Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Ampleforth Journal, Vol. 21 El Mahdi ascended the throne under very different circumstances from his father and predecessor; - the central administration could now be carried on from Baghdad without let or hindrance, the person of the Commander of the Faithful was more secure, the religious dangers of Persian heresy and Arabian puritanism had been reduced, the independence of the district Emirs had been curtailed, and the whole Empire had settled down into a more fixed condition. The proof that Mansur had done much to strengthen and solidify the Empire lies in the fact that neither a revolution headed by a popular general in Khorasan, nor a widespread schism initiated by the impostor Mokanna, who proclaimed himself as a Deity, sufficed to endanger the security of the Khalif. Both the rebellious general and the false prophet achieved some success, but they were unable to withstand the wealth and power of the united empire; the civil revolution was crushed, and the religious outbreak was stifled without unduly straining either the resources or discipline of the Empire as a whole. El Mahdi, whose nature was milder than that of Mansur, released many of the suspects and prisoners whom his father had kept in confinement, devoted his personal wealth to the improvement of the accommodation along the pilgrims´ roads to Mecca and Medina, and maintained the peace of the Empire by engaging the minds of the Moslems in an annual foray into the lands of the Christian Emperors of Constantinople.
