Arif Aliyev - Quraysh: historical and genealogical reference. Gift book bound in leather

The handbook is the first study in Russian Oriental studies devoted to the study of the genealogy of the Quraysh tribe native to the Prophet Muhammad. It contains genealogical tables representing all the main branches of the family tree of the Quraysh from the period of the origin of the tribe to the stage of its gradual disintegration after the emergence of a new type of association of Arabs — the Muslim community. In the future, special attention is paid to the family of the Prophet Muhammad, his direct descendants and the first "righteous" caliphs. The genealogies of the Quraysh of later times are considered against the background of the formation and development of the first Muslim states: the Umayyad Caliphate with its capital in Damascus (661-750) and the Abbasid (Baghdad) caliphate (750-1258).

For professional orientalists and Islamic scholars, teachers and students of universities, as well as a wide range of readers interested in the history of the origin and development of the Arab-Muslim civilization.

2nd edition, revised and expanded.
