the Talibid ʿAbd Allah ibn Muʿawiya inaugurated the Hashemite revolution on * Originally published as “Crisis of the Imamate and the Institution of Occultation in Twelver Shiʿism: a Sociohistorical Perspective,” International Journal of Middle East Studies, 28.4 (1996): 491–515.
