C". C ,\,,: 41-------<..<.LI-hY,-""lA""""","""I,--ft-'t _ '" I) Abstract Mustafa Sadiq al-Rafii, a modem Egyptian writer with classical style, is not studied by scholars of Arabic literature as are his contemporary liberals, such as Taha Hussein. This thesis provides a historical background and a brief literary survey that helps contextualize al-Rafii, the period, and the area he came from. AI-Rafii played an important role in the two literary and intellectual schools during the Arabic literary revival, which extended from the French expedition (1798-1801) to around the middle of the twentieth century. These two schools, known as the Old and the New, vied to shape the literature and thought of Egypt and other Arab countries. The former, led by al-Rafii, promoted a return to classical Arabic styles and tried to strengthen the Islamic identity of Egypt. The latter called for cutting off Egypt from its Arabic history and rejected the dominance and continuity of classical Arabic language. AI-Rafii contributed to the Revival by supporting a line ofthought that has not been favored by pro-Westernization governments, which made his legacy almost forgotten. Deriving his literature from the canon of Arabic language, culture, and history, al-Rafii produced a literature based on a revived version of classical Arabic literature, an accomplishment which makes him unique among modem Arab writers.

Although this theme has been examined individually in both Arabic and Hebrew literatures, to the best of my knowledge no detailed comparative analysis has previously been undertaken. Therefore, this study sets out to compare and contrast the two literatures and cultures arising out of their co-existence in al-Andalus in the middle ages. The main characteristics of the Arabic poetry of this period are to a large extent the product of the political and social upheavals that took place in al-Andalus.

  • The Central Islamic Lands
    77 THEME The Central Islamic 4 Lands AS we enter the twenty-first century, there are over 1 billion Muslims living in all parts of the world. They are citizens of different nations, speak different languages, and dress differently. The processes by which they became Muslims were varied, and so were the circumstances in which they went their separate ways. Yet, the Islamic community has its roots in a more unified past which unfolded roughly 1,400 years ago in the Arabian peninsula. In this chapter we are going to read about the rise of Islam and its expansion over a vast territory extending from Egypt to Afghanistan, the core area of Islamic civilisation from 600 to 1200. In these centuries, Islamic society exhibited multiple political and cultural patterns. The term Islamic is used here not only in its purely religious sense but also for the overall society and culture historically associated with Islam. In this society not everything that was happening originated directly from religion, but it took place in a society where Muslims and their faith were recognised as socially dominant. Non-Muslims always formed an integral, if subordinate, part of this society as did Jews in Christendom. Our understanding of the history of the central Islamic lands between 600 and 1200 is based on chronicles or tawarikh (which narrate events in order of time) and semi-historical works, such as biographies (sira), records of the sayings and doings of the Prophet (hadith) and commentaries on the Quran (tafsir). The material from which these works were produced was a large collection of eyewitness reports (akhbar) transmitted over a period of time either orally or on paper.

  • The Jerusalem Conquest of 492/1099 in the Medieval Arabic
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by SOAS Research Online The Jerusalem Conquest of 492/1099 in the 1 Medieval Arabic Historiography of the Crusades: From Regional Plurality to Islamic Narrative 5 Konrad Hirschler SOAS, University of London [email protected] 10 Abstract This article discusses the reports on the conquest of Jerusalem in 492/1099 in Arabic chronicles. It argues that the reports on this event developed in three distinct and very diverse regional traditions in Egypt, Syria and Iraq. On the basis of the early Egyptian and Syrian 15 evidence, it is highly unlikely that the conquest of Jerusalem was accompanied by a large-scale massacre of the entire population. This evidence shows furthermore that contemporaries did not see the fall of the town as a momentous event. The later Iraqi tradition, by contrast, introduced not only a new dimension to the massacre of the town’s inhabitants, but developed two further narrative strands which were largely unknown to earlier reports: the plundering 20 of the Dome of the Rock and the subsequent delegation to Baghdad. The development of these strands must be seen within the political and intellectual setting of Baghdad, most importantly the conflict between Sultanate and Caliphate and the profile of the Hanbalite traditionalist milieu of the city. Ibn al-Athir’s famous report from the early seventh/thirteenth century almost exclusively goes back to this Iraqi strand and was an “Islamic narrative” in that it sidelined all previous regional traditions and reframed the conquest as a momentous 25 event in terms of eschatology, martyrdom and divine intervention.

