Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 'Abbāsid Revolution of the eighth century A. D. began in eastern Iran and spread from there to the rest of the Arab Empire. In this 1970 text, Dr Shaban studies the causes of this revolution, which had profound effects on Islamic society and politics, and challenges the view that it was precipitated by the failure of the Arab rulers to treat their Iranian subjects as equals of the Arabs. He maintains that the object of the revolution was the assimilation of all Muslims in the Empire into one community in which Arabs and non-Arabs would have equal rights. The social and political background of the Revolution and its causes are analysed. Dr Shaban, using extensive source material, describes the situation in eastern Iran at the time of the Arab conquest, and a discussion of the revolution itself considers the ideological content and whether it was successful in achieving its objectives.

Book Synopsis The Revolution which toppled the Umayyads by : Saleh Said Agha
Download or read book The Revolution which toppled the Umayyads written by Saleh Said Agha and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2003-11-01 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book re-examines the so-called Ἁbbāsid revolution, the ethnic character of whose effective constituency has been contested for over eight decades. It also brings to question the authenticity of the Ἁbbāsid dynastic claim. To establish its two theses (neither Arab nor Ἁbbāsid) this book employs, in its three parts, three distinct methodological approaches. To reconstruct the secret history of the clandestine Organization, Part One elicits a narrative through a rigorous application of the historical-critical method. Part Two subjects to close textual analysis some prime-grade literary specimen. In Part Three, a purely quantitative approach is adopted to study the demographic character of the formal structures of leadership within the Organization. History, historiography, heresiography, literature, the narrative, the textual analysis, and the quantitative approach, cannot be less inseparable.
Book Synopsis The History of al-Tabari Vol. 27 by : Ṭabarī
Download or read book The History of al-Tabari Vol. 27 written by Ṭabarī and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 1990-07-30 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By 735 an Arab empire stretched from Arles and Avignon in southern France to the Indus River and Central Asia, and a vital young civilization fostered by a new world religion was taking root. Yet the Muslim conquerors were divided by tribal quarrels, tensions among new converts, and religious revolts. In 745 a vigorous new successor to the Prophet took control in Damascus and began to restore the waning power of the Umayyad dynasty. Marwan II's attempts were thwarted, however, by revolts on every hand, even among his own relatives. The main body of dissidents was a well-trained group of revolutionaries in Khurasan, led by the remarkable Abu Muslim. By 748 they had seized control of the province and drive the governor, Nasr b. Sayyar al-Laythi, to his death and were advancing westward. This volume tells of the end of the Umayyad caliphate, the Abbasid Revolution, and the establishment of the new dynasty.

Book Synopsis The Early Abbasid Caliphate by : Hugh Kennedy
Download or read book The Early Abbasid Caliphate written by Hugh Kennedy and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-17 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The early Abbasid Caliphate was an important period for Islam. The dynasty, based in Baghdad, ruled over a vast Empire, stretching from the Indus Valley and Southern Russia to the East to Tunisia in the West; and presided over an age of brilliant cultural achievements. This study, first published in 1981, examines the Abbasid Caliphs from their coming to power in 750 AD, to the death of the Caliph al-Ma’mun in 833 AD, when the period of Turkish domination began. It looks at the political history of the period, and also considers the social and economic factors, showing how they developed and influenced political life. The work is designed as a unique introduction to the period, and will prove invaluable to all students involved with Islamic, Byzantine and Mediterranean history and culture.

