Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 2 v ABSTRACT Paradoxically,the religio-commercial importance of the Meccan region turned out to be little in favour and more against the interest of the Sha­ rif s of Mecca* They had long been compelled to acknowledge the sovereignty of various rulers and during the Burji period have also forfeited much of the their revenue as well as their control of/administration* t The present study deals with various aspects associated with the history of Mecca and shows the effect of the manifold grip of the Burji Sultans* The first two chapters concentrates on the manifestation of political activities of local Ashraf. The dependencies of Mecca have also been exami­ ned with particular reference to the elevation of certain Sharifs to the in the Hijaz exalted position of Na'ib al-Sultan/and the nature of relationship between the Sharifs of Mecca and non Egyptian Sultans. Chapters III-VII of this thesis discusses the general economic condi­ tion and various sources of income and expenditures of the Sharif s of Mecca are examined.The survey reveals that the Sharifs obtained a considerable amount of money from tolls,custom dues and other sources not related to trade,These various financial gains of the Sharifs diminished greatly aft­ er 828/1425 in consequence of the diversion of most of the revenue to Cairo by the Egyptian Sultans. Their other direct or indirect exploitation had a very detrimental effect on the general prosperity of the region. The last three chapters are devoted to treat issues relevant to local administration.lt shows that almost entire administration was controlled by the Sharifi officials until 828/1425•From that year onwards their authority dwindled and the Sultani officials acquired ever increasing influence and dominance.The simultaneous functioning of these two groups of officials ca­ used occasional friction which were usually resolved in favour of the Sult­ ani officials. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS It has been a great privilege and also a rewarding challenge to carry out this research under the supervisioi^bf Professor Bernard Lewis. His inspiring guidance and continuous encouragement have contributed much in enabling me to complete this rather thesis. It is to him that I offer my sincerest thanks and deepest gratitude. I am also very grateful to His Excellency al-Shaykh JJasan b. Abdullah 3tL al-Shaykh, the minister of education of Saudi Arabia, the rector of the University of Riya$, the cultural advisor and other officials in the Saudi Arabian Cultural Bureau for various financial and moral support. I am also indebted to Professor P.M.Holt, Dr. J.E.Wansbrough, and Mr. V.J.Parry, of the School of Oriental and African Studies for their valuable suggestions. I should also like to thank the staff of the Department of History, the Library and the Reading room of the School of Oriental and African Studies, the British Museum, and various libraries in Saudi Arabia and Turkey. Thanks are also due to several friends who have helped me, in one way or another, particularly Mr. A. Al-igassu for lending and allowing me the use of part of Sakhawi1s al-Dhayl which he had edited, Miss Maiy Bell, Mrs. Paddy Baker, Dr. Anna Irene Falk for translating some articles and Mrs. Nina Fuller for typing this thesis. Finally I should like to express my most profound gratitude to ny father, Shaykh Abu Said Abdullah, and to other members of the family whose continuous endurance and encouragement made possible the continuation of this research for a rather lengthy period.

  • The Political Thinking of the “Virtuous Ruler,” Qānṣūh Al- Ghawrī
    ROBERT IRWIN The Political Thinking of the “Virtuous Ruler,” Qānṣūh al- Ghawrī What follows is an essay on the politics of high culture. Historians have tended to present the politics of the Mamluk Sultanate and in particular its factional fighting, as ideology free. Apart from a commitment to Islam and the jihad, the Mamluks seem curiously bereft of any form of idealism, role models, or political programs. Modern historians often portray the political strategies and goals of the Mamluk sultans as being almost invariably driven by hunger for power, greed, arrogance, and, in some cases, fear. They have been encouraged in such cynical readings of Mamluk politics by the way in which the medieval ulama, who were effectively the custodians of Mamluk historiography, wrote about the sultans and amirs. Generalizing very broadly, their narratives tended towards the positivist and uninterpretative. But it seems worth considering whether there was at least the pretence of ideology and idealism on the part of the ruling elite. Most of the ulama did not frequent the court, and consequently they were not party to the way decisions were made and the reasons for those decisions. Shihāb al-Dīn Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad Ibn Iyās (1448–ca. 1524) is a case in point. Despite being the grandson of a mamluk, his chronicle, the Badāʾiʿ al-Zuhūr fī Waqāʾiʿ al- Duhūr, is effectively an outsider’s chronicle, based on public proclamations, gossip, and personal sightings of processions and departing military expeditions. While he is prepared to concede that the Mamluk sultan Qānṣūh al-Ghawrī had some good qualities, nevertheless his account of that sultan’s reign (906–22/1501–16) is a hostile one and, in his obituary of the sultan, he condemns him for his injustice, confiscations, and greed.

