Imamate and Sultanate in Twentieth-Century Ibāḍī Thought - Vikør, Knut S. (2018)

Oman emerges: an American company in an ancient kingdom - Critchfield, Lois M. (Selwa Press, 2010)
When Sultan Qaboos bin Said deposed his father in 1970, he inherited a neglected country with a modest oil income, but virtually no one qualified to advocate for his interests to the executives of Shell Oil until he found James Critchfield. A decorated combat officer in World War II, Critchfield joined the CIA in 1948 and retired 26 years later as the first man to hold the position of national intelligence officer for energy. He was a specialist in the geopolitics of energy who was eminently suited to begin his third career. Originally contracted to advise the Sultanate on oil policy, Critchfield s company Tetra Tech International gradually expanded its role to include the development of the nation s water and maritime resources as well as major infrastructure projects in the vital Musandam Peninsula and the Buraimi oasis. Lois Critchfield s history of Tetra Tech is a behind-the-scenes view of just exactly how such development programs are conceived and implemented on a national scale. She details the technical, financial and political considerations involved in these projects and reflects upon their implications thirty-five years later. Oman Emerges is a case study in international commerce and industry that is most valuable for its insight into the age-old conflict between corporate and national interests.

Coupés du reste du monde, assiégés par l’armée de Kadhafi, les montagnards vont, contre toute attente, infliger une série de revers aux troupes du régime et parvenir aux portes de Tripoli. De la guérilla du djebel jusqu’au rivage de la Méditerranée, Tomorrow Tripoli relate le combat de ces hommes simples et généreux, emportés par le tourbillon révolutionnaire.

The Pact (amana) between Muawiya ibn Abi Sufyan and Amr ibn al-As (656 or 658 CE): 'Documents' and the Islamic Historical Tradition - Marsham, Andrew (Journal of Semitic Studies, 2012)
A written pact between Mu'āwiya ibn Abī Sufyān and ‘Amr ibn al-‘Āṣ is widely discussed in the early Arabic historical tradition. However, only Ibn Sa'd (d. 845) preserves a copy of it. Analysis of the form, content and context of this ‘document’ shows it to have much in common with other early agreements, such as the so-called ‘Constitution of Medina’ and the ‘Ṣiffīn Arbitration Agreement’. It also suggests that it reached Ibn Sa'd from al-Wāqidī (d. 823). The ‘document’ has some unusual features — notably a date that suggests a different context to that given by both Ibn Sa'd and modern commentators. On balance, however, it seems that the ‘document’ may indeed reflect elements of an original agreement. Nonetheless, no single ‘document’ from this early period should be relied upon in isolation; rather such texts should be viewed as a corpus in which evolutions in form and content can be identified.

Tout en déterminant le contexte à la fois historique et géographique de Djerba, ce travail est d’abord centré sur l’examen critique des sources textuelles, arabes et non arabes. Nous tenterons aussi de comprendre les motivations des Arabes dans la prise de Djerba.

Les catholiques de Djerba: Le catholicisme à Djerba de ses origines à nos jours - Bruschini, Jean (Amazon createspace, 2019)
Ce livre est né de l’exigence de recueillir fidèlement l’histoire des catholiques de Djerba et il est dédié à toutes ces personnes qui, tout au long de nombreuses années, se sont succédé travaillant afin que des fidèles aient un lieu de culte qui réponde à leur attentes. Depuis ses innombrables mosquées, ses églises chrétiennes (la catholique et la grecque orthodoxe) et jusqu’à ses lieux de cultes juifs dont le plus important est la fameuse synagogue de La Ghriba, Djerba, à la fois méditerranéenne et saharienne est cette île tunisienne qui offre au regard du monde un exemple splendide de la cohabitation, depuis des millénaires, de religions différentes. Sur cette terre de 550 km carrés tout le monde, vraiment tout le monde est passé! Et cela depuis l’époque d’Homère! Dans l’antiquité, l’île s’appelait Meninx ou encore «Lotophagitis», puisqu’elle fut censée être l’île des lotophages où Ulysse accosta et séjourna au cours de ses longues pérégrinations en Méditerranée. Une inscription funéraire retrouvée sur l’ile par des archéologues français en 1882 révèle une fois encore la présence de chrétiens à Djerba depuis ses origines.

