Notes
Hz. With the acceleration of conquests during the reign of Omer, the borders of the state expanded considerably and Muslims founded cities in the conquered regions and settled their soldiers there. Some of these cities, which were established for military purposes, developed over time and became the major cities of the period. Basra, Kufa and Fustat, which were established militarily, are extremely important as they set an example for the Islamic cities established later. Basra has survived to this day without losing its importance since its foundation. However, it is not possible to say the same for Kufa and Fustat. Kufa, Hz. By the order of Omar, Sa'd b. It was founded by Abu Waqqas. Hz. The importance of the city increased after Ali moved the caliphate here. During the ninety-year rule of the Umayyads, governors generally governed Kufa under extraordinary conditions. It served as the capital for twenty years during the Abbasid period. With the establishment of Baghdad during the reign of Caliph Mansur, the center of the caliphate was moved here and Kufa began to lose its importance. Kufa was a cosmopolitan city where many ethnic elements lived together. The majority of the population consisted of Southern Arabs of Yemeni origin who participated in the conquest of Iraq and settled here later. Northern Arabs were the only dominant element in the administration. The hostility between the Northern and Southern Arabs, dating back to pre-Islamic times, manifested itself here as well, and events that started in Kufa and affected the entire state occurred. Apart from the conflict between the North and the South in Kufa, there was also a mawali problem. The Umayyads treated these people, who later became Muslims, as second-class citizens because they were not Arabs. This group, who were Muslims but did not have equal rights, brought the end of the Umayyads. Because this group, called mavali, had prepared the ground for the establishment of the Abbasid state. The events that occurred between these different ethnic elements living in Kufa also negatively affected the state. While these events, which started in Kufa and affected the entire state, have been the subject of many studies, no independent study has been conducted examining the causes of these events. We will introduce Prof. who works at Istanbul University Faculty of Theology. Dr. Mehmet Mahfuz Söylemez's work titled Kufa from Bedouinism to Hadariism is a study in which extremely important findings are made examining the reasons for these conflicts in Kufa. With the acceleration of the conquests in the period of the second caliph Omar the borders of the state expanded considerably and Muslims established cities in the conquered regions and placed their soldiers there. Some of these cities, which were established as military, developed over time and became the great cities of the period. Among the first cities established for military purposes, Basra, Kufa and Fustat are extremely important as they set an example for the later Islamic cities. Basra has come to this day without losing its importance since its establishment. However, it is not possible to say the same for Kufa and Fustat. Kufa was founded by Sa'd b. Abi Waqqas by order of Omar. The importance of the city increased with caliph Ali's moving the caliphate here. During the ninety year rule of the Umayyads, governors generally ruled Kufa under extraordinary conditions. It was the capital city for twenty years during the Abbasid period. With the establishment of Baghdad during the reign of the caliph Mansur, the center of the caliphate was moved here and Kufa began to lose its importance. Kûfa was a cosmopolitan city where many ethnic elements lived together. The majority of the population consisted of Southern Arabs of Yemen origin who participated in the conquest of Iraq and settled there later. Northern Arabs were the only dominant element in the administration. The pre-Islamic enmity between the Northern and Southern Arabs manifested itself here as well, and events that started in Kufa and affected the whole state took place. Apart from the North-South Arab conflict in Kufa, there was also the problem of Mawali. The Umayyad treated this group of Muslims as second class citizens because they were not Arabs. This group, who could not have equal rights with them even though they were Muslims, brought the end of the Umayyads. Because this section had prepared the ground for the establishment of the Abbasid state. The events that took place between these different ethnic elements living in Kufa had a negative impact on the state. While these events, which started in Kûfa and affected to the whole state, have been the subject of many studies, no independent study has been conducted to examine the causes of these events. The work that we are going to review is a study that examines the causes of these conflicts in Kûfa, in which extremely important determinations are made.
