Corrections from Omar: Ibn Tumart travels east, not west in 1100-1 (Baghdad is obviously east of North Africa); I refer to Isma'il Muhaddis Dehlavi but intend 'Abd al-Haqq Muhaddis Dehlavi; Friedmann's doctoral thesis on Sirhindi was submitted to McGill in 1966 and is available online (archive.org/details/shaykhahmadsirhindi/page/n3/mode/2up); the film I refer to is in fact the 1966 epic "Khartoum," starring Laurence Olivier as the Mahdi...definitely not his finest role! 😂
Fascinating. What works would you recommend for a deeper look into the Berghawata? Also, before the Maghreb/Andalus was Ashari, what was it? Finally, regarding the point on Hanbalis in Baghdad, how did this affect the late Abbasids, did they still use Hanafi fiqh?
