Presents a history of the ceremony of the oath of allegiance to the caliph from the time of the Prophet Muhammad until the fragmentation of the caliphate in the late ninth and tenth centuries. This book discusses about 'royal' ritual in early Islam which situates developments in the Islamic world in a late antique and early medieval context.
