Contrary to popular belief, Islamic law is not a codified set of legislations, and thus there cannot be one definition of the role of the caliph. Rather, this title has been the subject of serious debate and transformation over time. In Caliphate, historian and Middle East expert Hugh Kennedy lifts the veil on the changing and contested position of the caliph and explores the fascinating succession of various leaders of the Islamic world since the death of the Prophet in 632 until the modern day. Kennedy begins in 7th century Medina, the Prophet Muhammad's city in the Hejaz desert, in the hours following the prophet's death. In the end, Kennedy delves into the modern fate of the caliphate, as the British manipulate the 19th Century caliphs to spur dissent against the Ottomans in the Arab provinces, and Islamist leaders call for the creation of a Muslim caliphate. We witness the emergence of another Abu Bakr as "caliph" in 2014, as Kennedy untangles the twisted and distorted Qur'anic history ISIS uses to justify its barbaric acts. An authoritative new account of the dynasties of leaders who shaped the Arab world, The Caliphate reveals the legacy of one of the most potent political ideas in modern history.CaliphsHistoryCaliphateHistoryIslamic EmpireKings and rulersIslamic EmpireHistory622-661Islamic EmpireHistory661-75Islamic EmpireHistory750-1258CaliphsHistory.CaliphateHistory.909/.09767Kennedy Hugh(Hugh N.),140815MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910163939303321Caliphate2893238UNINA01692nam 2200409 450 991071372730332120200810161155.0(CKB)5470000002504413(OCoLC)1183038666(EXLCZ)99547000000250441320200810d2020 ua 0engur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierDownscaling ecological trends from the spatially randomized datasets of the National Coral Reef Monitoring Program /Thomas A.
