Two major events occurred in the early centuries of Islam that
determined its historical and spiritual development in the
centuries that followed: the formation of the sacred scriptures,
namely the Qur'an and the Hadith, and the chronic violence that
surrounded the succession of the Prophet, manifesting in
repression, revolution, massacre, and civil war. This is the first
book to evaluate the writing of Islam's major scriptural sources
within the context of these bloody, brutal conflicts. Conducting a
philological and historical study of little-known though
significant ancient texts, Mohammad Ali Amir-Moezzi rebuilds a
Shi'ite understanding of Islam's early history and the genesis of
its holy scriptures. At the same time, he proposes a fresh
interpretative framework and a new data set for theorizing the
early history of Islam, isolating the contradictions between
Shi'ite and Sunni sources and their contribution to the tensions
that rile these groups today.
