رجال الحكم والإدارة في فلسطين: من عهد الخلفاء الراشدين إلى القرن الرابع عشر الهجري book pdf download By Ahmed Sameh Al-Khalidi

تحتلُّ فلسطينُ أهميةً خاصةً في التاريخ الإسلاميِّ؛ فهي أولى القبلتين وثالث الحرمين، وقد قَدَّر الحكامُ هذه الأهميَّة حق قدرها، حتى إنَّ الخليفة الأُموي «سليمان بن عبد الملك» فكَّر أن يتَّخذها مقرًّا للخلافة، وبذل العربُ جُلَّ ما في وسعهم حتى يستردوها من الصليبيين. وقد حُكِمت فلسطينُ في عهودٍ إسلاميَّةٍ عديدة؛ منها العهد الراشدي، والأموي، والعباسي، والعثماني. وقد تعدَّدت أساليبُ الحكم والإدارة فيها بتعدد مراكز الحكم؛ فانتقلت تبعيتها بين دول الشام، وكانت أحيانًا تمثل إمارةً مستقلةً بذاتها، بل إن القدس في العهد العثمانيِّ اعتُبرت «متصرفية» تتصل بنظارة الداخلية مباشرة. ويُصنِّفُ هذا الكتاب قائمة ببليوجرافيا هامة لمن يريد أن يتصدَّى لدراسة تاريخ فلسطين في العهد الإسلامي؛ فقد جاء هذا الكتاب ليسد نقصًا في المكتبة العربية. 

«لا تُضجِعوني فيضطجعَ مُلْكُكم، بل ادفنوني واقفًا ليظل مُلْكُكم شامخًا.» هذه المقولة ﻟ «أسعد اليماني» أحد أشهر ملوك التباعنة، تنقل لنا صورةً عن المجد الذي بلغوه، والأنَفة التي تَحلَّى بها هؤلاء الملوك العرب الذين سادوا مناطقَ واسعةً في القرون الغابرة، وامتدَّ نفوذُهم إلى خارج الجزيرة العربية حتى وصلوا إلى تخوم الصين. وعلى الرغم من تناثُر سِيَرهم في كُتُب التراث، وورود ذِكْر قبيلتين من قبائلهم — هما «عاد وثمود» — في القرآن الكريم، فإن قليلين تنبَّهوا إلى الصلات التي تربط التباعنة بأسلافهم القحطانيِّين من جهة، وبمَن خلَفهم من جهةٍ أخرى، وكذلك بعُمْق الوجود العربي في الشرق والغرب آنذاك؛ وهو ما يبسطُه لنا «شوقي عبد الحكيم» في هذا الكتاب، مستعرِضًا جوانبَ متعددةً من سِيَرهم، مُولِيًا الكثيرَ من الاهتمام لسيرة آخِر ملوكهم «سيف بن ذي يزن».

القائد الأعظم محمد علي جناح book pdf download By Abbas Mahmoud al-Aqqad

يُعرف «محمد علي جناح» في الباكستان ﺑ «القائد الأعظم»؛ حيث قام بتأسيس «جمهورية الباكستان» ككِيَان منفصل عن الهند يضم المسلمين؛ وذلك عقب استقلال شبه القارة الهندية عن الإمبراطورية البريطانية. حيث رأى «جناح» أن الصدام مع رفاق الكفاح السابقين من الهندوس واقعٌ لا محالة. فالرابطة العَقَدِيَّة هي الحقيقة التي تحكم شعب الهند؛ حيث تختلف الثقافات حسب الأديان بشكل يجعل التعايُش المشترك بين الهندوس والمسلمين أمرًا في غاية الصعوبة. وعندما نتحدث عن «جناح» فنحن أمام سياسي ألمعي ثقَّف نفسه وأُغْرِمَ بالمطالعة من الصِّغَر، كما خبر حال أبناء شعبه فكان خطابه لهم يعبر عن مشاكلهم وآمالهم بحقٍّ، كما اجتمعت فيه شروط الزعامة — كما يراها العقاد — من ثِقَةٍ كبيرة بالنفس تجاورها ثقة أكبر من الناس الذين تركوا بين يديه حاضرهم ومستقبلهم أملًا في غدٍ أفضل.