Iṣlâḥ ibâḍite et intégration nationale : vers une communauté mozabite ? (1925-1964) - Jomier, Augustin (Revue des mondes musulmans et de la Méditerranée, 2012)
Constitué en mouvement social au cours des années 1930, principalement sous la direction du cheikh Bayyûḍ, l’iṣlâḥ constitue un élément majeur de l’histoire et de la mémoire du Mzab à l’époque contemporaine. Si les oulémas réformistes ont principalement affirmé leur action dans le domaine éducatif, ils se sont aussi engagés dans une action politique, à la fois à l’échelle locale, par la conquête des institutions « traditionnelles » du Mzab et, à l’échelle algérienne, en entrant ouvertement dans le jeu institutionnel colonial à partir de 1947. Cette dynamique religieuse et les actions politiques qu’elle a générées se sont accompagnées d’une réflexion sur le rapport de l’ibadisme aux autres madhâhib et sur la place des berbères dans l’histoire du Maghreb arabe et de l’Algérie. Ainsi par leur action politique, les oulémas réformistes se sont affirmés comme les leaders d’une communauté qu’ils construisaient, en réinterprétant les institutions traditionnelles. Au même moment, par leur réflexion dans le domaine de l’historiographie, ils ont œuvré à articuler les identités ibâḍite et mozabite à celle, en construction, de la nation algérienne. Dans cet article, je me propose d’interroger le rôle que les oulémas réformistes ont joué dans ce processus double, politique et intellectuel, de construction de la population ibâḍite et mozabite en communauté politique, processus qui a accompagné son entrée dans l’ensemble algérien. Pour cela je m’appuierai sur certains textes des oulémas de l’iṣlâḥ et de l’historiographie du mouvement, ainsi que sur les archives coloniales (ANOM, Aix-en-Provence) et celles des Missionnaires d’Afrique (Pères Blancs, Rome).

Peuplement et organisation du territoire dans une région d'implantation ibâḍite : le Jebel Demmer dans le sud-est de l'Ifrîqiya (ve/xie- ixe/xve siècle) - Hassen, Mohamed (Revue des mondes musulmans et de la Méditerranée, 2012)
Cet article s’intéresse aux formes de peuplement et d’organisation du territoire dans le Jebel Demmer à l’époque médiévale, lorsque cette région du sud de l’Ifrîqiya comportait encore une importante population ibadite, elle-même scindée en plusieurs groupes. Après avoir évoqué la délimitation du territoire à l’époque médiévale, l’article propose une réflexion sur l’apparition et la typologie des qsûr. Leur développement en tant qu’unités fondamentales dans l’organisation de l’espace local est rattaché aux invasions hilaliennes, qui provoquèrent un afflux important de populations ibâḍites dans cette région, qui devint pour quelque temps l’un des bastions de cette minorité en Ifrîqiyya. Enfin, la diffusion du malékisme est évoquée, faisant ressortir la lenteur de ce processus, encore inachevé au début du xve siècle.

Sedrata : l’élaboration d’un lieu de mémoire - Aillet, Cyrille; Gilotte, Sophie (Revue des mondes musulmans et de la Méditerranée, 2012)
Les vestiges ensablés de Sedrata, à une dizaine de kilomètres au sud de la ville actuelle de Ouargla, font aujourd’hui figure de lieu de mémoire pour l’ibadisme maghrébin. Chaque année un pèlerinage s’y déroule, attirant des représentants des communautés ibadites du Maghreb mais aussi des visiteurs de plus en plus nombreux. Plus qu’à une description du site archéologique, fouillé par l’archéologue suisse Marguerite van Berchem entre 1950 et 1955, cet article s’attachera à décrypter son importance dans la mémoire et dans l’imaginaire historiques de l’Algérie, de la période coloniale à nos jours. Nous nous attachons tout d’abord à la découverte du lieu, décryptée à la lumière des grands voyages d’exploration du Sahara de la fin du xixe siècle. La récupération académique du lieu, à l’orée du xxe siècle, est l’occasion de réfléchir sur les grilles d’interprétations ethnicisantes et culturalistes mises en place pour l’identification et la compréhension des vestiges et des décors de stuc. Nous nous arrêtons sur les travaux de M. van Berchem, qui firent de Sedrata un élément du « patrimoine » national algérien. Nous suivons également les derniers développements du mythe de Sedrata dans les écrits du Père Blanc J. Lethielleux, qui entremêlent de façon indéchiffrable traditions historiques et traditions locales. Enfin, nous nous intéressons à l’action des associations locales pour la sauvegarde du site et pour le rayonnement du pèlerinage.

