‘Ali ibn ‘Asakir (1105–1176) was one of the most renowned experts on Hadith and Islamic history in the medieval era. His was a tumultuous time: centuries of Shi‘i rule had not long ended in central Syria, rival warlords sought control of the capital, and Crusaders had captured Jerusalem. Seeking the unification of Syria and Egypt, and the revival of Sunnism in both, Ibn ‘Asakir served successive Muslim rulers, including Nur al-Din and Saladin, and produced propaganda against both the Christian invaders and the Shi‘is. This, together with his influential writings and his advocacy of major texts, helped to lay the foundations for the eventual Sunni domination of the Levant – a domination which continues to this day.

Download The Muslim Counter-Crusade Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
The focus of this book is the 12th-century handbook on jihad composed by Ibn 'Asakir of Damascus. It was written at the behest of Nur al-Din Zangi, who was originally the ruler of Aleppo, but who during 1150s expanded the territory he controlled to cover all of Syria and then Egypt and encroached regularly on the Crusader lands of the Levant. The authors open with surveys of how jihad was conceived, in early Islamic and during the Crusader period. There follow studies of the life and career of Ibn 'Asakir, the genre in which he wrote, and the particular characteristics and importance of his text. The second part of the book contains a critical Arabic edition of Ibn 'Asakir's Forty Hadiths on the Obligation to Wage Jihad, along with a first translation of the text into English.

Download Ibn ʻAsākir and Early Islamic History Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
"Begun in 1134 and completed some four decades later, Ibn 'Asakir's massive Ta'rikh madinat Dimashq ("History of Damascus"), with its 10,226 biographical notices, is a veritable gold mine of information for our understanding of the first five and one-half centuries of Islamic history. Now that it has finally been edited and published in its entirety, scholars will have far greater access to this fundamentally important (and to date little exploited) Syrian source. Ibn 'Asakir and Early Islamic History seeks to demonstrate the kinds of questions that Ibn 'Asakir (d. 571/1176) can answer for us, and highlights Ibn 'Asakir's importance for the study of early Islamic History and historiography, especially in the context of geographic Syria (Bilad al-Sham). Although the essays in this volume do not necessarily represent agreement as to the particulars of Ibn 'Asakir's historiographic agenda(s), each essay addresses important aspects of his methodology in his presentation of his vision of Syria's past. Taken separately, the individual contributions serve as guides through the perils and pitfalls of specific aspects of Ibn 'Asakir's coverage of the early Islamic past. Taken together, they show us how one Crusader-era Muslim envisioned the formative centuries of his own embattled religious and cultural community."--Publisher description.
