Anna Chrysostomides, Women converting to Islam before their husbands and killing Muḥammad's enemies
Anna Chrysostomides
Women fighting the enemies of Muḥammad and converting to Islam before their husbands: The Abbasid-era stories of Umm Faḍl and Umm Hakīm
Monday Majlis Online on the 14th of October, Centre for the Study of Islam, Institute of Arab and Islamic Studies, University of Exeter, www.exeter.ac.uk/research/centres/csi/
Abstract: Abbasid-era texts describing female conversion to Islam often reflect oral traditions which were shared in informal settings and were likely used in a didactic manner - mimicking awkward domestic situations as a result of conversion that Abbasid Muslim women may well have found themselves in. Texts which preserve narratives of prominent 7th-century women who converted to Islam before their husbands celebrate these strong female examples. Within these stories, there is a striking parallel between women converting to Islam before their husbands do and women who physically killed men (Byzantine or Quraysh) with tent poles. This paper explores the narratives of Umm Faḍl and Umm Hakīm, two companions of Muḥammad who wielded tent poles in defense of the innocent in their communities, or as part of the Arab conquest, respectively, in an attempt to understand the symbolism, or possibly even historical reality, behind this connection.
Bio: Anna Chrysostomides is a lecturer in Islamic History at Queen Mary, University of London. Her primary research interests cover the social dynamics of conversion between Christianity and Islam from the 8th through the 10th centuries CE as well as shared practices and beliefs between these two faiths. She is particularly interested in people who vacillated between Christianity and Islam, and social situations which would have engendered people identifying with both religions, such as inter-religious marriages, children of those unions, Christian mawālī of Muslims, and Christian slaves of Muslims. Recently her research has turned towards sexuality and gender in the late antique and medieval Middle East.

    Observant Christians, Jews and Muslims have very much in common, in that they share very many values and beliefs. The people of modern day 'Western' secular democratic Nations have broken away from their religious foundational values, beliefs and traditions, and are therefore much further removed from Christianity than Christianity is to Judaism and Islam.

    Islam has only one book, the Quran, but all the hadiths are fabrications written by Muslims who deviated from Islam. They wrote them 250, 300, 400, and 500 years after the death of the Prophet. The hadiths convey the culture of the Abbasid Empire with the backgrounds of its Christian, Jewish, and Zoroastrian citizens.

    Is there modern physics or modern science teachings in RELIGION ISLAM? 1. In surah ' KAHF' ALLAH said that 7 men took refuge in the cave there ALLAH gave them sleep. When they got up after so many years, they talked to each other that they slept for a few moments. 2. In the Quran, The prophet was passing through an abandoned village, he thought that all the population have been destroyed so how the people come to life again? So ALLAH gave death to this Prophet and His donkey. After 100 years ALLAH brought them to life and asked them that how many years he took rest. The Prophets said that he rested for only some moments. 3. Holy Prophet Muhammad s.a.w' s journey 'MERAJ'. Holy Prophet Muhammad s.a.w came back from the journey in less than a second. 4. Holy Prophet Muhammad s.a.w told that on the day of judgement ALLAH will ask humans, how much time they lived in the world, so they will reply that they lived in the world only a few moments. ................................................................................. 1. According to modern science, 'if any matter moves with more velocity than the velocity of light, neglecting other forces. It will enter in another dimension of time. Just like ..... When an aircraft breaks the sound barrier it will enter into another dimension of energies and sounds. 2. E=mc^2 3. Study of space and dimensions.

