SUMMARY:Not in God’s Path

DESCRIPTION:One of the paradigmatic chronological demarcations in Midd
 le and Near Eastern studies has been the notorious notion of a “pre-
 Islamic” vs. an “Islamic” divide in this history. For some in th
 e field\, the cue has come from the Arab conquests of the region in th
 e seventh century\, a series of conquests which have been\, regularly 
 and fallaciously\, also identified as “Islamic Conquests.”  For ot
 hers\, and even more problematically\, the watershed has been based on
  the date of the Hijra\, or Prophet Muhammad’s Immigration from Mecc
 a to Medina in 622 CE –  a single event in Islamic narratives of ori
 gin.
