Reaching for Power
As the world focuses on the conflict in Iraq, the most important political players in that country today are not the Sunni insurgents. Instead, they are Iraq's Shi'I majority--part of the Middle East's ninety million Shi'I Muslims who hold the key to the future of the region and the relations between Muslim and Western societies. So contends Yitzhak Nakash, one of the world's foremost experts on Shi'ism. With his characteristic verve and style, N…

The Shiʿis of Iraq
The Visitation of the Shrines of the Imams and the Shi'i Mujtahids in the Early Twentieth Century
Les mujtahids ont developpe des arguments en faveur de la visite des tombes des imams. Il s'agit d'un effort conscient de leur part pour defendre un rituel qu'ils considerent comme crucial pour la preservation du chiisme. L'importance de cette visite dans l'islam chiite provient de l'analogie entre le prophete et les imams et entre le symbole de la ka'ba et la tombe. Le portrait de l'imam montre que celui-ci possede les memes attributs que le pro…

The Shi'is of Iraq
The Conversion of Iraq's Tribes to Shiʿism
From its outset, Shiʿi Islam has been associated with Iraq. In 661 ʿAli ibn Abi Talib was assassinated in a mosque in Kufa. ʿAli's son Husayn, who laid claim to the caliphate, was killed with his companions in a battle that took place in the plain of Karbala in 680. Many of the twelve Shiʿi imams spent at least part of their lives there. The four most sacred Shiʿi shrine cities—Najaf, Karbala, Kazimayn, and Samarra—are in Iraq. Since the early st…

Fiscal and Monetary Systems in the Mahdist Sudan, 1881–1898
This article focuses on two major aspects of the Mahdist political economy, i.e., its fiscal and monetary systems. It attempts to integrate an analysis of their structure with that of the political behavior of the Mahdist rulers in order to show how the Mahdist rulers' political power and personal aspirations affected the development of both systems. In doing so, the article will be primarily concerned with the struggle of the successors of the M…
