Add to basketHardcover. Condition: New. 375 p. : ill., maps ; 25 cm. in Arabic. This book is considered a verified historical account of the ribat of Makkah before and during the Ayubi times, and in the Mamluks period. Using a chronological order the author looks at the reasons underpinning the establishment of ribat and their relationship with waqf (trusts) in view of the fact that Islam calls for social solidarity and protection of the needs and rights of the impoverished. The book also considers the external factors that had an influence on the ribat in addition to the roles they played, be they educational or social. The book also includes studies on the political, economic and social landscape that played a part in the shaping of the ribat.
