...The Ottoman Empire: The Rise, Fall and Influence in Today's Middle East By: Robert Rosen M01 A1 Written Assignment Throughout history, there have been many empires. Some of them lasted years, some lasted decades. But one stands alone as the longest running empire. The Ottoman Empire ruled from 1280-1922. The Empire saw 37 Sultans and an expansion of power and control over most of the Middle East and parts of Europe and Africa. The Empire had a slow, but sudden burst of growth. That burst was immediately followed by their undoing. But it left behind a long legacy which is still felt to this day in the Middle East. During this period, the Mongols were running rampant. In order to avoid certain death, the Turkic Kayi tribe fled. The Byzantines were being fought by the Rum Seljuk. Kayi tribe chief Ertogrul offered his stable of 444 horse soldiers to aid in fighting the Byzantines. In exchange, he was given land. When Ertogrul died, his son Osman (1280-1326) took power. He was given a sword and he would go on to fight against the Byzantines, just as his father had before him. The basis of this war was religion, with the Byzantines Christian and Osman Islamic. Osman would raid Byzantine land, overtaking it in the name of Islam. Osman refused to make peace and finally took the city of Bursa, which became the very first capital of the Ottomans. (Goldschmidt Jr & Davidson, 2010, p. 131-132) Osman's eventual death opened the door to his son to become ruler. Orhan (1288-1360)...

...Mughal Miniature Paintings The Mughal Empire was born under the reign of Emperor Babur in the early 16th century. He was a direct decedent of Timur and was affected by Persian culture, which significantly influenced his reign and those of the Mughal emperors that followed in the Indian subcontinent. Babur seized power of India from a previous Islamic dynasty known as the Lodis on his arrival from eastern Iran. Islamic rulers had a stronghold on the central areas of north India since the late 12th century. However, much of the northern subcontinent was under Hindu rule. The Hindu kingdoms were heirs to India’s rich artistic history even though the minimal Islamic presence discouraged non-Muslim artistic traditions. Most of the Hindu states were ruled by Rajput’s and contained painters working under royal, priestly, or merchant patronage. Majority of the paintings were of the God Krishna. Real people were not found in pre-Mughal paintings. In these paintings bright and flat colors were without any shading while the figures were highly stylized. Manuscript illustration from the Bhagavata Purana, 1525. Manuscript illustration from the Bhagavata Purana, 1525. Artists from different areas interacted with one another and sought employment without concern for the religious affiliation of the patron. A family or two local artists satisfied painting needs. Once Emperor Babur took control, he established painting workshops. Babur hired artists from Iran as well as those from...

...This page intentionally left blank An Introduction to Islamic Law The study of Islamic law can be a forbidding prospect for those entering the field for the first time. Wael Hallaq, a leading scholar and practitioner of Islamic law, guides students through the intricacies of the subject in this absorbing introduction. The first half of the book is devoted to a discussion of Islamic law in its pre-modern natural habitat. The author expounds on the roles of jurists, who reasoned about the law, and of judges and others who administered justice; on how different legal schools came to be established, and on how a moral law functioned in early Muslim society generally. The second part explains how the law was transformed and ultimately dismantled during the colonial period. As the author demonstrates, this rupture necessitated its reinvention in the twentiethcentury world of nation-states. In the final chapters, the author charts recent developments and the struggles of the Islamists to negotiate changes which have seen the law emerge as a primarily textual entity focused on fixed punishments and ritual requirements. The book, which includes a chronology, a glossary of key terms and lists for further reading, will be the first stop for those who wish to understand the fundamentals of Islamic law, its practices and its history. w a e l b . h a l l a q is James McGill Professor in Islamic Law in the Institute of Islamic Studies at McGill University. He is a worldrenowned...
