The rapid expansion of the early Islamic world is conventionally ascribed to a combination of brilliant military leadership and religious fervor. In this book, Abd-Al-Aziz Duri demonstrates how the growth, development, and durability of early Islamic governance derived from highly sophisticated systems of administration (in which the idea of a Muslim ummah was the central feature) as well as efficient mechanisms for taxation and tax collection. The fact that in a highly dynamic period of Islamic history a seamless system of administration could endure for several centuries, from the early Muslim conquests and the later Umayyad era to the end of Abbasid rule, is testimony to the political and organizational skills of these early Muslim leaders. Duri's work makes a major contribution to our understanding of how Islam established itself and flourished as a lasting major force in the development of world history.

Abdulaziz Duri is Professor of History at the University of Jordan. He was previously President of Baghdad University between 1963 and 1968. He is the author of The Historical Formation of the Arab Nation: A Study in Identity and Consciousness (1987), and a range of other books on Islamic History and Arab Nationalism.
