VIEW: Viking-Age Islamic Economic World (600-1200 AD)

Salaam

It is my pleasure to debut a research project by Jalal Al-Din Abd Al-Rahman and
Dr. Michelli (curator of the trust, located in Germany), researching the ancient
artifacts from foundries of Ireland to Iran to China, from Vikings to Khorasan's
Sufi artisans:

of the artifacts INSHALLAH soon)

The project takes its context from the extensive trading that linked the
cultures between northern Europe and China via archaeological trading routes,
passing through the Islamic world on the way. It starts from an examination of a
large body of archaeological material to establish its technological processes,
design methods and concepts, referring to primary textual sources where
available. By this means it will follow these aspects as they pass from one
culture to another and come together to have a formative impact on the then
emerging Islamic arts. It is an exciting and important project that will bring
together and establish new standards for a wide range of specialist fields and
will change the way we look at historic art and the way we understand the
connections between all our cultures.

For those of you interested to inquire more about the objects and their history
and possible exhibitions please email Dr. Michelli directly:

This hadith has been purged from the books of the Arab. It has been found in the
books of Indian Sunni Muslims.

However for some oddest reason the false-salafis and wahhabis are fighting this
hadith tooth and nail???? Why?
