520 1 |a "Muàwiya ibn Abi Sufyan (c. 602-680) was the fifth and most elusive of the early caliphs. Notoriously guarded about his thoughts, motives, and emotions, Muàwiya was univerally known as a figure of immense political acumen. Beyond this, opinions are very deeply divided. Throughout history, some have accused him of betraying Muhammad's model of ideal Muslim leadership whilst others credit him with reuniting an empire in disarray and transforming the Caliphate into a practicable form of government." "In light of these debates, Humphreys critically analyses the sources available, getting as close as possible to a historical account of the founder of the Umayyad dynasty. Combining examination of both his public image and personal qualities, this introduction includes coverage of Muàwiya's repartee with his governors, his fondness for earthly temptations, and his exceptional skills as ruler of a vast empire. Using an extensive range of sources, and containing an analysis of early Islamic society, it will prove of great interest to general readers and experts alike."--Jacket.
