Hugh Kennedy of Fredericton shares an inspiring personal story of giving a kidney to a family member.

The Abbasid caliphs sat at the head of a vast Islamic empire that stretched from Tunisia to the frontiers of India, which they ruled over for several centuries. But how did they first come to power? What tools did they utilise to control such a significant swathe of land? And to what extent were they responsible for a 'Golden Age of Islam'? Speaking to Emily Briffett, Hugh Kennedy charts the rise and fall of a multicultural medieval empire and answers your top questions – on everything from the harem of the strictly structured court to the enormous amount of scholarship that flowed through the caliphate.

Speakers: Hugh Kennedy, Josephine van den Bent. Interviewer: Edmund Hayes. Hugh Kennedy is Professor of Arabic at SOAS in the University of London and from 2022 he has been teaching in the History Department at University College London.  Josephine van den Bent is a researcher on the Source of Life project at Radboud University and assistant professor of Medieval History at the University of Amsterdam.

Sold as a slave to the great Abbasid Caliph, al-Khayzuran quickly rose to the very top of the pyramid. Through marriage and motherhood, she became wife of the caliph and then Queen Mother and in both instances she wielded extraordinary power. In the court at Baghdad - the very heart of the civilised world - al-Khayzuran had major influence and it is possible that during her lifetime, she was the most powerful woman in the world, determining politics from Morocco to Afghanistan. Some even say she assassinated one of her sons, and put a second on the throne. Listen as William and Anita are joined by Hugh Kennedy to discuss the extraordinary life of al-Khayzuran. **Empire Live** Tickets for our live show go on sale on THIS Thursday, but for members of the Empire Club tickets are available in the pre-sale as of 9am GMT TODAY!

Geçen yazımda söz verdiğim üzere, meraklısı ve ilgilisi için, İslâm coğrafyasına dair bir okuma listesini takdim ediyorum. Liste elbette çok daha detaylandırılabilir, eklemeler- çıkarmalar yapılabilir. O açıdan, bahsedeceğim kitaplara, bir gazete yazısının ebatlarına sığacak şekilde hazırlanmış “başlangıç önerileri” gözüyle bakılması daha doğru olacaktır. Genel: Coğrafyanın geneline dair okumalarla başlama adına, Ira Lapidus'un “İslâm Toplumları Tarihi”yle konuya giriş yapabiliriz. Prof. Dr. Âdem Apak'ın “Siyer-i Nebî”si, bilhassa İslâm'ın doğuş yıllarına dair çok sağlam bir kaynaktır. Prof. Dr. Namık Sinan Turan imzalı “Hilafet - Erken Dönemden Osmanlı'nın Son Yüzyılına”, panoramik bir bakış sunması açısından tavsiye edilir. Oral Sander'in “Anka'nın Yükselişi ve Düşüşü” ise, özet bir Osmanlı tarihi olması bakımından dikkate değer. Ortadoğu: Ilan Pappe'nin kaleme aldığı “Filistin'de Etnik Temizlik”, bence her Müslümanın muhakkak okuması icap eden bir başyapıt. Amin Maalouf'a ait “Arapların Gözünden Haçlı Seferleri”, dünün bugüne ne kadar benzediğini göstermesi bakımdan mühim. Nikolaos Van Dam'ın “Suriye'de İktidar Mücadelesi”, dışarıdan bir bakış sunuyor. Richard P. Mitchell'in “Müslüman Kardeşler” adlı eseri, Mısır yakın tarihinin dikkatli bir panoraması. Ervand Abrahamian'ın yazdığı “Modern İran Tarihi”, Stephen Kinzer imzalı “Şah'ın Bütün Adamları” ve Arshin Adib-Moghaddam'ın editörlüğünde hazırlanan “Ayetullah Humeyni - Politik ve Entelektüel Biyografi” İran için özel tavsiyeler. Balkanlar: Türkiye Maarif Vakfı'nın yakınlarda yayınladığı “Balkanlarda Türk Edebiyatı Tarihi” adlı eser, vazgeçilmez bir başvuru kaynağı. Prof. Dr. Mustafa İsen ve Prof. Dr. Tuba Durmuş tarafından hazırlanan kitap, sadece edebiyat alanıyla sınırlı değil, Balkanlara dair özet bir siyasî çerçevenin yanında dört başı mamur bir kültür tarihi de vaat ediyor. Mark Mazover'in “Selanik”i ve Barbara Jelavich'in iki ciltlik “Balkan Tarihi” keza gözden kaçırılmaması gereken kitaplar. Mağrib-Endülüs: Prof. Dr. İsmail Ceran'ın “Fas Tarihi”, Lucette Valensi imzalı “Avrupa'da Müslümanlar” ve Matthew Carr'ın “Kan ve İman”ıyla birlikte okunmalı. Bunlara bir de Maria Rosa Menocal'in ölümsüz eseri “Dünyanın İncisi Endülüs”, Hugh Kennedy'nin “Endülüs - Müslüman İspanya ve Portekiz'in Siyasî Tarihi” ve Prof. Dr. Mehmet Özdemir'in artık klasik bir başvuru kaynağına dönüşen “Endülüs” adlı kitabı eklenirse tamamdır. Afrika: Prof. Dr. Ahmet Kavas'ın “Geçmişten Günümüze Afrika” adlı kitabı, sıkı bir başlangıç için ideal. Dr. Murat Yiğit'in yakın dönemde yayınlanan “Afrika'da Askeri Darbeler ve Dış Müdahale” adlı hacimli çalışması, dikkat çekici detaylar sunuyor. Afrika deyince elbette İmam Abdullah Harun'dan vazgeçemeyiz:

