Concept Of Territory In Islamic Thought

Book Summary


This edited volume analyses the concepts of territory as conceived of and developed in Islamic history. In legal terms the world is divided into two parts, the "dar al-Islam" governed by the Islamic "shari'a" and the "dar al-harb" which is beyond the border of "dar al-Islam." The work explores the central question of what the concepts of territory and border were like for those Muslims who were driven by their will to expand the "dar al-Islam," those who experienced vicissitudes in the course of history, or who were inspired with mystical feelings.