North African and Omani Ibâḍî Accounts of the Munâẓâra: A Preliminary Comparison - Gaiser, Adam R. (Revue des mondes musulmans et de la Méditerranée, 2012)
This chapter compares Western/North African and Eastern/Omani Ibâḍî accounts of the munâẓara (debate) that took place at Ḥarûrâ’ before the Battle of Nahrawân to reveal two similar yet distinct traditions. A further comparison with non-Ibâḍî (i.e. al-Ṭabarî, al-Balâdhurî, al-Baghdâdî, etc.) versions of the debate shows that it is the Western/North African tradition that shares certain features and narrative structures with non-Ibâḍî accounts. The key to understanding these particular textual configurations is the figure of the last Basran Imâm, Abû Sufyân Maḥbûb Ibn al-Raḥîl. Abû Sufyân wrote his Kitâb Abî Sufyân on the commission of the Rustumid Imâm Aflaḥ Ibn ‘Abd al-Wahhâb, and likely incorporated Basran and Kûfan Ibâḍî traditions that did not gain wide currency among Ibâḍîs in Oman. For this reason, non-Ibâḍî and Western munâẓara accounts share certain characteristics that are not present in Eastern accounts, even though Oman is geographically closer to the places where non-Ibâḍî accounts likely originated.

The authenticity of the letter of ‘Abd Allâh b. Ibâḍ to ‘Abd al-Malik - Madelung, Wilferd (Revue des mondes musulmans et de la Méditerranée, 2012)
The so-called first letter of Ibn Ibâḍ was long considered in modern scholarship as an authentic letter of ‘Abd Allâh b. Ibâḍ, the reputed founder of the Ibâḍiyya sect, to the Umayyad caliph ‘Abd al-Malik. This was questioned first by John Wilkinson and then by Michael Cook in his book on Early Muslim Theology, who proposed that the letter was written rather by Jâbir b. Zayd to the Muhallabid amîr ‘Abd al-Malik b. al-Muhallab. In his recent book on Ibadism, John Wilkinson has argued that the letter was addressed to ‘Abd al-Malik, the son of the caliph ‘Umar II, and that Jâbir b. Zayd could not have been its author. It will be argued in this paper that the letter is an authentic letter of ‘Abd Allâh b. Ibâḍ addressed to the son of ‘Umar II. Ibn Ibâḍ was not the founder of the Ibâḍiyya sect, but rather a contemporary and rival of Abû ‘Ubayda Muslim b. Abî Karîma.

Tower-Fortresses of Ancient Magan: A study of the tower-fortresses of the third millenium on the Oman Peninsula - Botan, Sam A. (Leiden University, 2013)
The tower-fortress on the Oman Peninsula have always been a mystery to archeologists. A total of 15 tower-houses have been excavated or surveyed by archeologists in the past decades and yet their purpose inside the settlements is still poorly understood. This thesis analyzes and evaluates the existing theories about the tower-houses and offers an alternative theory by taking into account the locations, sizes and construction techniques of these buildings, using the survey and excavation rapports. The origins of the tower-fortresses can be found as early as the end of the fourth millennium B.C., when the settlement pattern on the Oman Peninsula shifts from the coast to the hinterland. The shift from the coast to the oasis brought a diversification of resources as well as a tighter appropriation of space. Combined with an increase in the copper trade at the beginning of the third millennium, this induced more complexity in the social system. The form of social organization which emerged on the Oman Peninsula due to these factors, was one which was in a liminal stage between a chiefdom and a state society, called a stratified non-state society. The tower-fortress of the Oman Peninsula functioned in such a society as dwellings and locus of regional power of a particular family or moiety. The few towers that have been excavated show many similarities, such as: he positioning of the towers within the settlements, the usage of a platform on which the towers rest, the interior of the platform consisting of two rows of chambers divided by a corridor or well, the ditches surrounding the towers and thus separating them from the rest of the settlement, the fact that all of the towers could only have been accessed by a ramp, etc. All of these similarities indicate specialization and one has to wonder if the possibility exists of a specialized class of tower-builders, travelling from settlement to settlement

