Studies in Early Islamic History
A collection of all of Martin Hinds' (1941-1988) full-length articles which appeared in journals as well as one of his articles for the 'Encyclopaedia of Islam, Second Edition'. Most of the articles have to do with the early period of Islamic history, while two others deal with the early Abb sid caliphate. The volume is especially important in light of the fact that all of the articles were revised by the editors based on Hinds' own corrected cop…
Princely Authority in the Early Marwānid State
This study of the career of ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz b. Marwān naturally focuses on his time as governor of Egypt between 65/685 and his death in 86/705. His father, the caliph Marwān, had appointed ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz and his half-brother, ʿAbd al-Malik, as joint heirs apparent. In accordance with that arrangement, when Marwān died in 65/685 ʿAbd al-Malik succeeded him as caliph while ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz, next in line, governed Egypt. As things turned out, ʿAbd al-ʿAz…

Al-Afḍal the Son of Saladin and His Reputation
The period following the death of Saladin (589/1193) was a formative one in the history of the Ayyūbid empire. It saw the eventual establishment of Saladin's younger brother Sayf al-Dīn al-Malik al-ʿĀdil as the acknowledged sovereign of the various territories ruled by members of the Ayyūbid family, overturning the succession arrangements that Saladin had put into place; and it established modes of behaviour to be followed, mutatis mutandis , fol…

Muslims, Mongols and Crusaders
The period from about 1100 to 1350 in the Middle East was marked by continued interaction between the local Muslim rulers and two groups of non-Muslim invaders: the Frankish crusaders from Western Europe and the Mongols from northeastern Asia. In deflecting the threat those invaders presented, a major role was played by the Mamluk state which arose in Egypt and Syria in 1250. The Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies has, from 19…

The Idea of Idolatry and the Emergence of Islam
Why and under what circumstances did the religion of Islam emerge in a remote part of Arabia at the beginning of the seventh century? Traditional scholarship maintains that Islam developed in opposition to the idolatrous and polytheistic religion of the Arabs of Mecca and the surrounding regions. In this study of pre-Islamic Arabian religion, G. R. Hawting adopts a comparative religious perspective to suggest an alternative view. By examining the…

Aristocratic Violence and Holy War
John Wansbrough, Islam, and monotheism
John Wansbrough has elaborated a model of the emergence of Islam, one of the chief merits of which is to place Islam squarely within the development of Semitic or Middle Eastern monotheism. This article draws attention to the way in which Islam's own tradition about its origins, and most modern scholarship which has worked within the framework provided by Muslim tradition, has the effect of distancing Islam from the development of the wider strea…

An Ascetic Vow and an Unseemly Oath
In societies where oaths and vows are taken seriously the problem inevitably arises of how to escape from them when necessary. The story of Jephthah and his daughter in Judges 11.3Off. illustrates what might happen if no escape mechanism is sought. In both the Bible (Num. 30:3) and the Qur՚ān (5:89) we are told that we must fulfil our oaths and vows, but both scriptures also set out acceptable ways of atonement for certain occasions when fulfilme…

The role of Qur'ān and ḥadīth in the legal controversy about the rights of a divorced woman during her 'waiting period' ('idda)
In Muslim law one of the topics of dispute which is traced back to some of the earliest authorities, and which persists as a difference between the various madhhabs and sects, concerns the obligations owed by her former husband towards a wife who has been divorced. Schacht attempted a summary of the positions taken in the dispute together with an explanation for them:The Medinese hold that the definitely divorced wife who is not pregnant, can cla…

A history of the Muslim world from its origins to the dawn of modernity
The significance of the slogan lā ḥukma illā lillāh and the references to the ḥudūd in the traditions about the Fitna and the murder of 'Uthmān
The aim of this paper is to elucidate some of the phrases and slogans which occur in the Muslim traditions about the Fitna, the first 'civil war' in Islam, which, according to tradition, begins with the murder of the caliph 'Uthmān in 36/656 and ends with the recognition of Mu'āwiya as caliph in 41/661. These phrases and slogans are discussed in the light of ideas and terminology found in Judaism, and it is suggested that a better understanding o…
