About the Author: Sayyid al-Qimni: One of the most controversial thinkers; Between accusing him of infidelity and atheism on the one hand, and calculating him within the rational and enlightening trend on the other hand, the position on him fluctuates. Sayed Mahmoud Al-Qimni was born in the city of Al-Wasta in the Beni Suef Governorate in 1947 AD, and continued to study until he obtained his doctorate from the University of Southern California (and some argue about the credibility of his obtaining that degree). Al-Qimni specialized in writing about the early days of Islamic history, analyzing and criticizing a lot of its historical stations until he was threatened with assassination in 2005 AD, after being accused of blasphemy and atheism by some of his opponents. After that, Qimni opted for safety and announced his retirement from thought and writing, and later retracted his decision. Finally, after a long effort, the state appreciated him by granting him the State Appreciation Award in 2009 AD, and this was accompanied by a violent earthquake of rejection and objection. The intellectual project of Sayed Al-Qimni revolves around critiquing and sifting heritage; Where he criticized a lot of what he sees outside the scope of reason in Islamic history, so he demanded the abrogation of the verses of slaves, female slaves and the king of the oath, stressing that Muslims froze intellectually upon the death of the Prophet, considering that the current Qur’anic text, which some of the Qur’anic texts of our era used to transcend. The Messenger is a human being who makes mistakes and makes mistakes, and there is no sanctity for a person in Islam, whether it was the Messenger or his companions after him, and that Islamic history is a continuous series of blood wasted in order to build the Islamic state. Undoubtedly, this made Qimni subject to accountability, whether from the state agencies or Al-Azhar Al-Sharif. Al-Qimni’s most prominent books include: “The Wars of the Messenger’s State,” “The Hashemite Party,” and “Legend and Legacy.” Al-Qimni remains—whether we agree or disagree with him—a bold thinker who expresses his views without equivocation.

إذا أرادَ اللهُ إنشاءَ دولةٍ خلَقَ لَها أمثالَ هؤلاء.» قالَها «عبد المطلب بن هاشم» وهُوَ يُشِيرُ إلى أبنائِه وحَفَدتِه؛ فبالرغمِ مِنَ التفكُّكِ القَبَليِّ في بِيئةِ البَداوةِ التي عاشَتْها جَزيرةُ العَرب، فإنَّ هناكَ مَن استطاعَ أنْ يَقْرأَ الظُّروفَ المَوْضوعيةَ لمَدِينةِ مَكةَ بوجْهٍ خاص، وأنْ يَخرجَ مِن قراءتِه برُؤْيةٍ واضحةٍ هيَ إمكانُ قيامِ وَحْدةٍ سِياسيَّةٍ بينَ عربِ الجَزِيرة، تَكُونُ نَواتُها مَكةَ تَحْديدًا.» إنَّ التاريخَ بحاجةٍ إلى نظرةٍ مَوْضوعيَّةٍ مُتجرِّدةٍ بعيدةٍ عَنِ النُّصوصِ المُعلَّبةِ التي تَضعُه في إطارٍ واحِد؛ إطارٍ كهنوتيٍّ لا يَصحُّ الحَيْدُ عَنه، أو التفكيرُ خارجَ دائرتِه، لكَيْ نَصلَ إلى قراءةٍ عَقلانيةٍ نستطيعُ بها فَهمَ الأحداثِ التي شكَّلتْ ثَقافتَنا، وبُنِيَ عليها تُراثُنا. بهذا المنهجِ يُناقِشُ الدكتورُ «سيد القمني» دورَ البيتِ الهاشِميِّ في التمهيدِ لتأسيسِ الدولةِ الإسلاميةِ على يدِ النبيِّ محمَّد، ويَرصدُ ما كانَ لَدَيهم من تطلُّعاتٍ ليَكُونوا أصحابَ حُكمٍ ورِئاسة؛ ويناقشُ أيضًا دورَ مركزِ مكةَ التجاريِّ في دعْمِ تلك التطلُّعات، مُتتبِّعًا مراحلَ هذا البناءِ من بدايتِه كحُلْم، إلى تنفيذِ التخطيطِ الهاشميِّ ودعْمِ الدَّعوةِ الجَدِيدة، إلى التعصُّبِ لابنِ عُمومتِهم ونَصْرِه، وإرساءِ قواعدِ الدولةِ الإسلاميةِ الناشِئة.

