Islam, Nationalism and Communism in a Traditional Society: The Case of Sudan
First Published in 1978. The studies contained in this volume have one thing in common: they describe the overwhelming impact of Islam on Sudanese society and politics from the formative years of the Sudanese political community until the abortive communist coup in July 1971. It gives an account of the emergence of sectarian politics, in the Anglo-Egyptian setting, and analyses its roots and the reasons for its success

From Sufism to Fundamentalism: The Mahdiyya and the Wahhabiyya
Both the Wahhabiyya and the Mahdiyya were based on different styles of tajdid (renewal). The Mahdiyya was based on the charisma of its leader and was a leader oriented tajdid movement. The Wahhabiyya, on the other hand, was a message oriented movement, which viewed Sufism with hostility. In contrast to Sufi traditions, which embraced al-Mahdi al-Muntazar, who claimed that he was _Khalifat Rasul Allah, Ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab embraced tawhid (Unitarian…

The search for the sources of the White Nile and Egyptian–Sudanese relations
The exact southernmost source of the White Nile was discovered by the German explorer Burckhardt Waldecker on 12 November 1937. It was a thin trickle of water bubbling from a spring in the hills of Burundi. Other water sources of the Nile start their journey in the snow melt fed creeks of the Mountains of the Moon in Rwanda. ‘Waldecker set up a stela to mark the spot and on the nearest hilltop built a stone pyramid to remind people of the gloriou…

Mahdism and Islamism in Sudan
On 30 June 1989, a military coup overthrew the democratically elected government of al-Sadiq al-Mahdi in Sudan and replaced it with a fundamentalist Muslim dictatorship headed by Colonel ʿUmar Hasan al-Bashir and adhering to the radical Islamic ideology of the National Islamic Front (NIF), under the leadership of Dr. Hasan al-Turabi. Since June 1881 when Muhammad Ahmad ibn ʿAbdallah declared that he was the expected mahdī , the religious-politica…

Until 1948, both Palestine and the Sudan were effectively under British rule. Though the Sudan was ostensibly an Anglo-Egyptian condominium, it was generally known that the Egyptian government was itself dependent on Whitehall and hence played second fiddle, at best, in matters concerning the Sudan. Palestine had become a British mandatory area after the First World War and consequently was also under HMG's tutelage. It was therefore no wonder th…

British policy towards the Ansar in Sudan: A note on an historical controversy
Following the Anglo-Egyptian reconquest of the Sudan in 1896-98, the basic aim of the new rulers of the so-called Condominium was to eradicate all traces of Mahdism and other forms of what they viewed as 'Muslim fanaticism' and to encourage 'Orthodox Islam', as propagated in al-Azhar. To do so the Mahdiyya was declared illegal and all its writings as well as its prayer book (ratib al-imam al-mahdi) were banned. Sufism was also viewed with suspici…
Lampson's ultimatum to Faruq, 4 February, 1942
The ultimatum submitted by Sir Miles Lampson (later Lord Killearn), the British ambassador in Egypt, to King Faruq, on February 4, 1942, has come to be regarded as a landmark in Egypt's political history. It humiliated the palace, and brought the Wafd back to power after more than four years in the political wilderness. Yet the Wafd's return was made in unfortunate circumstances, as it resumed power by threat of British military intervention, and…

Islam and State in Numayri's Sudan
Opening ParagraphThe relationship between Islam and State has been a problematic feature of Sudanese politics both before independence and after. To a certain extent this is the result of the very nature of Islam in which the unity of 'Church and State' is taken for granted. However, the history of the Sudan has been affected by several other sociopolitical factors which complicated matters even further

Some Social and Economic Aspects of Turco-Egyptian Rule in the Sudan
Between 1821 and 1885 most of the area constituting the present Sudan came under Turko-Egyptian rule. The annexation of the Sudan to Egypt was undertaken in 1820-1 by Muhammad 'Ali, the Ottoman Wali of Egypt, and was completed under his grandson, the Khedive Isma'il, who extended this rule to the Great Lakes in the south and to Bahr al-Ghazal and Darfur in the west. In the history of the Sudan, this period became known as the (first) Turkiyya. Th…

The Condominium revisited: The Anglo-Egyptian Sudan 1934–1956: a review article
The Anglo-Egyptian Sudan has, in recent years, attracted an ever-growing volume of research. In part, this may be attributed to the easier access to archival sources, both in England and—to a lesser extent—in the Nile Valley. In addition, there has evolved an increasing interest in bilateral relations between Egypt and the Sudan, prompted in part by the political outlook of Presidents Sadat and Numayri, and even more important, by the apparent de…

The Sudan under Islamist rule
On 30 June 1989 a group of army officers seized power in Sudan and overthrew the democratically elected government headed by al‐Mahdi. The coup was engineered by the NIF, founded in 1985 by the Muslim Brothers. This article examines how the Muslim Brothers succeeded in penetrating the army and gaining a foothold within the officer corps, and attempts to explain why a political‐religious movement opted for a military takeover. The political and id…

The present study examines President Ja'far Numayrī's experiment of reinstating Islamic law in the Sudan and the methods employed to this end, in the light of its historical context and sources of inspiration. Islamist legislation, legal circulars and judicial practice are here utilized as source material for the analysis of the methodology employed in Numayrī's experiment and its application with a view to evaluating their impact on the uncodifi…