Seeking tombs from space - Automatic detection and extraction of Omani burial monuments in satellite images. - Fontana, Giacomo (Leiden University, 2018)
There are thousands of burial monuments in the Sultanate of Oman. Despite some gaps in the cairn sequence, they are among the most consistent evidence of the human occupation between the third millennium B.C.E. and the seventh century C.E. For this reason, they have been used as a proxy for researching the ancient communities that inhabited these territories. Unfortunately, the majority of the extant studies have failed to develop comprehensive and systematic analyses of these tombs. The cause of the current situation is the absence of efficient methods to detect and record the burials. Traditional archaeological surveys cannot provide quantitative data for analysis of large areas. At the same time, the visual interpretation of satellite images is extremely time-consuming and cannot address the changes in archaeological data that have happened during the last decade. Recent developments in remote sensing have aimed to replicate the operation of visual interpretation automatically using computer power. This application has the potential to overcome the issues of the current methodologies used for the detection of the burial monuments of Oman. This project aims to develop an efficient method to detect and record the burial monuments of Oman automatically. This approach allows for the limits of visual interpretation to be overcome and thus to fully exploit the quality and quantity of satellite images currently available. Furthermore, this thesis seeks to go beyond the simple detection of the burials, developing a process aimed at automatically digitalising the tombs. This will allow for the extraction of morphological information that, together with the geographical position of the remains, will allow for the burials to be dated. As a consequence, it will be possible to create rich datasets of tombs suitable for use in addressing current archaeological issues. Furthermore, the automation will also greatly assist in monitoring the status of the remains over time. This is necessary due to ongoing developments and looting activities that threaten the preservation of the tombs. The study and preservation of the burial monuments are indeed urgent issues for the archaeology of the Middle East

Hafit tombs in the Wadi al-Jizzi and Wadi Suq corridors - Botan, Sam A. (Leiden University, 2019)
This thesis focusses on Hafit tombs (3200-2500 BC) in the Wadi Suq and Wadi al-Jizzi regions of the Sultanate of Oman. The main research question proposed is whether existing theories on the Hafit period can explain the distribution pattern present in the study area. In order to answer this question, four sub-questions were created exploring: the general distribution of the tombs, the orientation of the tombs and the correlation between the tombs, visibility and the dry river beds also known as wadis. Each of the sub-questions was answered by applying different tools in ArcGis on the dataset provided by the Wadi al-Jizzi Archaeological Project. Regarding the overall distribution of the tombs, it can be concluded that significant sites with large numbers of Hafit tombs are primarily located around the Wadi Suq, instead of the larger Wadi al-Jizzi and that all the Hafit cemeteries seem to have been located more closely to the area known as the Lower Batinah than towards the mountains. The analysis also revealed that the tombs at Site 43 seem to be clustered like Late Prehistoric Tombs (LTPs), which are of a post-Hafit date. The orientation of the tombs seemed initially clearly focused towards the north-east/south-west and east-west. This coincides with the variation in the azimuth of the sunrise between the months of June and September for the Sohar region. However, a site-to-site comparison displayed a more nuanced picture. The orientation of the tombs at S6 and S58 are evenly distributed, suggesting that they might have been constructed in a later phase of the Hafit period. The analyses in the current thesis also displayed that at the threshold of 1500 meters all tombs in the study area correlate to a wadi system. Interestingly, all of the tombs are clearly visible from the wadi system, despite the different distances to a wadi. This thesis concludes that current theories are unsatisfactory to explain the distribution of Hafit tombs in the study area and that more research is needed in this regard. Not only to improve existing theories or add new ones, but also to determine whether the patterns discussed in this thesis are unique for the study area or are also visible in other parts of the Oman peninsula.

Erken Modern Dönem Akdeniz hakimiyeti ve Osmanlı Deniz Gücü: 1578 - 1645 - Özkan, Osman (İstanbul 29 Mayıs Üniversitesi, 2016)
THE MEDITERRANEAN DOMINATION AND OTTOMAN NAVAL POWER IN EARLY MODERN AGE (1578-1645) The Mediterranean witnessed a clash for domination between two equally powerful empires during most of the 16th century. The last sign of this competition was re-conquest of Tunisia in 1574 by Ottomans. After that date, due to the alteration on the political and economic conditions, on the one hand, Habsburg Empire directed its interest across the ocean, Ottomans had to fight against the Safavids for many years, on the other. This remarkable shift in politics doesn’t mean the end of the struggles. The states commenced to follow new policies and the Ottoman struggles in the Mediterranean went hand in hand with the status quo of the time. In the thesis, the Ottoman naval power is analyzed in terms of the concepts of domination and naval power in early modern times and a fresh look tries to be settled for the Ottoman struggles on the Mediterranean between 1578 and 1645.

