Preamble This study bearson the history of the territory of Bahrain spanningthe years from the advent of Islam to the Abbasid period. Historically Bahrain representedthe territory extending and including what are known today as Kuwait, Al Hasa, Qatar and the present day islands of Bahrain known in the past as Awal. The status of Bahrain is rated high among the States of the region since ancient times. It attracted the attention of covetous eyes for its pearl-rich waters and its vital location straddling the important trade routes of the old world. The Islamic historical heritage is considered one of the important pillars of the Arab-Islamic civilisation. Hence, in the course of this study, it is possible to have a comprehensive understanding of the various facets of the Arab-Islamic civilisation prevailing in all Arab countries. There is paucity of scientific studies on Islamic civilisation and hence it opens up a virgin field for study and research. There is an acute need for undertaking fresh studies on the early Arab-Islamic heritage in the different countries of the Arab world, particularly in the region of the Gulf and the Arabian peninsula because of their distance from the capital of the Caliphate in Madina. 1 I studied the social phenomena in this territory, its local markets, its town planning, the important tribes which were there, and the various creeds and religions which prevailed there. I then studied the cultural aspect of this society its poets and literateurs, the message of their poetry and the impact of this culture on the society of the Bahrain territory. A major difficulty faced by the researcher was the very few archaeological treasures investigated so far in Bahrain. What the historians of this region wrote about in this region were nothing more than passing references to them, incidental to the discussion of other topics. I therefore had no other option but to gather together all these small pieces of scientific information scattered indiscriminately in various heritage books despite their scarcity and despite their being very old publications. I resorted to a field study in Bahrain to obtain the greatest possible historical information and relied on the Bahrain National Museum and the Historical Documents Centre. historians The other difficulty was the ambiguity of the texts quoted by the and the interspersed historical passagesin other texts. The extraction of historical It information from these varied sources proved to be a time consuming process. in had to be presented in a coordinated and easily understandable manner the thesis if the reader was to benefit. locations of I also had some difficulty in specifying the exact geographical importance they accorded certain places, their description and their and whether 2 with the current day concepts. While it is conceded that some of the Arabic source material is not very accurate in this context, there has been no serious effort to compile a comprehensive historical atlas of these places. Therefore this research must be seen as seminal from which further research can be undertaken. 1.2. The Problem of the Research. The problem was to deducehistorical facts behind the political, social and cultural circumstances of Bahrain since the Prophet's (PBUH) times to the Abbasid period, a matter which rendered the study painstaking to an extent. One had to highlight the role of Bahrain in political, social and cultural fields at that early period in the history of Islam. The available historical sources concentrated on the political and social eventsof thesetwo reigns as seenfrom the capitals of the Caliphates; Madina and Damascus. They did not particularly view the events directly from the perspective of Bahrain.

  • The Struggle Against Musaylima and the Conquest of Yamama
    THE STRUGGLE AGAINST MUSAYLIMA AND THE CONQUEST OF YAMAMA M. J. Kister The Hebrew University of Jerusalem The study of the life of Musaylima, the "false prophet," his relations with the Prophet Muhammad and his efforts to gain Muhammad's ap- proval for his prophetic mission are dealt with extensively in the Islamic sources. We find numerous reports about Musaylima in the Qur'anic commentaries, in the literature of hadith, in the books of adab and in the historiography of Islam. In these sources we find not only material about Musaylima's life and activities; we are also able to gain insight into the the Prophet's attitude toward Musaylima and into his tactics in the struggle against him. Furthermore, we can glean from this mate- rial information about Muhammad's efforts to spread Islam in territories adjacent to Medina and to establish Muslim communities in the eastern regions of the Arabian peninsula. It was the Prophet's policy to allow people from the various regions of the peninsula to enter Medina. Thus, the people of Yamama who were exposed to the speeches of Musaylima, could also become acquainted with the teachings of Muhammad and were given the opportunity to study the Qur'an. The missionary efforts of the Prophet and of his com- panions were often crowned with success: many inhabitants of Yamama embraced Islam, returned to their homeland and engaged in spreading Is- lam. Furthermore, the Prophet thoughtfully sent emissaries to the small Muslim communities in Yamama in order to teach the new believers the principles of Islam, to strengthen their ties with Medina and to collect the zakat.

The relevant literature links emigration to states’ developmental needs, which does not explain why some states choose to economically subsidize their citizens’ emigration. This article explores for the first time the soft power importance of high-skilled emigration from authoritarian emigration states. It finds that the Egyptian state under Gamal Abdel Nasser employed labor emigration for two distinct purposes linked to broader soft power interests: first, as an instrument of cultural diplomacy to spread revolutionary ideals of Arab unity and anti-imperialism across the Middle East; second, as a tool for disseminating development aid, particularly in Yemen and sub-Saharan Africa. Drawing on Arabic and non-Arabic primary sources, the article identifies the interplay between foreign policy and cross-border mobility, while also sketching an evolving research agenda on authoritarian emigration states’ policy-making. Keywords Soft power, diasporas, Egypt, Middle East, authoritarianism, migration, case study, Arab–Israeli conflict Introduction Can labor emigration serve a state’s foreign policy goals? In particular, how do authoritarian states use labor emigration in their foreign policy-making? The emerging academic literature on the poli- tics of international migration has yet to fully explore this phenomenon as a separate field of inquiry.

  • Eastward Drift of Arabs and Iranians
    Schwanitz Report Review Article 30 September 2015, 1-9 Updated Webversion 9-2015 Eastward Drift of Arabs and Iranians Ferris on Soviet Arabs, American Arabs, and Islamists in the Cold War It should have taken five weeks, but it lasted five years. Yet, Abd an-Nasir's intervention in Arabia's North Yemen—the South of which was in British hands, and securing access to the Sues Canal played a major role in all considerations—didn't come out of the blue. In his first book, Jesse Ferris wants to show how Egyptian troops in Yemen became a part of president Abd an-Nasir's defeat by Israel in the war of June 1967. He uncovers how the interven- tion accelerated the demise of Nasirism. Most recently, all of this became popular in Cairo again. A civilian-military axis deposed the "Muslim Brotherhood's president," Muhammad Mursi, in the 2013 "coupvolt," a merger of coup d'état and revolt. The new "1/3 Sues Canal" was finished a year later. And the Egyptians debated sending troops to Yemen to help the Sunni Saudi coalition, and Cairo guards with its navy ships the Bab al-Mandab to stop Shia Iranian deliveries of weapons in the battles against the al-Huthis. Suez Canal Authority Press Ismailia In this light the author, who works at the Israel Democracy Institute of Jerusalem, wrote a highly topical book. I will name the chapters, discuss the key thesis and add notes, also on basic German insights which may lead to a more global view on the research and methods.

  • 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.

Oversize materials (e.g., maps, drawings, charts) are reproduced by sectiotiing the original, beginning at the upper left-hand comer and continuing from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. Each original is also photographed in one exposure and is included in reduced form at the back of the book.
