The Role of Oman in the Movement of Islam in the First Hijri Century
Dawr ʻUmān fī Ḥarakat al-Islām fī al-Qarn al-Awwal al-Hijrī
دور عمان في حركة الإسلام في القرن الأول الهجري
Abstract
It is said that the Azd named Oman after a valley of theirs at Maʾrib called ʿUmānā, and named it so accordingly; the Persians called it Mazūn, and of that it was said that Khusraw named Oman Mazūn — a land of cultivation, palms, pasture and sweet water. It is also said that it was named after ʿUmān ibn Ibrāhīm the Friend of God, or after ʿUmān ibn Sabaʾ ibn Yaghthān ibn Ibrāhīm, because he built the town of ʿUmmān. As to position and ancient history, Oman lies at the entrance of the Arabian Gulf, east of the Arabian Peninsula, surrounded on three sides by coasts extending seventeen hundred kilometres, from the borders of Ras al-Khaimah on the Arabian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman by way of the Strait of Hormuz and the Arabian Sea as far as the borders of Yemen; and within it, as the British historian Kelly says, are some two hundred principal tribes and countless secondary ones. Against this setting the study examines Oman's role in the movement of Islam in the first Hijri century.