Adam Gaiser, “Shurat Legends, Ibadi Identities: Martyrdom, Asceticism and the Making of an Early Islamic Community” (U. South Carolina Press, 2016) - Tareen, SherAli (2017)
Adam Gaiser‘s majestic new book Shurat Legends, Ibadi Identities: Martyrdom, Asceticism and the Making of an Early Islamic Community (University of South Carolina Press, 2016), treats readers to a dazzling analysis of a wide range of Shurat/Kharijite texts centered on the themes of martyrdom, asceticism, and the body. Providing a rare and sympathetic window into this often misunderstood tradition, Gaiser presents a compelling and nuanced account of ways in which discursive concepts, constructs, and narratives accumulate in a tradition overtime. In our conversation, we talked about a number of the book’s major themes including the meaning and significance of the category of Shira’, Shurat and Ibadi poetry, and intra-Kharijite contestations over the boundaries of religious identity. This beautifully written book is sure to interest and spark conversations amongst scholars of Islam, asceticism, literature, and poetry.

L'architecture vernaculaire de Djerba : une démarche vers une construction bioclimatique contemporaine - Ben Jemaa, Brahim (Université de Toulouse, 2018)
Nous avons abordé cette étude avec l'intention de montrer que l'architecture bioclimatique durable est inspirée et réinterprète les éléments fondateurs de l'architecture vernaculaire de Djerba dans ce cas dans la conception actuelle. Dans ce cas, l'architecture vernaculaire de Djerba n'était pas seulement une source d'inspiration mais aussi une étape dans la compréhension et la conception d'une architecture bioclimatique contemporaine. Notre approche a été d'abord de prendre en compte les principes de la construction vernaculaire Djerbienne et, plus tard, de montrer que nous pouvons les utiliser en présentant le lien qui peut unir cette architecture à l'architecture bioclimatique. La ville entière est construite de façon à prendre en considération les matériaux, de l'environnement et de la composition des maisons et des bâtiments avec l'environnement. En effet, ce lien permet d'intégrer les spécificités de l'architecture vernaculaire de Djerba dans un mode de vie contemporain adapté aux besoins de l'habitant à partir d'un savoir-faire nourri du passé pour innover et ne pas stagner. Cependant, si nous voulons aujourd'hui construire une architecture respectueuse de son environnement, il est nécessaire de mettre en évidence le lieu, le climat et les caractéristiques de l'environnement. En d'autres termes, comprendre les particularités de l'architecture vernaculaire de ce pays puis les adapter dans des constructions contemporaines pour trouver des solutions issues du savoir-faire acquis à partir d'expériences que nous souhaitons renouveler. En conséquence, nous avons montré que les caractéristiques utilisées dans la construction vernaculaire de Djerba pourraient bien représenter une véritable leçon pour la construction d'un habitat bioclimatique autour du monde.

Trends in Religious Reform on the Arabian Peninsula - Salimi, Abdulrahman al- (Hemispheres, 2012)
This article comparatively assesses the relationship of Arabian Peninsula governments to modern Islamic reform movements after the formation of nation-states by the British Government in post-Ottoman Arabia. Over the last half century the region of the Arabian Peninsula has experienced an Islamic awakening that has played an integral role in the process of modernization in Arabian states. There are three aims of this study: 1) to examine the influence of the traditional Islamic schools of theology on re-shaping the identities of Arabian states. 2) to explore the degree to which the governments of the nation states and the prior political establishments informed the contemporary vision of religious reform 3) to consider the impact that the recent wealth of Arabian States, especially the wealth of the GCC countries, has had on the creation of the modern Islamic revival since the discovery of oil.

The Colonial Pasts of Medieval Texts in Northern Africa: Useful Knowledge, Publication History, and Political Violence in Colonial and Post-Independence Algeria - Love Jr, Paul M. (The Journal of African History, 2017)
This article argues that medieval Arabic texts that were published in colonial northern Africa constitute as much a part of the history of colonialism and its legacy as that of the medieval centuries in which they were written. Using the publication history of a medieval Ibadi text and its French translations, I demonstrate how texts like it were edited, translated, and published not only for academic purposes, but also as contributions to the production of ‘useful’ colonial knowledge in Algeria. I begin with the first translation, published in 1878 alongside other ethnographic and historical studies funded by the colonial state. I then turn to the second translation, serially published between 1960–2 as its editors abandoned the country at the violent end of the colonial period. Finally, I address the Arabic editions published after independence, which recast it within a nationalist framework. Overall, I argue for the importance of addressing the colonial pasts of medieval texts in northern Africa.

