L’ibadisme dans les sociétés de l’Islam médiéval
Ein Kapitel aus dem Buch L’ibadisme dans les sociétés de l’Islam médiéval

Abstract

This paper is concerned with the study of the shurāt and ‘ulamā’ organizations from the conquest of Oman by the Abbasids and the fall of the second imamate in 280/893, to the birth of the Ya‘rūbid State in 1624. While the shurāt were volunteers from the Ibāḍī youth, the ‘ulamā’ were Ibāḍī scholars. Indeed, the concept of shurāt derives from the early Khārijite idea of sacrificing oneself to establish God’s rule. During the early Ibāḍī imamate, these two volunteering authorities (shurāt and ʻulamā’) emerged in Oman, and their influence proved to be wider than the imams’ own power. After the collapse of the imamate, they still played a key role as dynamic forces faced with other protagonists both inside and outside Oman. These institutions have deeply contributed to the dynamics of Omani Islamic history during approximately a millennium and to the forging of the national identity. In this paper, we will focus on the practical organization of shurāt and ‘ulamā’ without dwelling on its theoretical aspect. Through an examination of Omani internal historical sources, we will try to track the social and political influence of these institutions.