في الوقتِ الذي أخذتْ فيه أحوالُ المُسلِمينَ الاقتصاديةُ في التحسُّنِ المُطَّرد، بعد أن وَضعَتْ بدرٌ بيدِ المُسلِمينَ القوةَ المادية، سلاحًا، ومالًا، ومَنحتْهم مزيدًا من الثقةِ النفسيةِ في أنفُسِهم وفي مَشروعِهم وفي قائدِهم، فامتلَئوا — بتلك القوةِ المعنويةِ — جرأةً، وأخذوا بتأديبِ المُخالِفينَ في يَثرِب، وإلقاءِ الرُّعبِ في قُلوبِهم، بل وقَتلِ أيِّ شخصٍ يَتجرَّأُ على مُعارَضةِ الدولة.» يَرصدُ «سيد القمني» منهجيةَ الرسولِ الحربيةَ في التعامُلِ معَ المستجداتِ الداخليةِ والخارجية؛ حيثُ حرصَ الرسولُ على بناءِ دولتِه واستِئصالِ شَأْفةِ المُعارِضِينَ لسيادتِه، مُتَّخِذًا من هزائمِ المسلمينَ دافِعًا للمُضيِّ قُدمًا، وهو ما حدَثَ بعدَ هزيمتَيْ بدرٍ وبئرِ معونة، حيثُ طردَ يهودَ «بني النضيرِ» إثرَ مُماطَلتِهم في المساهَمةِ في تحمُّلِ جزءٍ من ديةِ «بني عامر»، ومُحاوَلتِهم الفاشلةِ لاغتيالِ الرسُول، وما تبعَ ذلكَ من تأليبِهم قريشًا على الخروجِ فيما عُرِفَ بغزوةِ «الخندق»، التي تَظهرُ فيها خيانةُ يهودِ «بني قُريظة»؛ فكانَ جزاؤُهم مذبحةً لم تَسمعِ العربُ بمثلِها من قبل. وتَتوالى الغزواتُ والفُتوحاتُ حتى يُتوَّجَ الجهدُ الحربيُّ بفتحِ مكة. ومع اتساعِ الدولةِ ظهرَ الانقسامُ داخلَ المجتمعِ الإسلاميِّ معَ استيعابِه الطُّلَقاء؛ وهو ما أدَّى إلى احتجاجِ بعضِهم على تقسيمِ الرسولِ لغنائمِ «هوازنَ» مُتَّهِمِينَ إيَّاه بعدمِ تطبيقِ العدالة.

إنَّ النبيَّ صلَّى الله عليه وسلَّمَ قال: «نزلَ القرآنُ على سبعةِ أحرُف، كلُّها كافٍ شافٍ.» وعثمانُ حينَ حظرَ ما حظرَ مِنَ القرآن، وحرقَ ما حرقَ من الصُّحُف، إنَّما حظرَ نصوصًا أنزَلَها اللهُ، وحرقَ صُحفًا كانت تشتمِلُ على قرآنٍ أخَذَه المُسلِمونَ عن رسولِ الله.» من المعروفِ تاريخيًّا أنَّ القرآنَ الكريمَ تَتابعَ نزولُه على رسولِ اللهِ طوالَ ثلاثةٍ وعشرينَ عامًا، هي عُمرُ الدعوةِ المحمَّديَّة، وذلك خِلافًا لألواحِ التَّوْراةِ التي تَلقَّاها موسى من ربِّه دَفْعةً واحدة. وخلالَ هذه الفترةِ كانَ القرآنُ يناقشُ في بعضِ آياتِه أوضاعَ الدولةِ الوليدةِ ويُشرِّعُ بعضَ أحكامِها، ونتيجةً لتبدُّلِ أحوالِ المُسلِمِينَ من ضَعْفٍ إلى قوَّة، وتغيُّرِ عَلاقاتِهم معَ القُوى المُحِيطةِ بهم، نُسِخَتْ بعضُ آياتِ القرآنِ الكريمِ لتُواكِبَ التطوُّراتِ الجديدة، مِثلَما حدَثَ في عَلاقةِ الرسولِ بيهودِ المَدِينة. وبِناءً على هذا، فإنَّ قضيةَ النَّسْخِ في الوحْيِ واحدةٌ من أهمِّ القَضايا الشائكةِ في التاريخِ الإسلامي؛ نظَرًا لطبيعةِ هذا النَّسْخِ وما يمكنُ أن يَتبعَه من مُطالَباتٍ بتغييرِ بعضِ الأحكامِ لتوافِقَ العصرَ الحالي، مثلَ أحكامِ العبيدِ والجَواري ومِلْكِ اليَمِين.