  • AL-KINDI 'Philosopher of the Arabs' Abū Yūsuf Yaʿqūb Ibn Isḥāq Al
    AL-KINDI ‘Philosopher of the Arabs’ – from the keyboard of Ghurayb Abū Yūsuf Ya ʿqūb ibn Is ḥāq Al-Kindī , an Arab aristocrat from the tribe of Kindah, was born in Basrah ca. 800 CE and passed away in Baghdad around 870 (or ca. 196–256 AH ). This remarkable polymath promoted the collection of ancient scientific knowledge and its translation into Arabic. Al-Kindi worked most of his life in the capital Baghdad, where he benefitted from the patronage of the powerful ʿAbb āssid caliphs al- Ma’mūn (rg. 813–833), al-Muʿta ṣim (rg. 833–842), and al-Wāthiq (rg. 842–847) who were keenly interested in harmonizing the legacy of Hellenic sciences with Islamic revelation. Caliph al-Ma’mūn had expanded the palace library into the major intellectual institution BAYT al-ḤIKMAH (‘Wisdom House ’) where Arabic translations from Pahlavi, Syriac, Greek and Sanskrit were made by teams of scholars. Al-Kindi worked among them, and he became the tutor of Prince A ḥmad, son of the caliph al-Mu ʿtasim to whom al-Kindi dedicated his famous work On First Philosophy . Al-Kindi was a pioneer in chemistry, physics, psycho–somatic therapeutics, geometry, optics, music theory, as well as philosophy of science. His significant mathematical writings greatly facilitated the diffusion of the Indian numerals into S.W. Asia & N. Africa (today called ‘Arabic numerals’ ). A distinctive feature of his work was the conscious application of mathematics and quantification, and his invention of specific laboratory apparatus to implement experiments. Al-Kindi invented a mathematical scale to quantify the strength of a drug; as well as a system linked to phases of the Moon permitting a doctor to determine in advance the most critical days of a patient’s illness; while he provided the first scientific diagnosis and treatment for epilepsy, and developed psycho-cognitive techniques to combat depression.

  • On the Use of Coptic Numerals in Egypt in the 16 Th Century
    ON THE USE OF COPTIC NUMERALS IN EGYPT IN THE 16 TH CENTURY Mutsuo KAWATOKO* I. Introduction According to the researches, it is assumed that the culture of the early Islamic period in Egypt was very similar to the contemporary Coptic (Qibti)/ Byzantine (Rumi) culture. This is most evident in their language, especially in writing. It was mainly Greek and Coptic which adopted the letters deriving from Greek and Demotic. Thus, it was normal in those days for the official documents to be written in Greek, and, the others written in Coptic.(1) Gold, silver and copper coins were also minted imitating Byzantine Solidus (gold coin) and Follis (copper coin) and Sassanian Drahm (silver coin), and they were sometimes decorated with the representation of the religious legends, such as "Allahu", engraved in a blank space. In spite of such situation, around A. H. 79 (698), Caliph 'Abd al-Malik b. Marwan implemented the coinage reformation to promote Arabisation of coins, and in A. H. 87 (706), 'Abd Allahi b. 'Abd al-Malik, the governor- general of Egypt, pursued Arabisation of official documentation under a decree by Caliph Walid b. 'Abd al-Malik.(2) As a result, the Arabic letters came into the immediate use for the coin inscriptions and gradually for the official documents. However, when the figures were involved, the Greek or the Coptic numerals were used together with the Arabic letters.(3) The Abjad Arabic numerals were also created by assigning the numerical values to the Arabic alphabetic (abjad) letters just like the Greek numerals, but they did not spread very much.(4) It was in the latter half of the 8th century that the Indian numerals, generally regarded as the forerunners of the Arabic numerals, were introduced to the Islamic world.

