Описание: In the tenth century Shi a scholars assembled accounts of twelve imams` lives, portraying them as miracle workers who were betrayed. These biographies invoked shared cultural memories, shaped communal responses and ritual practices of mourning, and inspired Shi a identity and religious imagination for centuries to come, Matthew Pierce shows.
How Christian leaders adapted the governmental practices and political thought of their Muslim rulers in the Abbasid caliphate
The Imam of the Christians examines how Christian leaders adopted and adapted the political practices and ideas of their Muslim rulers between 750 and 850 in the Abbasid caliphate in the Jazira (modern eastern Turkey and northern Syria). Focusing on the writings of Dionysius of Tel-Mahre, the patriarch of the Jacobite church, Philip Wood describes how this encounter produced an Islamicate Christianity that differed from the Christianities of Byzantium and western Europe in far more than just theology. In doing so, Wood opens a new window on the world of early Islam and Muslims' interactions with other religious communities. Wood shows how Dionysus and other Christian clerics, by forging close ties with Muslim elites, were able to command greater power over their coreligionists, such as the right to issue canons regulating the lives of lay people, gather tithes, and use state troops to arrest opponents. In his writings, Dionysius advertises his ease in the courts of Abdallah ibn Tahir in Raqqa and the caliph al-Ma'mun in Baghdad, presenting himself as an effective advocate for the interests of his fellow Christians because of his knowledge of Arabic and his ability to redeploy Islamic ideas to his own advantage. Strikingly, Dionysius even claims that, like al-Ma'mun, he is an imam since he leads his people in prayer and rules them by popular consent. A wide-ranging examination of Middle Eastern Christian life during a critical period in the development of Islam, The Imam of the Christians is also a case study of the surprising workings of cultural and religious adaptation.
Описание: The history of Twelver Shi?i Islam is a history of attempts to ?deal with the ?abrupt loss of the Imam. In Encounters with the Hidden Imam in Early and Pre-?Modern Twelver Shi?i Islam, ?Omid Ghaemmaghami demonstrates that in the early years of what came to be known as the Greater Occultation, Shi?i authorities maintained that all contact with the Imam had been sundered, forcing him to remain incommunicado ?until his (re)appearance?. This position, however, proved ?untenable to maintain. Almost a ?century after the start of the Greater Occultation, prominent scholars ?began to concede the ?possibility that some Shi?a can meet the Hidden Imam. Accounts of encounters with the Imam from the Greater Occultation soon began to appear, adumbrating their exponential growth in later centuries.
