Othman Ibn Affan the Third Caliph Othman Ibn Affan The Third Caliph By Mohammad Redha Former Iibrarian of Fouad the 1st Library Interpreted by Mohammad Agha DAR al-KOTOB al-ILMIYAH Beirut - Lebanon In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, The Most MerciCul Introduction 01 Interpreter Othman: Man 01 leniency and tolerance Othman Ibn Affan, , for whom may Allah's good pleasure is prayed, is the third orthodox caliph known as «Zu- al- Nourain». He was the son- in- law of the Messenger of Allah, (to whom may Allah's Blessingsand peace be granted), and he was described by hirn as «a shy man from whom angels feel shy». Othman had many favours in Islam. Most important favour was the equipping ofal- O'sra Army. Allah, Be He exalted, said: «Who followed him in the hour of O'sra (Distress)», The Messenger of Allah, (to whom may Allah's Blessings and peace be granted), accepted Othman's great aid to al- O'sra Army. He said: «Nothing will harm Othman after today». And He added: «He who equipped al- O'sra army will be one of the inhabitants of Paradise», Othman was known for his generosity and piety. He bought the Romat well from a Jewish and offered it as a public utility for Moslems. He also was known for offering financial aid to Moslems. He, moreover; was the first to pay for Mu'azens (callers for prayer), the first to address Moslems at religious sermons before the prayers of al- Id (feast); the first to authorize people to allocate alms on their money; the first to be appointed as caliph at his mother's life, the first to appoint chief constable; the first to immigrate with his family, etc... In fact, Othman's favours are uncountable. His caliphate lasted for eleven years from 24 - 35 Hijra during which very significant events took place. He was assassinated on Friday, 18th of 'h al- Hejjah, 35 Hijra. 3 ~I ,1...

Othman said: Do you know that Omar appointedMo'uawya along all his caliphate? So, I appointed him! Ali said: I appeal to you! Do you know that Mo'uawya was more frightened than Omar. He replied: Yes! Ali said: Mo'uawya behaves ashe likes without taking permission from you and you know this. He tells people this is Othman's order. And you know this and you don't do anything to prevent it. Ali, , for whom may Allah's good pleasure is prayed, explained the very crux of the problem. It is the infuence by those people on Othman, who was unable to get independent from them. Very catastrophic events took place in the aftermath of murdering Othman. And many victims fell as a result of inter-fighting among Moslems. Mou'awya was ambitious to be the Caliph. Sovhe used Othman's murdering as a cover to obtain what he wanted. He accused Ali 'Ibn Abi Taleb of helping «murderers» and used all gimmicks to rally Moslems behind him, Othman's presence after his death was stronger than his influence during his life. Thus, even those who used to ignite Moslems against Othman attempted to.play «his card» after his assassination. Aiysha, the Mother of Berlievers,Talha and al- Zubair demanded revenge for Othman's blood and they fought AlL But, they lost to hirn at al- Jamal Battle (the Battle of Camel). The three, Aiysha, Talha and al- Zubair, repented for pushing the developments to such a terrific battle which caused the death.of the best Moslems. Later, Seffin Battle and other bloody battles prompted by Mou'awya under the pretext of revenge for Othman's killing led to the weaknes of Islam and the fragmentation of Moslems. Othman's points of frailty might be a reason for the successive events that hit Islam and Moslems; but the frailties of others, particularly those who were ambitious to reap the fruits of the tragedy were more dangerous!!! Developments during Othman's caliphate and following his assassination 5 show facts. These developments speak for themselves. In a word, Othman was the victim ofhis power- seeking relatives. He was, pious, lenient and tolerant; but they were greedy and ambitious to control the very state of atTairs!!! Let events show up facts. It is a real drama fraught with plots, fear and blood on the one side and telling lessons on the other!?! Mobammad Agba 6 In tbe Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, The Most Merciful Introduction Praise be to Allah, the God of all creatures and the wisest ruler; and blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah (to whom may Allah's Blessings and peace be granted). So and so, Allah, to whom be ascribed all perfection and majesty, willed that I persist in what I started as I worked out books on the Islamic history in the service of Moslems in all the countries of the world. Hereinafter, I introduce to researchers and readers this book as one of the series of Islamic history. It is on «Othman Ibn Affan, for whom may Allah's good pleasure is prayed», By doing so, I filled aspace and completed a shortage. People did not find a book, which is independent, on each caliph. This book deals with his biography and the events that took place during his reign. Even foreign writers followed the suit of Moslem writers. They did not write a separate book for each caliph. Sir Moer's book «The Caliphate» and Sir Irving's book «Mohammed and His Caliphs» are both one volume. And others did the same. Undoubtedly, this is a shortage which must be completed. But, we should acknowledge that the scholar Rafiq Beck al- Azem had made up for this issue and allocated apart for each caliph from his book: The Most Famous Men of Islam. I did not find more than the first four parts inc1uding Othman. Thus, we do not find anything, but the general books of history such as al­ Tabari, who is trusted, as well as Ibn Khaldoun and Ibn al- Athir, who derived their writings from al- Tabari in general. This is addition to «The Annals» of Prince Rittani, who translated the Arabic texts into Italians. Noteworthy is that the Arabic books on the Orthodox Caliphs are only biographies. There also were the interpretations; such-as Assad al- Ghaba (The 7 Lion of Forest), (the Casualty), (Tabaqat Ibn Sa'ad), (The Comprehension), (The Perfection) and (The Refinement), etc... They are almost similar; but some of them are long and others are brief. Orientalists quoted them in the composition of the Islamic Encyclopedia. They did not add to it anything; but comments that aim at casting doubt without evidence as we mentioned in this book on the occasion of the demise of al- Abbas Ibn Abdul Muttaleb and Omar's reuqest to him to help perform rain prayers, during his life... As for the book (lslamic Nations History) by the late Mohammed al­ Khudari Beck, it is a summary of lectures delivered by hirn at the old Egyptian University. He was so precautious in these lectures for he did not go into details or into the discussion of various stories. So, he did not find it necessary for deliberation. At the reign of the caliphs, for instance, we have to review all the writings of the foreigners on the history of the Roman Empire collapse and the history of Egypt; and we have to review the encyclopedia as weIl. The historians of Arabs, for example, must remember al- Maqawqas as if he were alive when Amre Ibn al- Ass conquered Alexandria for the second time, through he had already died. But, I read some writings by al- Waqidi on Africa's conquests and I found them queer. They are not history or considered as history . The choice of Othman Ibn Affan was made through the authroization of the Shura (consultation) chiefs to Abdul- Rahman Ibn Aouf. The choice was between Othman and Ali Ibn Abi Taleb. Abdul- Rahman quit his candidancy for the caliphate because he had no wish for this. He also was the brother- in­ law ofOthman. Most ofMoslems wanted Othman as caliph after Omar. Omar was tough. He did not favour anybody or take a biased stand towards anyone. He did not fear ayone or take a loose attitude; not to mention his care for justice. Tey feared him and reckoned his rule. He even was tough upon hirnself. He was austere, hating luxuary in food and dress. But Othman was lenient, wise, gracious. He had strong ties with his family.

