“…19 Leo Africanus reported on the 'mad, prankish and vulgar acts' that took place 20 while sheikhs battled against hashish consumption. 21 During the French occupation (1798-1801), this neighbourhood on the outskirts of the city 'became the main square of the city', at least for the French, because Bonaparte had moved into a neighbouring palace. 22 The Armée d'Orient built a theatre there in 1799 and after it was destroyed in the Egyptian revolt of 1800, they rebuilt a Théâtre de la République.…”

In this article, the origins of the modern metropolis are reconsidered, using the example of Cairo within its Ottoman and global context. I argue that Cairo's Azbakiyya Garden served as a central ground for fashioning a dynastic capital throughout the nineteenth century. This argument sheds new light on the politics of Khedive Ismail, who introduced a new state representation through urban planning and music theatre. The social history of music in Azbakiyya proves that, instead of functioning as an example of colonial division, Cairo encompassed competing conceptions of class, taste and power.

“…Manẓūr (d. 1277) [ahli Sufi, lihat al-Yūnīnī 1954], who, together with his disciples, lived in a zāwiya [rumah tumpangan Sufi] in al-Maqs [terletak berdekatan Terusan Nasiri, Kaherah], performed a mawlid every year in the presence of a large crowd. (Shoshan 1993) Teks Shoshan (1993) di atas menunjukkan bahawa perayaan Maulid pernah disambut oleh orang Islam, khususnya penduduk yang tinggal di bandar al-Maqs. Perayaan itu disambut setiap tahun sehingga Ibn Manẓūr meninggal dunia pada tahun 1277.…”

“…First on the list should be the mawlid at Ṭanṭā, in the Gharbiyya province, to commemorate Aḥmad al-Badawī (1200-76), the most popular Egyptian saint up to our own time. (Shoshan 1993) Berdasarkan kedua-dua teks Shoshan (1993) itu terdapat dua aspek yang boleh dikemukakan. Pertama, orang Islam pada zaman kesultanan Mamluk (1250-1510), termasuk ketika zaman Ibnu Taymiyyah yang meliputi negeri Syria, Mesir, Palestin dan Hijaz (Mohd Farid 2011), telah mengadakan dua jenis sambutan Maulid, iaitu Maulid Nabi Muhammad SAW dan Maulid pemimpin-pemimpin utama kumpulan Sufi.…”

“…Sebagai contoh, pada tahun 1308, 500 orang Islam di Kaherah yang terdiri daripada pengikut Sufi dan orang awam telah menyertai Ibn 'Aṭā' Allāh al-Iskandarī (m. 1309; ahli Sufi Kaherah) dan Karīm al-Dīn al-Amulī (m. 1310; ahli Sufi Kaherah) menganjurkan perarakan raksasa di bandar itu (Memon 1976). Menurut Shoshan (1993), matlamat utama perarakan itu ialah "to protest against Ibn Taymiyya, the leading theologian of the age, because of his polemics directed against the Shādhilite Sufis". Memon (1976) pula berpendapat bahawa protes itu dianjurkan setelah Ibnu Taymiyyah mengkritik doktrin Sufisme Ibn 'Arabī (m. 1240; ahli Sufi Andalusia).…”

Perayaan Maulid Menurut Ibnu Taymiyyah dalam Iqtiḍā'

Abstrak. Makalah ini membincangkan pandangan Ibnu Taymiyyah tentang Maulid dalamIqtiḍā', sebuah karya yang menjadi polemik berhubung penyertaan orang Islam dalam perayaan-perayaan orang bukan Islam. Daripada satu sudut, Ibnu Taymiyyah berpendapat bahawa perayaan Maulid ialah amalan bidaah. Sambutan perayaan itu tidak diharuskan kerana golongan Salaf tidak menyambut perayaan itu dan tidak terdapat sumber tekstual yang mengharuskan amalan tersebut. Daripada sudut yang lain pula, Ibnu Taymiyyah juga menyebut tentang beberapa motif kebaikan di sebalik sambutan perayaan Maulid, namun telah disalahfahami oleh Ukeles melalui penelitiannya terhadap orang Islam dan keperluan-keperluan rohaniah mereka. Ibnu Taymiyyah tetap berpendapat bahawa orang yang menyambut perayaan Maulid tidak diberikan ganjaran kerana ia merupakan amalan bidaah dan status asal sambutan Maulid tidak berubah walaupun dikatakan terdapat tujuan yang murni di sebaliknya.

Grain Prices in Cairo and Europe in the Middle Ages

This paper compares grain prices between Cairo and Europe during medieval times. Prices were higher and more volatile in Cairo than in Europe. Over time, price levels declined in large parts of Europe but not in Cairo.No price integration can be seen between the European Mediterranean region and Cairo. In north-western Europe, a cluster of urban centers showing similar price movements had emerged in the fourteenth century, at the latest. The Mediterranean area was not integrated into this network. Price integration in north-western Europe may have contributed to the economic advancement of this region in late medieval and early modern times.Climatic fluctuations (in temperature as well as in the water level of the Nile) affected Cairo grain prices. In Europe, on the other hand, shortterm temperature variation did not have an appreciable impact on prices. Western European price integration cannot, it seems, be explained by the existence of a common climatic factor. Early European economic development was facilitated by a robust environment.
