Description

Explore a new perspective on early Islamic history with Religious Scholars and the Umayyads. This work examines the legal and theological developments during the Marwanid period from 64/684 to 132/750. By focusing on the scholars who supported the Umayyad Caliphate, this book offers a detailed look at the networks that shaped the development of the Islamic faith across several generations. A central part of this study is the role of Umayyad qadois, who acted at the meeting point of religious authority and imperial power. This book challenges the common idea that the early Muslim faith was primarily shaped by those in opposition to the Umayyads. Instead, it uses a prosopographical approach to show how piety-minded supporters contributed to the era's religious landscape. This is an essential resource for students and readers interested in the history of the Middle East and the evolution of Islamic law and theology.