When I started in my writing, I did not know much about the subject, but when I read the references and resources and studied the details of Imam's life, I was surprised with many meanings that added a lot to my personality. When we talk about this great person we must mention the environment in which he grew up and the family from which he descended. They are a family of the Prophet Muhammad (Ahl Albeit), , who are distinguished by good deeds, redemption and sacrifice, the reason for their preference was their commitment to the method of God and they paid precious cost to become the word of God is the highest. َ ََّ ُ ْ َ ْ ُ ْ َ ْ َ ُ َ ْ )1( )إن َما ُيريد ُالله لُيذه َب عنك ُم َّالر ْج َس أهل ال َبْيت َو ُيط َّه َرك ْم تطه ًيرا( ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ The Holy Prophet Muhammad has recommended all Muslims to love (Ahl Albeit) and keep them in mind.

Shurd also has a second and more specialized meaning, however. In sources relating to the Rashidun and the Umayyads it is normally a procedure for deciding who should be in charge of government. The participants here deliberate in order to elect a ruler, not to convey their advice to one or to act as joint rulers themselves; and al-amr shurd is a call for the ruler to be elected by this procedure, not for affairs to be decided by consultation in general.

  • Chinggis Khan and His Conquest of Khorasan: Causes and Consequences
    CHINGGIS KHAN AND HIS CONQUEST OF KHORASAN: CAUSES AND CONSEQUENCES BY ANIBA ISRAT ARA ARSHAD ISLAM INTERNATIONAL ISLAMIC UNIVERSITY MALAYSIA ABSTRACT This book explores the causes and consequences of Chinggis Khan’s invasion of Khorasan in the 13th century. It discusses Chinggis Khan’s charismatic leadership qualities that united all nomadic tribes and gave him the authority to become the supreme Mongol leader, which helped him to invade Khorasan. It also focuses on the rise of the Muslim cities in Khorasan where many Muslim scholars kept their intellectual brilliance and made Khorasan the cultural capital of the Muslims. This study apprises us of Chinggis Khan’s war tactics and administrative system which made his men extremely strong and advanced despite their culture remaining barbaric in nature. His progeny also followed a similar policy for a long time until all Muslim cities were fully destroyed. The work also focuses on the rise of many sectarian divisions among the Muslims which brought disunity that eventually led to their downfall. Thus, this study underscores the importance of revitalization of unity in the Muslim world so that Muslims may not become vulnerable to any foreign imperialistic power. Unity also is the key to preserve Muslim intellectual thought and Islamic cultural identities. i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS In the beginning, I would like to say that all praise is to Allah (swt) Almighty; despite the difficulties, with His mercy, and the strength, patience and resilience that He has bestowed on me, I completed my work. I am heartily thankful to my beloved supervisor to Dr. Arshad Islam, whose encouragement, painstaking supervision and tireless motivating from the beginning of my long journey to the concluding level helped me to complete this study.

  • For Some Sixty Years, Commencing in 1260, the Mamluk State in Egypt and Syria Was at War with the Ilkhanid Mongols Based in Persia
    For some sixty years, commencing in 1260, the Mamluk state in Egypt and Syria was at war with the Ilkhanid Mongols based in Persia. This is the first comprehensive study of the political and military aspects of the early years of the war, the twenty-one-year period commencing with the battle of cAyn Jalut in Palestine in 1260 and ending in 1281 at the battle of Horns in northern Syria. Between these major confrontations, which resulted from Mongol invasions into Syria, the Mamluk-Ilkhanid struggle was continued in the manner of a 'cold war' with both sides involved in border skirmishes, diplomatic maneuvers, psychological warfare, ideological posturing, espionage and other forms of subterfuge. Here, as in the major battles, the Mamluks usually maintained the upper hand, establishing themselves as the major Muslim power at the time. Using primarily contemporary Arabic and Persian sources, Reuven Amitai- Preiss sheds new light on the confrontation, examining the war within the context of Ilkhanid/Mamluk relations with the Byzantine Empire, the Latin West and the crusading states, as well as with other Mongol states.