narrated by Chris Gratien featuring Hugh Kennedy, Joshua White, Fahad Bishara, Maryam Patton, and Jeannie Miller | The first decades of Islam were characterized by a rapid territorial expansion accompanied by conflicts over leadership following the death of the Prophet Muhammad. Despite opposition from the supporters of Ali ibn Abi Talib, Muawiya Ibn Abi Sufyan would become Caliph and establish a dynasty for his clan: the Banu Umayyah. The next centuries of Islamic history would be defined by the imperial Caliphates of the Umayyads and Abbasids, who controlled empires stretching from the Atlantic Ocean to India. This episode of The Making of the Islamic World focuses on the creation of these Islamic empires, their institutional legacy, and the intellectual life of the Abbasid Caliphate during its height. We conclude with the Abbasid luminary al-Jahiz and what his writings tell us about the changing social fabric of the Abbasid world during the 9th century. « Click for More »

AL-ANDALUS! THE TREASURES OF MOORISH SPAIN & PORTUGAL. A day of programme exploring the music and culture of Al-Andalus - the 800 year period of Muslim rule in Spain and Portugal which ended in 1492. Al-Andalus was both a beacon of learning and knowledge in the Middle Ages and a place of subordination for Christians and Jews. The music and culture which emerged from the three faiths left a unique legacy. Hannah French is joined in the studio by guests including musicologist Jonathan Shannon, Islamic art historian Sabiha al Khemir and historian Hugh Kennedy to explore the music and culture of Al-Andalus, with contributions from linguist Dr Alice Corr and food writer Claudia Roden. 1200 - Hannah French introduces us to some of sights and sounds pf Al-Andalus alongside guests Sabiha al Khemir and Hugh Kennedy. 1215 – THE MUSIC OF AL-ANDALUS Singer and performer Belinda Sykes delves into the Arabic influences on the music of the Iberian Peninsula - connections, parallels and differences between the various secular repertoires of medieval Spain. 1315 - Hannah French and guests explore how the culture of Al-Andalus has influenced modern-day Spanish and Portuguese language, architecture, food, literature and music, including contributions from linguist Dr Alice Corr (Birmingham University) and food writer Claudia Roden. 1345 - FADO, & FLAMENCO – legacy of a different sort Elizabeth Kinder delves into more contemporary Spanish and Portuguese music including fado, flamenco and fandango to find out how the music of Al-Andalus has left its mark. With contributions from Rui Nery (foremost expert on fado, based in Lisbon), Juan Pinilla (flamenco singer, based in Granada) and Anita La Maltesa (performer of fandango and flamenco dance, based in London). 1410 – Hannah French and guests ask where the Al-Andalus traditions are most alive today, in music, language, architecture and writing. 1415 - AMINA ALAOUI Amina Alaoui is a Moroccan-born exponent of the Andalus tradition, who really opened the doors for female singers to perform this repertoire. Having studied in Granada, she specialises in the gharnati (the Arabic word for Granada) style of music. Amina talks about her studies, her career and about her love of this music, and we hear some of her favourite music. 1430 - Hannah French and her studio guests return to examine some of the myths and memories of Al-Andalus amongst Muslims and Europeans today 1440 - ORCHESTRE ARABO-ANDALOUI DE FEZ This musical tradition is still very much alive in north Africa today, but much less so in Spain and Portugal. We hear from musician Mohammed Briouel, artistic director of the Morocco-based Orchestre Arabo-Andaloui de Fes, to find out what this music means to him and his peers. 1450 Hannah French and her guests sum up the afternoon with final thoughts and some delicious treats courtesy of Claudia Roden!