  • Saudi Arabia Under King Faisal
    SAUDI ARABIA UNDER KING FAISAL ABSTRACT || T^EsIs SubiviiTTEd FOR TIIE DEqREE of ' * ISLAMIC STUDIES ' ^ O^ilal Ahmad OZuttp UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF DR. ABDUL ALI READER DEPARTMENT OF ISLAMIC STUDIES ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH (INDIA) 1997 /•, •^iX ,:Q. ABSTRACT It is a well-known fact of history that ever since the assassination of capital Uthman in 656 A.D. the Political importance of Central Arabia, the cradle of Islam , including its two holiest cities Mecca and Medina, paled into in insignificance. The fourth Rashidi Calif 'Ali bin Abi Talib had already left Medina and made Kufa in Iraq his new capital not only because it was the main base of his power, but also because the weight of the far-flung expanding Islamic Empire had shifted its centre of gravity to the north. From that time onwards even Mecca and Medina came into the news only once annually on the occasion of the Haj. It was for similar reasons that the 'Umayyads 661-750 A.D. ruled form Damascus in Syria, while the Abbasids (750- 1258 A.D ) made Baghdad in Iraq their capital. However , after a long gap of inertia, Central Arabia again came into the limelight of the Muslim world with the rise of the Wahhabi movement launched jointly by the religious reformer Muhammad ibn Abd al Wahhab and his ally Muhammad bin saud, a chieftain of the town of Dar'iyah situated between *Uyayana and Riyadh in the fertile Wadi Hanifa. There can be no denying the fact that the early rulers of the Saudi family succeeded in bringing about political stability in strife-torn Central Arabia by fusing together the numerous war-like Bedouin tribes and the settled communities into a political entity under the banner of standard, Unitarian Islam as revived and preached by Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 2 , ABSTRACT This thesis deals with the theory of Punishment in Islamic law. It is divided into four ch pters. In the first chapter I deal with the fixed punishments or Mal hududrl; four punishments are discussed: the punishments for theft, armed robbery, adultery and slanderous allegations of unchastity. The other two punishments which are usually classified as "hudud11, i.e. the punishments for wine-drinking and apostasy are dealt with in the second chapter. The idea that they are not punishments of "hudud11 is fully ex- plained. Neither of these two punishments was fixed in definite terms in the Qurfan or the Sunna? therefore the traditional classification of both of then cannot be accepted.

Finally, lately in the 8th century, Amir Timur thrived from Transoxiana in northeastern Iran, and gradually made obedient Iran and surrounding countries. However, in the Northwest of Iran, Turkmen tribes reigned but during the Timurid raids they had returned to obedience, and just as withdrawal of the Timurid troops, they were quickly back their former power. These clans and tribes sometimes were troublesome to the Ottoman Empires and Mamluk Sultanate of Egypt. Due to the remoteness of these regions of Timurid Capital and, more importantly, lack of permanent government administrations and organizations of the Timurid capital, following Amir Timur’s death, because of dynastic struggles among his Sons and Grandsons, the Turkmens under these conditions were increasing their power and then they had challenged the Timurid princes. The most important goals of this study has focused on investigation of their relationships and struggles. How and why Timurid Empire has begun to combat against Qara Qoyunlu and Aq Qoyunlu Turkmens; what were the reasons for the failure of the Timurid deal with them, these are the questions that we try to find the answers in our study.
