In this book, Huseyin Yilmaz traces how a new conception of the caliphate emerged under the Ottomans, who redefined the caliph as at once a ruler, a spiritual guide, and a lawmaker corresponding to the prophet's three natures.Challenging conventional narratives that portray the Ottoman caliphate as a fading relic of medieval Islamic law, Yilmaz offers a novel interpretation of authority, sovereignty, and imperial ideology by examining how Ottoman political discourse led to the mystification of Muslim political ideals and redefined the caliphate. He illuminates how Ottoman Sufis reimagined the caliphate as a manifestation and extension of cosmic divine governance. The Ottoman Empire arose in Western Anatolia and the Balkans, where charismatic Sufi leaders were perceived to be God's deputies on earth. Yilmaz traces how Ottoman rulers, in alliance with an increasingly powerful Sufi establishment, continuously refashioned and legitimated their rule through mystical imageries of authority, and how the caliphate itself reemerged as a moral paradigm that shaped early modern Muslim empires.A masterful work of scholarship, Caliphate Redefined is the first comprehensive study of premodern Ottoman political thought to offer an extensive analysis of a wealth of previously unstudied texts in Arabic, Persian, and Ottoman Turkish."--Jacket flap. 650 0 $a Religion and politics $z Turkey $x History. 650 0 $a Sufism $z Turkey $x History. 650 0 $a Islam and politics $z Turkey $x History. 651 0 $a Turkey $x History $y Ottoman Empire, 1288-1918. 650 7 $a Islam and politics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00979879 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 $a Religion and politics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01093842 650 7 $a Sufism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01137257 651 7 $a Turkey. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01208963 648 7 $a To 1500 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191211020821.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=936330FA580511E8A8F83C5097128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
