One of the most enduring sources of conflict among Muslims is the
question of power and authority after the Prophet Muhammad. This
anthology of classical Arabic texts, presented in a new English
translation, offers a comprehensive overview of the early history
of the caliphate and key questions that medieval Muslim scholars
discussed in their works on the subject. Composed between the
eleventh and thirteenth centuries, these texts succinctly present
competing views on the prerequisites of legitimate leadership and
authority in the Islamic tradition. This volume offers an engaging
introduction to the diverse writings of influential scholars
representing six classical Islamic schools of theology: Sunnism,
Zaydism, Twelver Shiʿism, Muʿtazilism, Ibadism, and Ismaʿilism.