Curry Books Review Essay Some Thoughts on the Greater Integration of Islamic Sources into the Wider Framework of Medieval History John J. Curry University of Nevada, Las Vegas Introduction The study of Islam has been attracting greater interest in recent years, due to high-profile political and economic events. In addition, the rise of world history programs has generated a need for resources by which both students and faculty alike can strengthen their knowledge in this field. Still, general knowledge on the field is limited. This disparity has occurred, in part, because the field of Islamic history, especially in its formative and medieval periods, has been oriented toward specialists rather than a general audience. Often, world history sourcebooks are content to give only short selections from religious sources such as the Qur’an, the Traditions of the Prophet Muhammad and his Companions (hadith), and perhaps a scattering of political or cultural documents.

    College Core Curriculum Cultures and Contexts: Islamic Societies Medieval Islamic History and Culture Spring 2014 Professor Everett Rowson [email protected] or [email protected] Kevorkian Building, 50 Washington Square South, second floor, room 304 Office hours by appointment Graduate Teaching Assistants (all office hours held on the second floor of the Kevorkian): Matthew Keegan ([email protected], W 12:30-1:30) Suneela Mubayi ([email protected], T 2-3) Ehsan Siahpoush ([email protected], F 3:30-4:30) This course will explore various aspects of the Islamic world from about the year 600 to about 1300. It postulates that despite very large variations in culture across time and space it is meaningful to speak of a single Islamic civilization during this period, and will ask why. This is not a religious studies course, although the dominance of the religion of Islam, in one way or another, serves to define and unify the societies under examination, and religion will be a major topic of study. But attention will also be paid to philosophy and science, literature and music, art and architecture, all within a roughly chronological frame. The majority of the assigned reading will be English translations of Arabic works written by the inhabitants of this world themselves. One of the chief objectives of the course will be to help students appreciate just how different a culture different from their own—and especially one in the distant past—can be, and yet make perfect sense to its participants. By reading, analyzing, and discussing what those participants have to say about a myriad of topics they should gain insights into how cultures in general, including their own, work.

A.D.), Bishop of Najran An Arabic and Islamic Cultural Hero The half-legendary Quss Ibn Sa’ida from an ancient North Arab tribe Iyad was probably (according to Arabic sources only, he is not mentioned in any ancient texts) a bishop1 of the Yemeni (today in Saudi Arabia) city Najran2 (Ar. Usquf Na- jran), one of oldest centers of Christianity (Ar. Nasraniyya)3 in the Arab World and at the same time a monk/ascetic (anachorete). He is pictured as the greatest orator of all the tribes […] and whose eloquence has become proverbial […] He is also an heroic figure, describing as being also the poet, sage, judge, etc. par excellence of the Arabs of his time – states the eminent French Arabist Charles Pellat4. Abu Hatim as-Sijistani (d. about 869) writes that, he reached the age of 380 years, being one of ‘long lived’ 1 This piece of information was discussed in detail by western Arabists (a presentation of this dis- cussion see in: M.M. Dziekan, Quss Ibn Sā῾ida al-Iyādī . Legenda życia i twórczości, Warszawa 1996, p. 14–22). Sozomen (5th cent. A.D.) in his Historia Ecclesiastica (VII, 19) wrote: They faithfully and justly assumed, that those who accorded in the essentials of worship ought not to separate from one another on account of customs . For exactly similar traditions on every point are to be found in all the churches, even though they hold the same opinions .
