The Calcutta Review An Illustrated Monthly (Third Series) August 1926

1926

Now conversion of the heathen was to the interest of the head of the State—unlike what it had been in the Arab Empire. [...] And the ruler found support in quite a new class of men (who were not available in the beginning of the Arab period)—namely in the theologians the jurists the dogmatists in short in the learned in the scriptures—to avoid the misleading term clergy.

[...] The victory of the IChilafat of the Abbasids over the kingship of the Omayyads was not merely a victory of the religious idea of Mohamed over the temporal tendencies of the Mekkan aristocracy but it was at the same time the victory of the Persian and Christian State-Church.
