  • The Decline and Fall of the First Muslim Empire 3
    The Decline and Fall of the First Muslim Empire 3 The Decline and Fall of the First Muslim Empire Hugh Kennedy (University of St. Andrews) In some ways, the fall or disintegration of empires1 is a more problem- atic subject for historians than their rise. Why is it that the ruling élite, be it ideological or ethnic in basis, seems to lose the capacity or will to assert a dominance that had existed for generations and with which its fathers and grandfathers had grown up? In the case of the Muslim empire of the early caliphate, the question is given added poignancy by current political anxieties. The loss of “Arab unity” is the subject of near-univer- sal lament among Arab thinkers about politics. If only, they cry, we could return to this prelapsarian world where all Arabs were brothers and where Arab rule extended throughout the Middle East, the Arab and Muslim people would regain their status as a world power, to rival and 1)The use of the word “empire” to describe the early Muslim state is of course controversial, and it has no equivalent in the Arabic sources. The Arabic word dawla, often used to describe the Abbasid regime has none of the hegemonic over- tones of “empire”. The “empire” I refer to is the first caliphate, which lasted from the time of the election of Abu Bakr after the death of the Prophet in 11/632 to the collapse of the last remaining vestiges of the power of the Abbasid caliphs of Bagh- dad in 323/935.

  • A Note on the Linguistic Turkicization of Azerbaijan,Arran and Sherwan (Shir-E Dalir,2009)
    A note on the Linguistic Turkicization of Azerbaijan,Arran and Sherwan (Shir-e Dalir,2009) On the Linguistic Turkicization of Azerbaijan, Arran and Sherwan there has not been any detailed study (for example a book or a Ph.D. Thesis) as far as I know. The work of Kasravi although a good start needs much more work since much new evidence has been unearthed since his demise. Three drawbacks I have seen with regards to currents studies are: Authors have lumped Azerbaijan, Arran and Sherwan together although Turkicization occurred differently and at different pace in these areas. Authors have not distinguished between nomadic plains (say the Mughan steppes) and urban city centers. It takes many generation to give up the nomadic lifestyle, for semi-nomadic lifestyle, to rural settlements and finally to urban settlement. Authors have not looked in detail at the differences of Islamic sects. For example in Western Iran unlike Khorasan, the population was mainly Shafi‘i where-as the Turks that entered the region were overwhelmingly Hanafi. This study is not a complete study but it sheds light on sources that scholars have overlooked. For example our main concern are the linguistic Turkicization of the Muslims of the area. It also uses the three above points to study the linguistic Turkicization of Azerbaijan in detail. Finally, we take a look at some arguments in the Appendix that carry no weight but have been promogulated for non-scientific reasons. Overall the study shows that until the Safavid period, the Turkicization of Azerbaijan and Sherwan were far from complete.
