Produktbeschreibung

Islam's fourth caliph, Ali, can be considered one of the most revered figures in Islamic history. Examining the enduring legacy of the nawasib, early Muslims who were hostile to the ascendancy of Ali and his descendants, this study reveals a period of contestation and the eventual rehabilitation of Ali's reputation in Sunni Islam.
