Han Hsien LiewGUEST
It covers thinkers that I think have become more or less canonical in the history of Islamic political thought.
Han Hsien LiewGUEST
So you have people like al-Mawardi, al-Juwaini, al-Ghazali, then moving on to Ibn Taymiyyah, Ibn Jama'ah, and of course Ibn Khaldun himself.
Han Hsien LiewGUEST
So this became the first book I ever read on medieval Islamic political thought, long before I felt even comfortable enough to read classical Arabic texts, let alone analyze them.
Han Hsien LiewGUEST
Very great reader.

Han Hsien LiewGUEST
And so during this time, gradually you start to see wars and battles happening between both sides when the conflict started to spill over into physical violence.
Han Hsien LiewGUEST
And of course, when you have wars and battles, civilians tended to suffer, and this resulted in a very tumultuous time.
Han Hsien LiewGUEST
And so much so that you have political thinkers like al-Juwaini and al-Ghazali who started to center their political writings on the concept of shauqa.
Han Hsien LiewGUEST
Now shauqa is an Arabic word that stands for, if you look at the dictionaries, it usually talks about brute force, military power, but it's this kind of sheer force, right? Now, there was a lot of talk about military strongmen.
Han Hsien LiewGUEST
Um, uh, it's, uh, you know, it covers, you know, thinkers that I think have become more or less canonical, uh, in the history of Islamic political thought.

Um, so this became, uh, the first book I ever read on medieval Islamic political thought long before I felt even comfortable enough to read classical Arabic texts, you know, let alone analyze them.
Han Hsien LiewGUEST
Um, uh, v- you know, very great read.

Yeah
Mohammed HijabGUEST
... because you had like Al-Juwayni after him, Bakillani, you had, uh, what do you call it, one other person, um, Al-Ghazali, obviously, right? These three really formulated Ash'arism, and Ar-Razi, huge figure as well.
Mohammed HijabGUEST
Those four were massive names, so this was before all of that.
Mohammed HijabGUEST
So he wasn't responding to all of this.
OthmanGUEST
Imam, uh, um, uh, Abu Bakr al-Baqlani.
OthmanGUEST
