DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Islamicjerusalem has been at the heart of the Muslim religion from its early days. “The Geographical Dimensions of Islamicjerusalem” brings new dimensions and horizons to the relations between Islam and this Holy region. It delves into topics that have been overlooked in much of modern scholarship. It reinvestigates concepts and translates them into something that can be understood both physically and geographically. This work is an attempt to shed light on some of these concepts and the way they were perceived in early and later centuries. It lays the foundation and raises more questions for further scholarship. The book introduces the concept of Islamicjerusalem and the background development of this new field and presents some of the latest research to the reader. One of the main contributions of this book is the unveiling of the fact that Bayt al-Maqdis (Islamicjerusalem) is not a single city only; rather this work testifies to its long existence as a large spiritual region encompassing various cities, towns and villages. The book also contrasts the region of Islamicjerusalem with the sacred regions of Makkah and Madinah; particular attention is paid to the physical similarities between the Ka‘bah and al-Aqsa Mosque. A further asset of this book is the study of the various names and their connotations in early and later periods of Muslim rule. These evocative ideas and findings are supported with explanatory maps and diagrams.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This book is the first to study the detailed political relationship between the Prophet Muhammad and Jerusalem in a number of Muslim sources. Usually, the study of this relationship in Muslim sources has always been limited to the oral traditions of the Prophet Muhammad on the virtues of Jerusalem, the Holy Land and al-Aqsa Mosque, in addition to Muhammad’s famous Night Journey. This book takes this issue in a new direction, revealing that the Prophet Muhammad was, in fact, the true planner of the Muslim conquest of Jerusalem that took place five years after his death. This conquest marked a major shift in the history of the Holy Land and changed the face of that region. This book opens the gate for understanding the way in which the Prophet Muhammad shaped the image of Jerusalem and built its status in the Muslim mind.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The thirteenth volume based on the Giorgio Levi Della Vida conference reassesses the role of the Iranian peoples in the development and consolidation of Islamic civilization. In his key essay, Ehsan Yarshater casts fresh light on that role challenging the view that, after reaching a climax in Baghdad in the ninth century, Islamic culture entered a period of decline. In fact, he maintains, a new and remarkably creative phase began in Khurasan and Transoxania, symbolized by the adoption of Persian as a medium of literary expression. By the mid-sixteenth century, Persian literary and intellectual paradigms had spread from Anatolia to India, encompassing the greater part of the Islamic world. Yarshater also challenges traditional assumptions about the 'Islamization of Persia'. In the essays which follow, six distinguished scholars consider the historical, cultural, and religious aspects of the Persian presence in the Islamic world.