Early Ibāḍī Theological Arguments on Atoms and Accidents - Salimi, Abdulrahman al- (Arabic Sciences and Philosophy, 2013)
Le gros de la recherche orientaliste consacrée à la littérature théologique islamique a négligé les idées théologiques Ibāḍī à portée cosmologique, ce qui a conduit à une compréhension incomplète de la théologie islamique et à un manque considérable dans la recherche occidentale. L'omission de ce mouvement important de l'Islam est compréhensible étant donné que les textes Ibāḍī ne sont accessibles, publiés, diffusés et traduits que de façon très partielle. Cette étude vise donc à combler certaines de ces lacunes dans la recherche sur la première théologie islamique. Les objectifs de cet article sont de: 1) caractériser la littérature Ibāḍī classique portant sur la théorie atomiste de la substance et de l'accident; 2) examiner les textes d'auteurs Ibāḍī du iiie/ixe siècle dialoguant et discutant avec d'autres écoles théologiques islamiques, à savoir les Muʿtazilites pré-Bahshamiyya (Abū Hāshim al-Jubbāʾī, d. 321/933) et les Ashʿarites (Abū al-Ḥasan al-Ashʿarī, d. 324/936), en lien avec la théorie atomiste de la substance et de l'accident; 3) passer en revue le grand nombre d'opinions soutenues parmi les premiers théologiens Ibāḍī, et examiner les sources et les thèmes spécifiques susceptibles d'avoir influencé cette école de pensée diversifiée. Cet article cherche aussi à identifier des traits communs dans l'approche Ibāḍī durant la période de formation de la théologie islamique, et à explorer les voies grâce auxquelles ces premiers théologiens ont pu avoir accès à des thèmes cosmologiques antérieurs à l'Islam.

