Download or read book Seeing Islam as Others Saw It A Survey and Evaluation of Christian Jewish and Zoroastrian Writings on Early Islam written by Robert G. Hoyland and published by eBooks2go, Inc.. This book was released on 2014-01-10 with total page 637 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a new approach to the vexing question of how to write the early history of Islam. The first part discusses the nature of the Muslim and non-Muslim source material for the seventh- and eighth-century Middle East and argues that by lessening the divide between these two traditions, which has largely been erected by modern scholarship, we can come to a better appreciation of this crucial period. The second part gives a detailed survey of sources and an analysis of some 120 non-Muslim texts, all of which provide information about the first century and a half of Islam (roughly A.D. 620-780). The third part furnishes examples, according to the approach suggested in the first part and with the material presented in the second part, how one might write the history of this time. The fourth part takes the form of excurses on various topics, such as the process of Islamization, the phenomenon of conversion to Islam, the development of techniques for determining the direction of prayer, and the conquest of Egypt. Because this work views Islamic history with the aid of non-Muslim texts and assesses the latter in the light of Muslim writings, it will be essential reading for historians of Islam, Christianity, Judaism, or Zoroastrianism--indeed, for all those with an interest in cultures of the eastern Mediterranean in its traditional phase from Late Antiquity to medieval times.

Download or read book Muslim Perceptions of Other Religions written by Jacques Waardenburg and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1999-08-19 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its inception, Islam and its civilization have been in continuous relationships with other religions, cultures, and civilizations, including not only different forms of Christianity and Judaism inside and outside the Middle East, Zoroastrianism and Manicheism, Hinduism and even Buddhism, but also tribal religions in West and East Africa, in South Russia and in Central Asia, including Tibet. The essays collected here examine the many texts that have come down to us about these cultures and their religions, from Muslim theologians and jurists, travelers and historians, and men of letters and of culture.
Download or read book Chr tiens d Orient et Islam au Moyen Age written by Alain Ducellier and published by Armand Colin. This book was released on 1996-01-01 with total page 491 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En 634, les musulmans débordent les frontières de la Chrétienté. Celle-ci forme encore un ensemble unitaire incarné par l'Empire romain d'Orient, que nous nommons Byzance. Son souverain, lieutenant de Dieu, prétend à l'universalité politique et religieuse héritée de Constantin. Pourtant, les divisions chrétiennes sont bien réelles : des " hérésies " dominent les provinces orientales, tandis que l'Occident chrétien s'est fractionné en royaumes " barbares " que Constantinople, la Nouvelle Rome, a vainement tenté de plier à son obédience. L'attaque musulmane, que l'Empire interprète comme une offensive contre tous les chrétiens, aurait pu les inciter à s'unir. Mais les musulmans, malgré eux, exacerbent plutôt les divisions chrétiennes : en libérant les communautés " hérétiques " du Levant d'une tutelle impériale oppressive, ils les sauvent probablement, malgré les nombreuses conversions qui les affectent ensuite. Deux siècles de confrontation guerrière apprendront à Byzance que l'entente avec le voisin musulman est possible ; et elle se révèlera indispensable quand l'Occident, que l'Islam en expansion n'avait guère atteint qu'en péninsule Ibérique, s'ébranle pour délivrer les Lieux saints, bousculant ses frères grecs au passage, avant d'aller détruire leur empire en 1204. Ainsi les musulmans ont-ils contribué à l'éloignement toujours accentué des diverses communautés chrétiennes. Puis ils deviennent, avec les Ottomans, le seul recours d'une Orthodoxie menacée par un danger qu'elle ressent comme beaucoup plus grave : la perte de son identité au sein d'une Chrétienté unique, mais dominée par l'Eglise romaine.
