註釋In the middle of the 18th century, a religious reform movement arose in al-Dir'iyyah, a small town in Najd, central Arabia. Founded by Shaykh Muhammad Ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab, and politically and militarily supported by Muhammad Ibn Sa'ud, the chief of al-Dir'iyyah, this movement, known as the Salafiyya, called for a return to the original teachings of the Qur'an and the traditions of the Prophet Muhammad. This book examines the Najd during the three centuries preceding the rise of the Salafis. It is a fascinating historical narrative that reveals phenomenal developments in the spheres of nomadic migration, settlement, the growth of the sedentary population, and the growth of religious learning, all combined to produce a new society that had new prospects by the middle of the 18th century.
