Entitled \u003ci\u003eKitab al-Jihad\u003c\/i\u003e, al-Sulami's work summoned his Muslim brethren to the\u003ci\u003e jihad\u003c\/i\u003e and instructed them in the manner in which it ought to be conducted. The text is vital for understanding the Muslim reaction to the crusades, and provides the first contemporary record of Muslim preaching against the crusaders. This book provides a complete edition and the first full English translation of the extant sections of the manuscript, making it available to modern readers for the first time. An introductory study explores al-Sulmani's influences and techniques, and suggests possible directions for future study. An appendix provides translations of \u003ci\u003ejihad \u003c\/i\u003esermons by Ibn Nubata al-Fariqi (d. 985), a preacher whose rhetorical style influenced al-Sulami's work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Niall Christie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0754667723\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780754667728\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/28\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 428\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.94d","brand":"Niall Christie","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48153106874623,"sku":"9780754667728","price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e9fc9d1f-9e83-46a9-8aa2-255142ee6bef.jpg?v=1770781330","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-book-of-the-jihad-niall-christie-9780754667728","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
