This panel, chaired by Dr Shainool Jiwa, reviews the changing perspectives of Islam, as it’s viewed by internal and external lenses. George Beck outlines the evolving notions of leadership and statehood in the Islamic world from the perspective of premodern Western sources. Muhammad Ali Sohail examines texts describing the hospital, under Abbasid Caliph Harun ar-Rashid, dismantling historical assumptions of its connection with Christian, Syrian hospitals. Uzair Ibrahim explores the overlap of historical and metaphysical accounts of the early development of Islam.