      I'm not sure what you wrote, so I have to check it. However, the point as overall you are making is how come it feels something as we know that takes longer period of time feels as if it were fraction of seconds time in comparative roughly. It's because Allaah’s creation is a dual singular collective: Al-İnsaan (the Human, singular masculine collective noun) named Aadam made out of the Earth Named with the feminine noun Al-Jannat, and Al-Malaa’ikat (collective feminine noun, and each one of them is a singular masculine noun Al-Malak; that correspond to As-Samaawaat = the Skies, plural of As-Samaa’ = the Sky, that corresponds to İsm = Name) that were commanded by Allaah < Al-İlaah to prostrate to Aadam (as the aim of Allaah’s creation, representative symbolism of the entirety of Allaah’s creation, hence the ultimate point from which Allaah’s creation is read from in alignment of the Creator of all and His created) because Al-Malaa’ikat are as feminine collective noun representatives beings of the Inner Perspective of Allaah’s creation and Aadam the only earthly being is a dual himself as Name or nominal singular intact being, and highlighted as nominal and as his masculine collective dual noun (for both masculine and feminine) Zawj = Pair / Couple, made out from internally from her Nafs = Self, a masculine in form but attributively feminine noun, emphasising the likelihood of separabiliy in relation to İbliis, the danger of appearing the opposite side of the physical created to Allaah’s creation. So, once İbliis (by name, also known in make as Al-Jaann, also known Aš-Šayṭaan = the Distant one, from his Creator of all; activating the opposite within the physical creation to the harmony and alignment of Allaah’s creation = the opposite in meaning, the chaotic and the Hellish ENMITY of life) had refused to prostrate, then as Al-İnsaan is lowered from his elevated position, and his dualness is emphasised Aadam (nominal) your Zawj live in the comfortably but not to go near to the cursed tree, and once İbliis had succeeded in Aadam eating the fruit of the cursed tree, then was spilt automatically into two separate bodies of male and female, with sex organs appearing whereas before nonseparate Aadam didn't have or produce any waste as we do, hence out of the three this world or this universe or (Al-Ḥayaatu) Ad-Dunyaa was born. That in this Unnamed Earth in the Sky as beings is dual form is represented, جِنٌّ Jinn collective masculine noun and its unit feminine noun جِنَّةٌ Jinnat, that correspond to inner perspective As-Samaawaat in this world of plurality and diversity; and إنْسٌ İns collective masculine noun = humankind from outer physical perspective). The point is the one duality that we are from inner physical perspective the elemental subatomics and the outer bodily of the earth itself, - the physical lives that live on it, the animals "no animals in Earth Al-Jannat, other than Al-İnsaan = Aadam" of which the human is part of, - is within the sky (the Skies are within the Sky). And it's demonstrated with عَصًا ᶜaṣan of Muusaa or his cane that becomes alive like a Jaann (as good like Janiin = embryo, fetus; germ "in a seed, etc" and Al-Jannat, demonstrative the inner perspective of Allaah’s creation and evolution) (Qur’aan 27:10, 28:31)! Jaann, the masculine active participle of the triliteral root-pattern J-N-N of the verb Janna, is also in the same situation presented as ثُعْبَانٌ Ṯuᶜbaan = snake (Qur’aan 7:107, 26:32), either way that instantaneous transformative is same as it can happen in the Subatomic inner world, as opposed to the plural snakes of Firᶜawn who thinks he's God (Qur’aan 28:38; who thinks as if had control over the natural evolution)

    There are many Sects that claim to be Muslims, but arent. Bani Umayya killed Innocent. Abu Sufyian was defeated in Batlle and he wanted Revenge so he doestroyed concocted everything that came into his Path to diminish the Religion of the Prophet. Bukhari is a concocted Hadith Collection. Abu Bakr and Umar la. Concocted the Holy Quran, took many Verses out. Umar la. Burned all other Books, killed many Innocent People in War. And was a Coward. Yazeed and Muwiya were only Jealous and greedy Drunkards, cruel Killers. Isis and Al Qaida , Daesh are a example of their Islam. Do not believe in those Fabricated Hadiths from those Sects. The Prophet foretold that from 73 Sects , 72 will enter Hellfire.

