Beschreibung:
The Arabic Historic Tradition and the Early Islamic Conquests presents a thorough examination of Arabic narratives on the early Islamic conquests. It uncovers the influence of contemporary ideology, examining recurring fictive motifs and evaluating the reasons behind their use. Folklore and tribal traditions are evident throughout the narratives, which aimed to promote individual, tribal and regional fame through describing military prowess in the battles for the spread of Islam. Common tropes are encountered across the materials, which all serve a central theme; the moral superiority of the Muslims, which destined them to victory in God's plan.
Introduction Chapter 1: Tribal Lore on the Conquests Chapter 2: Tropes of Islamic Superiority Chapter 3: Yarm¿k - Another View Chapter 4: ¿Umar in Jerusalem Chapter 5: When Muslims Meet Infidels Chapter 6: The Conquest of Egypt: Ibn ¿Abd al-¿akam and Beyond Epilogue
