Malabar Jewry emerged out of the medieval Indian Ocean maritime trade networks and in the context of intense inter-cultural contacts between West and South Asia. This book ventures to contextualize Malabar Jewish history in long-distance trade networks and their transition from the medieval Arab maritime trade (900s-1500s).Jewish engagements.JewsHistoryIndian Ocean RegionJewsHistory954/.83004924Gamliel Ophira1793338UkLoBPUkLoBPBOOK9910984659903321Judaism in South India, 849-14894333043UNINA03391nam 2200685 a 450 991096076950332120200520144314.09781283810630128381063897808276104910827610491(CKB)2550000000017856(EBL)1062343(OCoLC)818820232(SSID)ssj0000421011(PQKBManifestationID)11310091(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000421011(PQKBWorkID)10407451(PQKB)11771376(MiAaPQ)EBC1062343(OCoLC)676698399(MdBmJHUP)muse9511(Au-PeEL)EBL1062343(CaPaEBR)ebr10388525(CaONFJC)MIL412313(Perlego)4519837(EXLCZ)99255000000001785620071115d2008 uy 0engur|||||||nn|ntxtccrAn introduction to Islam for Jews /Reuven Firestone1st ed.Philadelphia JPS/Jewish Publication Society20081 online resource (315 p.)Description based upon print version of record.9780827608641 0827608640 Includes bibliographical references (p. 269-272) and indexes.A survey of Islamic history -- Why an introduction to Islam specifically for Jews? -- Arabs and Israelites -- Pre-Islamic origins -- The emergence of Islam -- Muhammad and the Jews of Medina -- The death of the prophet and the expansion of the community -- The conquests -- The caliphal dynasties -- The decline of the Muslim world -- God, the Qur'an, and Islamic law -- God -- The five doctrines or "pillars of faith" -- The evolution of a formal theology -- The Qur'an -- The interpretive tradition -- The prophetic record -- Islamic law -- The workings of shari'a -- The umma: Islam in practice -- The umma and the caliphate -- The five pillars of Islam -- A sixth pillar?