      ​@@green1880both of y'all are the reason why the umma will never unite The correct answer is as long as you worship the one god, fast, pray and believe that mohamed pbuh is the last prophet, read the quran and follow all of the pillars to the best of your ability then you are a muslim. Shias, quranis and sunnis do those steps. Therefore the answer is we are all muslim. But from an academic perspective since I am in grad school to become a historian...it is definitely important to consider sources from both directions when discussing the history of islam. Sufism, shias and sunnis def played a big part in spreading Islam and in the history of islam itself. Cut those stupid fights and do as the quran says and READ. Read, discuss without insult and decide which path you will follow without judging one another. If you find that sunnis are wrong or that shias are wrong then what use is it to do this??? All we can do as muslims is pray to be set on the right path and pray for our brothers and sisters and believe in god's forgiveness. THAT is true islam and true Abrahamic religion Every prophet and messenger did one thing before following the righteous path...they asked, they questioned, they SEARCHED and learned and finally became true believers Knowledge is islam, knowledge is abrahamic religions and as long as we constantly seek knowledge, then god will guide us towards the righteous path and if we sin and stray then let's count how many of god's names have to do with forgiveness. I know my comment was long but I think it's time for the ummah to unite. Stop this foolishness. This behavior is now what will get us in heaven. If you are a Shia then instead of empty words recommend some readings and that goes for the sufi-sunni brother too Teach each other and learn from each other otherwise both of your words and comments are a waste of space. It's just counterproductive and may god forgive and guide us all inshallah.

      Well Anna in every time there are men and women are of different caliber. As today there is a woman who stands firm and is nominated and expecting to be the first president of the United States. Also at the same time there are women gangsters who end up realizing that being part of the gang is morally not right. If you are speaking of common women, we may have one stick for the heard. Very importantly all the hadeeth collectors did not believe in the cancel culture. So they recorded everything presented to them. So it becomes reader’s responsibility to see where it is coming from.

    It is important to note that describing the Umayyads as Syrians is inaccurate. Most of the Umayyad caliphs were born in the Hejaz, in what is now modern-day Saudi Arabia, specifically in Mecca and later in Medina. Those born in Medina were born into Islam. It wasn't until the 9th caliph, Yazeed bin Abdulmalik Ibn Marwan, that Umayyad caliphs were born in Damascus, and this occurred near the end of the Umayyad dynasty. Additionally, using the term "Syria" for this period is anachronistic, as the region was referred to as the Levant (Al-Sham) by the Arabians. Furthermore, the Umayyads' roots were deeply embedded in Arabia, highlighting their strong connections to the region. At the time of the Umayyads, there were relatively few Arabians in what is now Syria, and the local populations had not yet fully assimilated with Arabian culture. This context fueled the Abbasids, who were also Meccan and Arabian, to overthrow the Umayyads while portraying themselves as progressives and against the "racist Umayyads that preferred peninsular Arabians over other Muslims." This preference for Arabians is an essential part of the Umayyad story, as it was a key reason for their eventual overthrow. Thus, terming the Umayyads as Syrians is a flawed perspective, as it overlooks their Arabian origins and the demographic context of that period. I enjoyed the lecture,Thank you.

    Umayyad history starts at 18:00. Before that, it's Steven Judd's history. 😅 Joking aside, I'm from Saudi Arabia, and I want to thank both of you for highlighting the dilemma we face when dissecting any history before the Abbasids. There is no doubt about the Western over-fascination with Tabari, which is not the case among Arab historians and scholars. It's a similar phenomenon with Jalal ad-Din Rumi. Having the privilege of understanding both Arabic and English, I am astonished by the vast difference in how Rumi is portrayed.

    Thank you, this is a very informative interview. You'll be glad to know the Umayyad era still inspires debate in Syria. I dislike the Abassids as much as it seems to disdain the Umayyad period. That is partly because it has inspired the current Syrian war and partly because winged it for most of the period. You should be sceptical, if only in relation to the current war that is far from over. I'm talking in terms of the Islamic invasion that took place from 2006 to 2014. I call it the Sunni/Sunni split, there's more than one but that has allowed even Britain/America to get in on the act. I still think it is important to standardise accounts and repeat the standardisation because of where it has led. They made fantastic use of land as well. The Sufyan prophecies imply they never left people's minds. It ended with the Moors, I guess. Well if the tribal aspects are true or not there were certainly lots of them around competing for trade and the control of the Ka'aba. Greek influences? Pagan. It's called head hunting, the appointing of admin workers I mean. Thanks

Since it basically became a secular party and give up all its islamic values yet a coup happened against them which proves the Arab Expectionalism theory which states that Democracy wont work their due to these countries rich resources so the armies their have no interest in Democracy. So Arabs have no other choice to get rid of these secular dictators than following the Iranian Model instead of the Turkish Model.