The Essentials of Ibadi Islam. By VALERIE J. HOFFMAN. Modern Intellectual and Political History of the Middle East. Syracuse: SYRACUSE University PRESS, 2012. Pp. xii + 344. $39.95. - Francesca, Ersilia (Journal of the American Oriental Society, 2015)
Western scholars and students with an interest in the history of Ibädi Islam and Oman are no doubt familiar with the name and some of the extensive works of the author of the book under review, in which she resumes her previous research devoted to Ibädism in Oman and Zanzibar in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. During repeated research stays in Oman over a decade Hoffman collected the material for the present volume, which, as she phrases it in the introduction, "is an attempt to introduce Ibädi Islamic theology to students and scholars of Islam, mainly through annotated translations of two basic Ibädi theological texts, in order to address the general unavailability of Ibädi texts to all but the most specialized scholars of Islam" (p. 4). The relative lack of interest in Ibädi theology may be partly because Ibädi religious literature is often obscure and difficult to understand. In fact, the oldest Ibädi theological literature is mainly fragmentary intra-community correspondence: letters (generally termed sira, pi. siyar) from imams and ulema with advice and/or explanations to the members about controversial religious and political issues. Moreover, according to European works from the last century, of which the older ones rely on only a few Ibädi sources, the distinctive nature of Ibädism seems to consist chiefly of a quietist political doctrine and of a religious puritanism. However, Ibädism presents a more complex reality. First of all, its sectarian nature is not so obvious. According to tradition, the Ibädi movement derives its name from cAbd Alläh Ibn Ibäd, who broke from Khäriji extremists in circa 65 A.H. (684/5) over the attitude to be adopted toward other Muslims. The Ibädis have been wrongly identified with the Khärijls by both Western scholars and non-Ibädi Muslim authors-Ibädis are instead very distant from them in political as well as religious matters. The connection between the two stems from the fact that most of the dissident Khärijis were from the Tamim tribe to which Ibn Ibäd also belonged. Moreover, proto-Ibädis were part of the Muhakkima movement of the early Khärijis, sharing with them the principle that the rule on earth belongs to God alone (la hukma ilia li-lläh). The Ibädi distinction from orthodox or Sunni Islam should be conceived in terms of internal Islamic diversity of doctrinal belief rather than in terms of their affiliation to Khärijism. As such the Ibädis are not a sect but a school (madhhab) that kept in close contact with the Sunni community and contributed to the general debate from which Islamic law and theology began to develop during the first two centuries in the heartland of the Muslim world, namely, Basra and Kufa, but also the Hijäz. Despite its antiquity, Ibädi Islam-and particularly Ibädi theology-remains little known and has often been misunderstood. To date the best-known monographs devoted to Ibädi theology in a European language are Studies in Ibädism by 'A. Kh. Ennami (Ph.D. diss., Cambridge Univ., 1971; [Benghazi]: Univ. of Libya, 1972; [Muscat] 22005) and Introduction a l'étude de l'ibadisme et de sa théologie by P. Cuperly (Algiers: Office des Publications Universitaires, 1984). This book by Valerie Hoffman seeks to amend the gap of three decades. Her main source is a brief and clear text intended as a primer for Ibâdï students of theology, al-cAqlda al-wahbiyya by Nâsir b. Sâlim b. cUdayyam al-Rawâhï (d. 1920), a prolific scholar better known in Oman as Abu Muslim al-Bahlânï. Unfortunately he died prematurely, leaving the work incomplete. Hoffman therefore also includes a translation of the passages of Kitab MaJalim al-dln by cAbd al-cAzïz al-Thamïnï al-Muscabï (d. 1808) dealing with predestination, a fundamental topic of Ibâdï theology that is omitted in al-Rawâhï's primer. Although it would be impossible to understand the early development of the movement and the doctrinal and political disputes over issues that led to its split into several subdivisions (firqa) without a reference to Ibädism's classical sources, I should emphasize the importance of including recent Ibâdï scholarship in an account on theology. Since theology played a role historically in creating sectarian identities and in defining and safeguarding Islamic belief, it is crucial to inquire about the theological discussions and debates among Ibâdîs during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries when the Ibâdï reform movement began to reconcile Islam and modernity. Through an analysis of modern Ibâdï religious literature, Hoffman sheds light on Ibâdï theological formulations on topics that differentiate Ibâdï doctrine from Sunni Islam, such as reward and punishment in the afterlife, free will and predestination, anthropomorphic description of God, the creation of the Quran, and so on. The theological tenets explicated by Hoffman are of great importance in understanding not only prevailing Ibâdï doctrine, but also their striving from the nineteenth century onward to avoid both Westernization and Islamic radicalism. Nevertheless, fundamental Islam remains an important part of Ibadism. Ibâdï ethical principles reveal a rigorous conception of life and faith. Sinful actions entail the loss of a state of purity and render the sinner unfit to participate in religious rites. This moral austerity leads the Ibâdîs to refute any kind of innovation, laxity, or modern idea and to interpret the ancient precepts in the most stringent fashion. Salvation can only be achieved through prayer, pious living, and hard work. Ibâdîs show a strong cohesion as a group outside of the mainstream; its dogmatic basis lies in the concepts of waläya and banda (association and dissociation), namely, the duty of friendliness toward individuals who fulfil the precepts of religion and, conversely, the duty of hostility against those who do not deserve to be called believers. The doctrine of waläya and banda has its counterpart in orthodox belief only as regards the general duty of solidarity with the faithful and hostility toward infidels. According to the general rule, true believers must declare beträgt from tyrants and their followers and they must not take any of them as wäll. A country governed by tyrants and unjust rulers must be declared a land of tyranny and injustice. In the early centuries of Islam, a serious threat to the exacting Ibâdï position was represented by MurjPites, who propounded the doctrine of suspended judgment on the fate of sinners in the afterlife and on the first fitna. This was wholly contrary to the Ibâdï view of TJthmän and cAlï and their rejection of the Umayyad dynasty. The contribution of MurjPism was crucial to Ibâdï development, for some MurjPï ideas penetrated the movement; they were propagated by Härün b. al-Yamän (fl. ninth century), causing a serious split in the Mashriqï Ibâdï community. He proposed a tolerant attitude to waläya and baräya, according kufr status only to those committing sins that deserved hadd punishment in this world and hell in the next. He recognized a middle way (manz.Ua bayna l-manzilatayn) for people committing sins that his predecessors, such as Abu Ayyub, considered to be major. Furthermore, Härün tied the faith to individual piety (taqwä) rather than to the strict interpretation of religious observances. On this topic, crucial for the understanding of Ibädism, Hoffman emphasizes a definite inconsistency between theory and practice in the modern Ibâdï sources. One would expect an intolerant attitude toward all those not deserving the status of "true believers," but al-Rawâhï's primer shows a high degree of tolerance toward non-Muslims (e.g., the British Colonial Office in Zanzibar) and toward nonIbâdï Muslims, who are treated like Ibâdîs where intermarriage and mutual inheritance are concerned. After tracing the history of the movement and delineating its distinctive teachings in the first part of the book (pp. 3-53), Hoffman turns the second part (pp. 55-237) over to the translation of al-Rawâhï's al-cAqlda al-wahbiyya and the third part (pp. 241-76) to the partial but valuable translation of al-Muscabï's Kitäb MaJälim al-dln. The volume concludes with a glossary, a biographical dictionary, references, and an index (pp. 279-344). The translations are generally convincing and competent. Al-Rawâhï was a great poet and mystic (his biography is on pp. 45-46) and the author of some works of prose including his cAqida, which owes its name to cAbd Allah b. Wahb al-Râsibï, one of the first Khârijî leaders, who was killed at the battle of Nahrawân. The cAqida synthesizes and popularizes Ibâdï doctrine by way of a dialogue between students and teacher in which the latter elucidates the Ibâdï principles of faith and discusses the doctrines of different Muslim schools (Sunni, Shici, Mu'tazilï, and Khârijî) as well as the differences between the North African and the Eastern (Oman and Zanzibar) Ibâdï communities. The particular importance of Hoffman's volume lies in the first translation into English of this important and interesting text. For the rest, The Essentials of Ibadi Islam is a basic introduction to Ibâdism, polished and well written, ideal for the graduate classroom or even the advanced undergraduate, and suitable for those wanting to understand Ibâdï doctrine and acquaint themselves with theological texts.

