Produktbeschreibung

"One of the most enduring sources of conflict among Muslims is the question of power and authority after the Prophet Muòhammad. This anthology of classical Arabic texts, presented in a new English translation, offers a comprehensive overview of the early history of the caliphate and medieval Muslim scholarly discussions on the subject.
