“…While the conversation between the Mamluk sultan Lajin and his qadi (who was actually present at the time of the assassination according to other accounts) in account (a) might be fantastic, it seems probable that the comet was indeed in the skies at this particular time, and thus lent the situation a realistic air. (c) "During the middle tenth of Muharram [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] Oct.] a star with locks of hair appeared in the heavens in between the end of Taurus and the beginning of Gemini. Its locks of hair were to the direction of the north and this was during the last tenth of the month of Kanun II,127 this being a blessed month,"!"…”

Wie viel sagen frühislamische Quellen über das aus, was wirklich war? Von David Kiltz I. Einleitung Quellenlage Die Quellenlage zur Entstehung und Anfangszeit des Islam ist bekannter-und anerkanntermaßen schwierig. Diese Anfangszeit beginnt mit dem traditionell für die Prophetentätigkeit Muhammads angenommene Periode von 610 bis 632 nach der Zeitenwende und dauert bis zum Ende der umayyadischen Herrschaft im Orient 750. Dem Historiker stehen hier im Wesentlichen drei Quellentypen zur Verfügung: 1. Die innerislamischen literarischen Quellen, 2. die außerislamischen literarischen Quellen und 3. Realien beziehungsweise Inschriften und bildliche Darstellungen, wobei bei letzteren Münzen eine besondere Bedeutung zukommt.

“…They were converts from Christianity who had become disillusioned by fighting among Muslims during the first fitna , who returned to Christianity, and Joined the Khawārij under al‐Khirrīt b.

Conversion to Islam: A Case Study for the Use of Legal Sources

The past few decades have witnessed increasing calls in modern scholarship for revisions of the portrayal of early Islamic rule history. Such calls not only challenge older historiographic paradigms but also encourage historians to seek answers in sources hitherto neglected. Accordingly, in recent years there has been a dramatic proliferation of studies offering new historical conceptions, many of which are indebted to new kinds of source material, including coinage, official documents, inscriptions, and material artifacts, alongside more conventional forms of data like historiographic treatises, biographical dictionaries, apologetic literature, theological essays, and scriptural texts. Assembled together, new and older historical materials were now being processed, synthesized, and analyzed through the lenses of fresh paradigms and often in collaboration with other disciplines, especially the social sciences and comparative literature.The present contribution offers further support of this latter approach by highlighting the utility of legal sources for discussing the process of conversion to Islam in the early Islamic period. Following a brief historical survey, the discussion turns to address one of the central, yet highly elusive, episodes in early Islamic historythe process of conversion to Islam. The goal of this sample analysis of legal sources is twofoldto provide new historiographic insights, but also, from a methodological perspective, to underscore the remarkable utility of these sources for historians.
