Although much has been written about the status of non-Muslims in the Islamic empire, no previous works have examined how the rules applying to minorities were formulated. Milka Levy-Rubin's remarkable book traces the emergence of these regulations from the first surrender agreements in the immediate aftermath of conquest to the formation of the canonic document called the Pact of 'Umar, which was formalized under the early 'Abbasids, in the first half of the ninth century. The study reveals that the conquered peoples themselves played a major role in the creation of these policies and that they were based on long-standing traditions, customs and institutions from earlier pre-Islamic cultures that originated in the worlds of both the conquerors and the conquered. In its connections to Roman, Byzantine and Sasanian traditions, the book will appeal to historians of Europe as well as Arabia and Persia.Cambridge studies in Islamic civilization.Dhimmis (Islamic law)Legal status, laws, etcIslamic EmpireHistoryReligious minoritiesLegal status, laws, etcIslamic EmpireHistoryMinorities (Islamic law)Islam and stateIslamic EmpireHistoryIslam and politicsIslamic EmpireHistoryReligious toleranceIslamic EmpireHistoryIslamic EmpireEthnic relationsIslamic EmpirePolitics and governmentDhimmis (Islamic law)Legal status, laws, etc.History.Religious minoritiesLegal status, laws, etc.History.Minorities (Islamic law)Islam and stateHistory.Islam and politicsHistory.Religious toleranceHistory.305.60956/09021HIS026000bisacshLevy-Rubin Milka1955-1678964MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910823941003321Non-Muslims in the early Islamic Empire4046928UNINA
