Al Baladhuri's account of the Muslim conquest of Arabia by Professor Hugh Kennedy

The 2022 Beatrice de Cardi Lecture, held on 17 October 2022. This lecture will discuss the way in which Prophet Muhammad and his immediate successor Abu Bakr established Muslim control over the Arabian peninsula. For some years I have been working on a new English translation of al-Baladhuri's classic account of the Muslim conquests of the Near East (written c. 865) and I shall use this account to show not only the process of conquest but the way in which a historian from the Abbasid period, two centuries later, presents and describes it. Hugh Kennedy is Professor of Arabic at SOAS, University of London and the author of numerous books and articles about the first four centuries of Islam, including The Prophet and the Age of the Caliphates (4th ed. 2022) and The Caliphate: the history of an idea (2016), and History of the Arab Invasions: The Conquest and Administration of Empire: A New Translation of al-Baladhuri's Futuh al-Buldan (2022).