Book Synopsis The Great Caliphs by : Amira K. Bennison
Download or read book The Great Caliphs written by Amira K. Bennison and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2014-05-14 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This endlessly informative history brings the classical Islamic world to lifeIn this accessibly written history, Amira K. Bennison contradicts the common assumption that Islam somehow interrupted the smooth flow of Western civilization from its Graeco-Roman origins to its more recent European and American manifestations. Instead, she places Islamic civilization in the longer trajectory of Mediterranean civilizations and sees the ‘Abbasid Empire (750–1258 CE) as the inheritor and interpreter of Graeco-Roman traditions.At its zenith the ‘Abbasid caliphate stretched over the entire Middle East and part of North Africa, and influenced Islamic regimes as far west as Spain. Bennison’s examination of the politics, society, and culture of the ‘Abbasid period presents a picture of a society that nurtured many of the “civilized” values that Western civilization claims to represent, albeit in different premodern forms: from urban planning and international trade networks to religious pluralism and academic research. Bennison’s argument counters the common Western view of Muslim culture as alien and offers a new perspective on the relationship between Western and Islamic cultures.

Book Synopsis The Role of Abu Muslim Al-Khurasani in the Abbasid Revolution by : Khin Maung Aye
Download or read book The Role of Abu Muslim Al-Khurasani in the Abbasid Revolution written by Khin Maung Aye and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abu Muslim Al-Khurāsāni played a very important role in the establishment of the Abbasid caliphate. During the late 740 CEs, the Abbasid secret da'wah moved forward from secrecy to open revolution under the command of Abu Muslim Al-Khurāsāni in Khurāsān. After securing his position in Merv, the center of Khurāsān, Abu Muslim Al-Khurāsāni delivered Khurāsāni armies under the control of his commanders to the west. Consequently, his armies captured Kufa, the center of Iraq, under the command of the Abbasid leaders and also staunchly supported Abdullah bin Ali in toppling the last Umayyad Caliph, Marwan II. Thus, it is undeniable that Abu Muslim Al-Khurāsāni's victory in Khurāsān was the starting point of the termination of the Umayyad caliphate and the creation of the Abbasid caliphate. Moreover, Abu Muslim Al-Khurāsāni was also one of the most important figures in selecting the first Abbasid Caliph in the beginning of the establishment of the Abbasid caliphate. Again, after the death of the first caliph, Abdullah Saffah, when the second Abbasid caliph, Abu Jafar Al-Mansur faced the revolt of Abdullah bin Ali, Abu Muslim Al-Khurāsāni himself marched with his Khurāsāni army and successfully suppressed the revolution. Despite Abu Muslim Al-Khurāsāni's great contributions during the Abbasid revolution and also in the establishment of the Abbasid caliphate, he was executed by the second Abbasid caliph, Abu Jafar Al-Mansur soon after the establishment of the new caliphate. It was essential for the Abbasid caliph to execute Abu Muslim Al-Khurāsāni in order to establish full control over the entire caliphate. After his death, the Khurāsāni autonomy was also demolished and only when Abu Jafar Al-Mansur exercised absolute authority over the entire caliphate with a centralized government. Even though Abu Muslim Al-Khurāsāni's contributions in the creation of the Abbasid caliphate were significant, no particular attention has been given to his major contributions in the existing literature relating to the Abbasid revolution. Accordingly, this study is designed with the intention to identify and analyze critically Abu Muslim Al-Khurāsāni's major contributions during the Abbasid revolutionary period and in the establishment of the Abbasid caliphate.
Download or read book White Banners written by Paul M. Cobb and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2001-03-22 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using Arabic, non-Arabic and newly available local Syrian sources, this richly detailed study examines the central events of medieval Islamic history: the fall of the Syrian Umayyad caliphate and the rise of the 'Abbasid state. As the 'Abbasids forged their new state from Iraq, Syrians raised their white banners of opposition and violently contested the changes that occurred under the 'Abbasid rule. As a result, the Syrian population quickly gained a reputation as uniquely contentious. White Banners traces the divergent fates of Syria's populace in their shift from center to periphery, rooting the many sources of Syrian contention in the nature of early Islamic provincial government. The book also provides answers to key questions concerning the history of medieval Syria: what strategies did the 'Abbasid government use to rule their new province? What was the fate of the Umayyads in Syria who survived the revolution? How did Syria's tribal-military elite cope under new masters? What pushed the common folk to violence?