In the Shadow of the Sword book pdf download By Tom Holland

The Birth of Islam and the Rise of the Global Arab Empire. No less significant than the collapse of the Roman Republic or the Persian invasion of Greece, the evolution of the Arab empire is one of the supreme narratives of ancient history, a story dazzlingly rich in drama, character, and achievement. Just like the Romans, the Arabs came from nowhere to carve out a stupefyingly vast dominion—except that they achieved their conquests not over the course of centuries as the Romans did but in a matter of decades. Just like the Greeks during the Persian wars, they overcame seemingly insuperable odds to emerge triumphant against the greatest empire of the day—not by standing on the defensive, however, but by hurling themselves against all who lay in their path.

History Of Islam In Africa book pdf download By Nehemia Levtzion

The history of the Islamic faith on the continent of Africa spans fourteen centuries. For the first time in a single volume, The History of Islam in Africa presents a detailed historic mapping of the cultural, political, geographic, and religious past of this significant presence on a continent-wide scale. Bringing together two dozen leading scholars, this comprehensive work treats the historical development of the religion in each major region and examines its effects. Without assuming prior knowledge of the subject on the part of its readers, The History of Islam in Africa is broken down into discrete areas, each devoted to a particular place or theme and each written by experts in that particular arena. The introductory chapters examine the principal “gateways” from abroad through which Islam traditionally has influenced Africans. The following two parts present overviews of Islamic history in West Africa and the Sudanic zone, and in subequatorial Africa. In the final section, the authors discuss important themes that have had an impact on Muslim communities in Africa. Designed as both a reference and a text, The History of Islam in Africa will be an essential tool for libraries, scholars, and students of this growing field.

Muslims And Chiefs In West Africa; A Study Of Islam In The Middle Volta Basin The Pre Colonial Period book pdf download By Nehemia Levtzion

he Geographical Setting With in the great bend of the Niger the Volta river system drains an extensive area, covering most of the republics of Upper Volta and Ghana, as well as parts of Togo and the Ivory Coast. The vegetation of the Volta Basin changes gradually, from north to south, with the increase of rainfall and the lengthening of the wet season. In the upper reaches of the Volta Basin the Sahel gives way to the Sudan savannah, and a predominantly nomad population is replaced by agricultural communities. Cereal crops, mainly millet, form the staple food, and as the area is relatively free of the tsetse fly, cattle breeding is still important. The Upper Volta Basin, dominated by the two Mossi states of Yatenga and Wagadugu, is densely popu lated, reaching about 130 inhabitants per square mile.1 The density of this area, compared with that of the drier country to the north, goes some way to explain the important historical fact that the Mossi states blocked the expansion of the northern Sudanese empire.

The Expansion of the Early Islamic State book pdf download By Fred Donner

This volume presents a selection of the key studies in which leading scholars since the beginning of the 20th century attempt to explain the phenomenally rapid expansion of the early Islamic state during the 7th century CE. The articles debate the causes for the conquest movement or expansion, the reasons for its success, the nature of the movement itself, the impact the expansion had on the countries affected by it, and the complex questions surrounding the sources on which historians have constructed their views of the expansion, and the reliability (or lack of it) of those sources. No articles devoted to the actual conquest of a given locality are included-hundreds exist-but a fairly extensive bibliography lists many of the more important contributions in this genre. The editor’s introduction addresses the phenomenon of the expansion and how scholars have approached and grappled with it.