It's hard to imagine today, but the East, what we refer to now as the Middle East, was once a pinnacle of civilization.  Like all great civilizations, it struggled with conflict between personal values and its laws, about succession and tribalism and security. It evolved a form of rule in the Islamic world that lasted for almost 1300 years..by any account a pretty good run.   Today that rule, what was once called the Caliphate, has been morphed into something far removed from it’s original meaning. As such, it has become a word that embodies the worst, not the best of civilization.  Esteemed historian Hugh Kennedy puts all of this in perspective in Caliphate: The History of an Idea My conversation with Hugh Kennedy:

with Hugh Kennedyhosted by Taylan GüngörDownload the podcastFeed | iTunes | SoundcloudWhat is a caliphate? Who can be caliph? What is the history of the idea? How can we interpret and use it today? In this podcast we discuss with Prof Hugh Kennedy his forthcoming book The Caliphate (Pelican Books) and the long-term historical context to the idea of caliphate. Tracing the history from the choosing of the first caliph Abu Bakr in the immediate aftermath of the Prophet Muhammad’s death in 632, the Orthodox (Rashidun) caliphs (632-661), the Umayyads (661-750), the Abbasids (750-1258) and the use of the idea of caliphate by the Ottomans down to the emergence of another Abu Bakr as “caliph” of the IS in 2014.« Click for More »

The history of the world as told through one hundred of the objects that time has left behind. The objects are from the British Museum and tell the story of humanity over the past 2 million years. They are chosen by the museum's director, Neil MacGregor. This week he is exploring the world along and beyond the Silk Road in the 7th century AD at a time when the teachings of the prophet Muhammad were transforming the Middle East forever. Today he looks at how the Syrian capital Damascus was rapidly becoming the centre of a new Islamic empire. He tells the story through two gold coins that perfectly capture the moment - with contributions from the historian Hugh Kennedy and the anthropologist Madawi Al-Rasheed. Producer: Rebecca Stratford.

Melvyn Bragg and guests Robert Hoyland, Robert Irwin and Hugh Kennedy discuss the life and ideas of the 14th-century Arab philosopher of history Ibn Khaldun.Ibn Khaldun was a North African statesman who retreated into the desert in 1375. He emerged having written one of the most important ever studies of the workings of history.Khaldun was born in Tunis in 1332. He received a supremely good education, but at 16 lost many of his family to the Black Death. His adult life was similarly characterised by sharp turns of fortune. He built a career as a political operator in cities from Fez to Granada. But he often fared badly in court intrigues, was imprisoned and failed to prevent the murder of a fellow statesman. In 1375, he withdrew into the Sahara to work out why the Muslim world had degenerated into division and decline. Four years later, he had completed not only a history of North African politics but also, in the book's long introduction, one of the great studies of history. Drawing on both regional history and personal experience, he set out a bleak analysis of the rise and fall of dynasties. He argued that group solidarity was vital to success in power. Within five generations, though, this always decayed. Tired urban dynasties inevitably became vulnerable to overthrow by rural insurgents.Later in life, Ibn Khaldun worked as a judge in Egypt, and in 1401 he met the terrifying Mongol conqueror Tamburlaine, whose triumphs, Ibn Khaldun felt, bore out his pessimistic theories.Over the last three centuries Ibn Khaldun has been rediscovered as a profoundly prescient political scientist, philosopher of history and forerunner of sociology - one of the great thinkers of the Muslim world.Robert Hoyland is Professor of Islamic History at the University of Oxford; Robert Irwin is Senior Research Associate of the School of Oriental and African Studies at the University of London; Hugh Kennedy is Professor of Arabic in the School of Oriental and African Studies at the University of London.

Melvyn Bragg and guests Amira Bennison, Robert Gleave and Hugh Kennedy discuss the split between the Sunni and the Shia. This schism came to dominate early Islam, and yet it did not spring at first from a deep theological disagreement, but rather from a dispute about who should succeed the Prophet Muhammad, and on what grounds. The supporters of the Prophet's cousin Ali argued for the hereditary principle; their opponents championed systems of selection. Ali's followers were to become the Shia; the supporters of selection were to become Sunnis.It is a story that takes us from Medina to Syria and on into Iraq, that takes in complex family loyalties, civil war and the killing at Karbala of the Prophet's grandson. Husayn has been commemorated as a martyr by the Shia ever since, and his death helped to formalise the divide as first a political and then a profoundly theological separation.Amira Bennison is Senior Lecturer in Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies at the University of Cambridge; Robert Gleave is Professor of Arabic Studies at the University of Exeter; Hugh Kennedy is Professor of Arabic in the School of Oriental and African Studies at the University of London.