Ethnic, Linguistic, and Religious Pluralism in Oman: The Link with Political Stability - Ismāʿīlī, Aḥmad (AlMuntaqa, 2018)
This study examines pluralism and its impact on the political and religious balance in Omani Society, whether religious, linguistic, ethnic, and confessional pluralism or geographical and cultural pluralism. It frames the issue within its geographical and historical contexts and provides an anthropological account of structural patterns in a Gulf state which has rarely been studied. The research will observe three types of discourse, each of which attempts to redefine the components of Omani society and culture. The religious discourse and its significant effect on religious tolerance is the most dynamic discourse. In this context, the convergence of sectarian religious discourse in Oman will be discussed along with the extent to which the Omani Sultanate is influenced by the widespread sectarianism in the Greater Middle East today. The cultural discourse will also be discussed in its contemporary modern form, despite being structurally, sociologically, and politically incomplete. Finally, the paper also explores political discourse and its consolidation of pluralism as a concept in Omani society.

Preparing for the Women of the Future: Literacy and Development in the Sultanate of Oman - Yusuf Issan, Salha Abdullah (Hawwa, 2010)
Abstract Human resources play a key role in socio-economic growth and development in any society. Over the past forty years, research into various educational indicators particularly adult literacy rates and population enrollment in higher education institutions, indicate significant progress made towards gender equality in Oman. Omani women have shown remarkable attainment in entrance examinations at higher educational institutions, and they have also achieved noteworthy academic performance in their respectable fields of study. Although, women have had greater success in their educational achievements, this is not reflected in their participation in the labour market.The purpose of this essay is to analyze Oman’s educational reform, its successes and challenges, relative to the overall development objectives of the country, with particular emphasis on the female population as actors in/beneficiaries of the reform.

Oman and Omani identity during the nahḍahs: A Comparison of Three Modern Historiographic Works - Coppola, Anna Rita (Oriente Moderno, 2014)
The present article analyzes the historiographic works of three Omani ʿulamāʾ during the twentieth century. It tries to contextualize them in the historical period in which they were written, showing the peculiarity of Omani literature in the context of the Arab world. This is due to various factors: first of all the development of its history constantly characterized by the Ibadhi religion. For example the nahḍah and the reformism have taken on different meanings in Oman, especially in the modernizing era of Sultan Qābūs’s rule. Omani historiography is part and the product of this peculiarity. It narrates the changes and events in Oman and shows how the historiographer is affected by history, culture and religion.
