Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Digest of Moohummudan Law, Vol. 2: On the Subjects to Which It Is Usually Applied by British Courts of Justice in India; Compiled and Translated From Authorities in the Original Arabic The Mussulmans of India are generally Soonnees of the Hanifite sect. But practices peculiar to the Sheeahs have long prevailed to a great extent in certain localities, and many avowed professors of the doctrines of that sect are to be found in places that were subject to Sheeah governors in Mussulman times. The numbers of these votaries would naturally increase when the governments became hereditary in Sheeah families, and would be multiplied more and more as the local governors became practically independent of the Supreme Head at Delhi. At length, when the allegiance became little more than nominal, it is not surprising if, in some places, the sect of the actual ruler should come to preponderate over that of the distant and merely nominal head; according to the Arabian adage, which says that "all people follow the religion of their kings." The saying was exemplified to the fullest extent in Persia, where the whole of the people have become Sheeahs since the accession of the Soofee dynasty in A.D. 1499. The process of assimilation was less rapid in India, where, though several of the Nuwabs, or local governors, were Sheeahs, they acknowledged at least a nominal dependence on Delhi, and never ventured to make any ostensible change in the law of their provinces.
