After Mohammed died, Abu Bakr was made caliph, or successor to the Prophet, by an assembly of the faithful.

Last Page - Yemen Times Abu Al-Fida in his Taqweem Al-Buldan (chronicle of the countries), dated the wall back to the time before the establishment of Bani Zorai' dynasty. While the wall, Abu Al-Fida explained, blocked Aden's only passage - in between the mountains - to the seafront. During the reign of Abu Othman Omar Al-Zanjabily of the Ayyubid (1176) dynasty, Aden became a very important trade center. www.yementimes.com /98/iss38/lastpage.htm

Saudi Aramco World : The King of Ghassan Abu al-Fida, for example, lists 31 kings of Ghassan, whereas the scrupulously critical 10th-century historian al-Mas'udi, writing almost four centuries earlier, knows of only 11. In many respects, in fact, it is easier than that faced by al-Mas'udi and Abu al-Fida. Written sources contemporary with the Ghassanids—in some cases even contemporary with the reign of al-Harith ibn Jabala—have survived in Greek and Syriac manuscripts, in Epigraphic South Arabian and in documents in Ethiopic, Coptic, Armenian, and Georgian. www.saudiaramcoworld.com /issue/198302/the.king.of.ghassan.htm

MuslimHeritage.com - Features The geography treatise of Abu al-Fida (1273-1331), entitled Taqwim al-Buldan, has been known quite early and had a huge reputation in the Latin West, which is expressed by the so many translations of it, either partial or complete. Abu Zayd (d.976) also deals with the Khmer land (p.86 onwards) and its vast population, a land in which indecency, he notes, is absent. Abu Zeid makes the point that he does not reproduce distorted accounts and stories by sailors; and that it is better to relate truth however much shorter. www.muslimheritage.com /features/default.cfm?Page=2&ArticleID=216

Balanjar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The legendary founder of Balanjar, according to the Arab chroniclers Ibn al-Faqih and Abu al-Fida, was named Balanjar ibn Japheth. Until the early 720s, Balanjar served as the capital of Khazaria. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Balanjar

03 As for the solemnity of Ima`m Abu` Mohammed (al-Rida`); faces were humbled in fear of it, for it was similar to that of the prophets and the testamentary trustees (of authority) whom Allah clothed in His light. Before we speak about the birth of the pure Ima`m Abu` Mohammed, peace be on him, and the affairs accompanied it, we will mention his brilliant, exalted lineage, which is related to Allah's Messenger, may Allah bless him and his family, who is the source of flow, bestowal, good, and mercy to mankind. However, all the time Abu` al-Hasan was saying: 'I have no need of those.' Then he told him: 'Show us something else.' 'I have nothing except a sick slave-girl, ' he replied. www.rafed.net /books/other-lang/imam-ridha/03.html

HAMA Another mosque is that of Abu al-Fida, named after Hama's Sultan, who was a famous Arab geographer and historian. One of Hama's ancient buildings is al-Jami' al- Kabir (the Great Mosque), which dates back to the 14th century and includes two tombs of two emirs who ruled Hama in the 13th century. However, Hama is well known for its enormous waterwheels ('noriahs') on the Orontes, which are as old as Hama itself. www.middleeast.com /hama.htm

Al-Ghadir: Reliability Ibn Kathir (Introduction) is Isma`il ibn `Umar ibn Kathir ibn Daww ibn Dara`, Abu al-Fida' `Imad al-Din, born in 701/1302 in a village outside of Damascus, where he moved with his brother at the age of five. He later travelled in pursuit of Sacred Knowledge, becoming a principle Shafi`i scholar, hadith master (hafiz), and historian who authored works in each of these fields, though he is perhaps best known for his four-volume Tafsir al-Qur'an al-`Azim [Commentary on the Mighty Koran], which reflects its author's magisterial command of the sciences of hadith. www.al-islam.org /ghadir/reliability.asp?person=289&md=0

Hamah City Here lies Abu al Fida'a (or Abi Fidaa), King of Hama from 1310 to 1332, who was famous above all as an historian and geographer. The highest waterwheel, which dates from the 14 century, is known as the Al Mouhammadiya; it supplies water to the Great Mosque a hundred and fifty meters away, marked by an elegant octagonal minaret with a double lantern and wooden balcony. The minbar (pulpit) inside in the prayer hall is another fine example of the taste and skill of the craftsmen of Hama; it is made from rare woods finely carved in geometric patterns. www.geocities.com /paris/library/2061/hamah.htm

Saudi Aramco World : Digging Out Aqaba’s Islamic Past By the 14th century, the chronicle of Abu al-Fida noted that Islamic Ayla was largely a forgotten ruin, increasingly covered by sand. In this Ayyubid period, the town began to be called Aqabat Ayla, or "Ayla Pass," a name that referred to the mountainous passes that connected the city with points inland. By the 16th century, the town name had been shortened to Al-'Aqaba, the name it retains today in Arabic, and the old city had disappeared. saudiaramcoworld.com /issue/200002/digging.out.aqaba.s.islamic.past.htm

Discussion: 28. Betomarsea also Maiumas- ('Ain Sara ?) Where is this symposium or bath to be located?In the geographical book of Abu al-Fida (1321 AD), the Taqwim al-Buldan, the author notes, "Below Karak is a valley with a bath (hammam) and gardens planted with excellent fruits of apricots, pomegranates, pears and others". This is no doubt a reference to Wadi al-Karak, where the spring of 'Ain Sarah irrigates the gardens. www.christusrex.org /www1/ofm/mad/discussion/028discuss.html

The Oud Two authors of the end of the 14th century (Abu al-Fida, or Abulfedae, and Abu al-Walid ibn Shihnah) place it in the reign of the Sassanid King Shapur I (241-72). Ibn Shihnah added that the development of the 'ud was linked to the spread of Manicheism, and its invention to Manes himself, a plausible theory because the disciples of Manes encouraged musical accompaniments to their religious offices. www.oud.eclipse.co.uk /history.html