    I really want to hear Chomsky’s opinion on 15 minute cities, compulsory vaccination, WHO, WEF, the farmers protests. No one seems to ask this, Ilan Pappe got close but I’m not satisfied😂

    Very insightful conversation. Thank you Gabor and Ilan and organizers!! I like so many aspects of this conversation. I love the beginning exchange (at minutes 8:00 to 20:00) where Ilan and Gabor mention their interests in speaking with each other to connect “Addiction to Ideologies”. Can we relate racism and dehumanization of others with the analysis of collectives or collective activities that hurt others? Can we relate history with psychology? Hence, can we feel compassion for those who are addicted to ideologies? Is there psychological comfort in believing in an ideology? Hypocrisy in conflict comes from ideologies. Addiction is about not dealing with our vulnerability. An ideology does that, and for this reason, ideologies are very seductive. Ideologies are an antidote to our own pain. Therefore to remove an ideology, we must soothe the pain, not caused more pain through violence to others (or harm to ourselves). If we can believe that there is Redemption, a Response and Revenge to the pain of what happened in the past to our families, an ideology makes it less painful to think about what happened in the past. Addiction has common features with belief in ideologies : they are both rigid in our incapacity to look at the truth, and to block our compassion, to serve as an antidote to the pain caused to us, our families in the past, and the pain caused now to others. There is still Barbarism in this world. What kind of selective mindset do we have to think that ONLY other people do it? As Gabor asks, would you rather be illusioned or disillusioned? Would you like to believe in fairytale ideas or see the truth as it really is? For me as a person interested in personality psychology and rigid mindsets and the force of addiction on us for many years, this exchange explains my own fascination with my more recent interest in conflict mediation and resolution, by integrating psychology in the peace building process. I hope you read my sincere interest in this. And if you are interested in this too, please join us in a group called Israelis and Palestinians for Peace (IP4P) in Facebook. We try to work on this as we can within the loud noise of conflict.

    I continue to hear several commenters, including Alan Dershowitz, citing Hiroshima and Nagasaki as justified self defense. Is this really the bottom line? Is this really what we are talking about? In reality, any nuclear response will end this world. There are no "limited nuclear conflicts." So what is it? Where does this end? Do you think that the world is going to "understand" Israel's Right to self defense" when they pull out nukes? We are all going to be finished. This situation started with the occupation and repression by Israel. However, the real cause of this situation is the holocaust - the unbelievable unspeakable savagery of the Europeans. I understand that that can not be ignored or forgotten. I agree completely. I don't know the answer. I don't know how to respond to what happened to all the millions of innocent people. It makes me ashamed to be a human being. There is no way out of this current situation without some level headed honesty, patience and compassion. Are we up to? Or is this our destiny, self annihilation? What's it going to be, people? In this current Zionist mentality, there is a profound and ultimate, "us versus them" equation fueled by a justifiable existential terror perpetuated by millenia of persecution. The repercussions of generations of massacres, genocide continue to reverberate into the present and future. We are witnessing a sequela in proportion to the magnitude of unimaginable horror they have experienced. The result is represented by a traumatized group resolved to never allow this again - and who have access to power capable of destroying the planet. The survivor, and ganged upon, in a mad suicidal rage, have decided to challenge the world and run into a crowd of thugs, insulting, prodding and provoking. (Not unlike a disturbed, alienated, radicalized youth who cannot endure humiliation, once more, and who take revenge by shooting up a public place and then turning the gun on himself. Its insanity driven by desperation and injustice.) The attack by Hamas was suicidal act of desperation and was unforgiveable. Israel's response of killing thousands of innocent children is reckless insanity. They haven't helped their profile in the world. This behavior only shows the world that they simply don't care what the world thinks. They are that blind with revenge for all the horrors visited upon them. Their policies and behavior are irrational and reactive. It cannot be ignored that they possess the world's most destructive weapons. The justification of killing children only results in more disapproval by the world, alienating them further, and making them a target - as well as anyone supporting their policies. Israel is saying fuck all of you in the world, “Fuck you, we are here to stay. We will never be the victim of genocide, again. We will do what we think we need to survive and ‘defend’ ourselves and we have the ultimate means to ensure our survival.” They are bringing the wrath of the world upon them - and anyone who supports their policies. So is this really what we are talking about, nuclear annihilation - a retribution for past victimization?
