The Book of Tribulations is the earliest complete Muslim
apocalyptic text to survive, and as such has considerable value as
a primary text. It is unique in its importance for Islamic history:
focusing upon the central Syrian city of Hims, it gives us a
picture of the personalities of the city, the tribal conflicts
within, the tensions between the proto-Muslim community and the
majority Christian population, and above all details about the wars
with the Byzantines. Additionally, Nu`aym gives us a range of both
the Umayyad and the Abbasid official propaganda, which was couched
in apocalyptic and messianic terms.