Download or read book Muslims and Others in Early Islamic Society written by Robert G. Hoyland and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Muslims and Others in Early Islamic Society concerns the interaction between Muslims and the other religious denominations of the Middle East in the period 620-1020. This is arguably the single most important issue in the history of the early Islamic Middle East, since the Muslims were initially a minority in the lands that they had conquered and so had to reach some modus vivendi with the various religious communities in their realm. Fifteen articles by leading scholars shed light on this process from a number of different perspectives: historical, conceptual, legal, social and theological. An introduction both gives an overview and examines possibilities for future research. The period under study is demarcated at one end by the Prophet Muhammed (d. 632) who, as the Qur'an tells us, had to deal with Jews, Christians and polytheists. At the other end lies the great legal/political thinker Manardi (d. ca. 1020), by whose time the Middle East had become substantially Islamicised.

Download or read book The Oxford History of Byzantium written by Cyril Mango and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2002-10-24 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford History of Byzantium is the only history to provide in concise form detailed coverage of Byzantium from its Roman beginnings to the fall of Constantinople and assimilation into the Turkish Empire. Lively essays and beautiful illustrations portray the emergence and development of a distinctive civilization, covering the period from the fourth century to the mid-fifteenth century. The authors - all working at the cutting edge of their particular fields - outline the political history of the Byzantine state and bring to life the evolution of a colourful culture. In AD 324, the Emperor Constantine the Great chose Byzantion, an ancient Greek colony at the mouth of the Thracian Bosphorous, as his imperial residence. He renamed the place 'Constaninopolis nova Roma', 'Constantinople, the new Rome' and the city (modern Istanbul) became the Eastern capital of the later Roman empire. The new Rome outlived the old and Constantine's successors continued to regard themselves as the legitimate emperors of Rome, just as their subjects called themselves Romaioi, or Romans long after they had forgotten the Latin language. In the sixteenth century, Western humanists gave this eastern Roman empire ruled from Constantinople the epithet 'Byzantine'. Against a backdrop of stories of emperors, intrigues, battles, and bishops, this Oxford History uncovers the hidden mechanisms - economic, social, and demographic - that underlay the history of events. The authors explore everyday life in cities and villages, manufacture and trade, machinery of government, the church as an instrument of state, minorities, education, literary activity, beliefs and superstitions, monasticism, iconoclasm, the rise of Islam, and the fusion with Western, or Latin, culture. Byzantium linked the ancient and modern worlds, shaping traditions and handing down to both Eastern and Western civilization a vibrant legacy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Malgré sa grande importance symbolique, encore perceptible de nos jours, l’histoire de la mission chrétienne vers l’islam fut d’abord celle d’un échec retentissant. Face au constat de l’inconvertibilité du monde musulman, les missionnaires se concentrèrent sur les populations chrétiennes présentes en terre d’Islam, parmi lesquelles ils s’efforcèrent de restaurer le « vrai christianisme », « corrompu » par leur environnement et l’éloignement de l’Église. À côté de cette action en direction des chrétiens, un autre mouvement d’ampleur, auquel est consacré cet ouvrage, se dessina : la mission chrétienne se réfugia dans les périphéries réelles ou imaginaires de ces territoires musulmans qui se refusaient à elle. Des peuples et des espaces, figurant les marges spirituelles de l’islam (druzes, nusayrîs, yazidîs, Ahl e-Haqq, Javanais abangan) ou géopolitiques (Inde du Grand Mogol Akbar, Kabyles et autres montagnards du Kurdistan ou du Liban), nourrirent des espoirs de conversions. Réputées mal islamisées, ces populations furent l’objet de projets particuliers, fondés sur leur aptitude au syncrétisme, voire leur caractère crypto-chrétien. Au sein d’une littérature missionnaire sur l’islam oscillant entre ignorance volontaire et déclarations méprisantes ou fanfaronnes, l’identification de communautés musulmanes hétérodoxes suscita des écrits d’un nouveau genre. Ces sources, ainsi que les projets parfois mis en oeuvre, permettent de jeter un regard nouveau sur la mission chrétienne en terre d’Islam. À des époques et au sein d’aires culturelles variées, loin des discours stéréotypés, ils témoignent de compromis religieux et culturels concrets, mais aussi, à travers leur dimension utopique, du désarroi des missionnaires et des prosélytes chrétiens confrontés au monde musulman.
