Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Uthman's Assassination and the First Fitna is a clear, source-critical history of the crisis that reshaped the seventh-century Muslim community-from the siege in Medina (35 AH / 656 CE) to the rise of Umayyad rule (41 AH / 661 CE).Moving chapter by chapter, it reconstructs how local grievances in Egypt, Kufa, and Basra escalated into a general rebellion; how the killing of the caliph ?Uthman ibn ?Affan unfolded and was remembered; why rival coalitions formed around ?Ali ibn Abi ?alib and Mu?awiya ibn Abi Sufyan; and how the battles of the Camel and ?iffin, the arbitration, and the emergence of the Kharijites changed ideas of authority, justice, and communal order. The narrative then follows al-?asan's settlement with Mu?awiya and the consolidation of a Syrian-centered state.What sets this book apart is its method. Reports from early Arabic chronicles are weighed against administrative habits, papyri, coin sequences, and non-Arabic notices; claims are presented in graded form-well-attested, plausible, contested, or unlikely-so readers can see what the evidence truly supports. Along the way, key terms such as bay?a (public pledge), diwan (pay register), baghy (armed transgression), and khutba/sikka (pulpit/coinage as emblems of rule) are defined in plain English.Ideal for: general readers, students of Middle Eastern or religious history, book clubs, and anyone seeking a balanced account that neither sanctifies the past nor indicts it without evidence.Inside you'll find: - A verified timeline of the siege and assassination- Clear coverage of the Camel and ?iffin and the arbitration- How legal and theological debates (justice, rebellion, responsibility) took shape- How early statecraft-pay, roads, courts-made or broke legitimacyA rigorous, readable guide to one of the most consequential turning points in early Islam.…