مهد العرب book pdf download By Abdel Wahab Azzam

شكَّلت شبه الجزيرة العربية قوام حياة العرب، وأثَّرت في أسلوب تفكيرهم وطرق معيشتهم، ولم يخلُ الأدب العربي شعرًا ونثرًا من تأثُّر مباشر ببيئتهم، فقد كتب الكثير من الشعراء قصائد كاملة في وصف الصحراء ومفردات الحياة البدوية؛ الأمر الذي يجعل من دراسة شبه الجزيرة أمرًا لا مناص منه، وذلك في سياق فهم التطورات الثقافية والفكرية التي حدثت للعرب على مدار تاريخهم، مع الأخذ بعين الاعتبار أن تلك المنطقة كانت المهد الأول ونقطة الانطلاق التي انطلق منها بناة حضارة العرب. من هنا تأتي أهمية هذا الكتاب الذي يرصد بدقة أحوال المنطقة وجغرافيتها، ويتطرق إلى خصائصها الاقتصادية وما تنتجه من زروع، وكذلك الكيانات السياسية التي قامت فيها، وما أدته من أدوار، لا سيما تحت حكم «الغساسنة».

The Water Kingdom: A Secret History of China book pdf download By Philip Ball

From the Yangtze to the Yellow River, China is traversed by great waterways, which have defined its politics and ways of life for centuries. Water has been so integral to China’s culture, economy, and growth and development that it provides a window on the whole sweep of Chinese history. In The Water Kingdom, renowned writer Philip Ball opens that window to offer an epic and powerful new way of thinking about Chinese civilization. Water, Ball shows, is a key that unlocks much of Chinese culture. In The Water Kingdom, he takes us on a grand journey through China’s past and present, showing how the complexity and energy of the country and its history repeatedly come back to the challenges, opportunities and inspiration provided by the waterways. Drawing on stories from travelers and explorers, poets and painters, bureaucrats and activists, all of whom have been influenced by an environment shaped and permeated by water, Ball explores how the ubiquitous relationship of the Chinese people to water has made it an enduring metaphor for philosophical thought and artistic expression. From the Han emperors to Mao, the ability to manage the waters ? to provide irrigation and defend against floods ? was a barometer of political legitimacy, often resulting in engineering works on a gigantic scale. It’s a struggle that continues today, as the strain of economic growth on water resources may be the greatest threat to China’s future. The Water Kingdom offers an unusual and fascinating history, uncovering just how much of China’s art, politics, and outlook have been defined by the links between humanity and nature.

The Ornament of Histories: A History of the Eastern Islamic Lands AD 650-1041 book pdf download By Clifford Edmund Bosworth

Abu Sa‘id ‘Abd al-Hayy Gardizi was an author and historian living in the mid-eleventh century at the height of the Turkish Ghazvanid dynasty. His only known work, The Ornament of Histories (Zayn al-akhbir), is a hugely ambitious history of the Eastern Islamic lands AD 650-1041, spanning what is now Eastern Iran, Afghanistan and parts of the Central Asian Republics and Indo-Pakistan subcontinent. Gardizi’s text is an extremely rare source of primary information about the rise of Islamic faith, culture and military dominance in these regions, and represents a significant contribution to our understanding of the early Islamic world. This is the first English translation of the original Persian text, and is accompanied by an introduction and commentary which details the historical, geographical and cultural context.

The History of al-Ṭabarī, Vol. 30: The ‘Abbāsid Caliphate in Equilibrium: The Caliphates of Musa al-Hadi and Harun al-Rashid book pdf download By Clifford Edmund Bosworth

This volume of al-Tabari’s History covers nearly a quarter of a century, and after covering the very brief caliphate of al-Hadi, concentrates on that of Harun al-Rashid. During these years, the caliphate was in a state of balance with its external foes; the great enemy, Christian Byzantium, was regarded with respect by the Muslims, and the two great powers of the Near East treated each other essentially as equals, while the Caucasian and Central Asian frontiers were held against pressure from the Turkish peoples of Inner Eurasia. The main stresses were internal, including Shi’ite risings on behalf of the excluded house of ‘Ali, and revolts by the radical equalitarian Kharijites; but none of these was serious enough to affect the basic stability of the caliphate. Harun al-Rashid’s caliphate has acquired in the West, under the influence of a misleading picture from the Arabian Nights, a glowing image as a golden age of Islamic culture and letters stemming from the Caliph’s patronage of the exponents of these arts and sciences. In light of the picture of the Caliph which emerges from al-Tabari’s pages, however, this image seems to be distinctly exaggerated. Al-Rashid himself does not exhibit any notable signs of administrative competence, military leadership or intellectual interests beyond those which convention demanded of a ruler. For much of his reign, he left the business of government to the capable viziers of the Barmakid family–the account of whose spectacular fall from power forms one of the most dramatic features of al-Tabari’s narratives here–and his decision to divide the Islamic empire after his death between his sons was to lead subsequently to a disastrous civil war. Nevertheless, al-Tabari’s story is full of interesting sidelights on the lives of those involved in the court circle of the time and on the motivations which impelled medieval Muslims to seek precarious careers there.
