This article outlines the findings of a pioneering bibliometric analysis of 764 high-value articles on early Islam from the Web of Science (WoS) database and unveils critical trends. This study, which notably highlights increased academic activities, particularly interdisciplinary expansion into archaeology and related fields, demonstrates a contemporary upsurge in scholarly engagement within humanities and social sciences. Global contributions from 60 countries, led by the USA, showcase an international landscape, and English emerges as the predominant language. (Der) Islam-Zeitschrift für Geschichte und Kultur des Islamischen Orients and Journal of Archaeological Science Reports stand out as the most prolific journals across all fields, followed by Journal of Archaeological Science. This highlights the growing significance of archaeology in the research on early Islam. The top authors with the most publications N. Schibille, I. Taxel, and G. Bar-oz and most cited authors I. C. Freestone, J. Henderson, and Y. Avni shape the field. Financial support from organizations like the European Research Council (ERC), the Spanish Government and the Israel Science Foundation signals strategic investments in Islamic studies. Lastly, a keyword analysis emphasizes prevalent themes, such as Islam, early Islam, early Islamic period, and Qur’ān, providing a concise snapshot of the field’s contemporary focus. These insights underscore the rising international importance of Islamic research. Recognizing the limitations of the present study, this bibliometric analysis offers a foundational framework for future research by inspiring further scholarly exploration of emerging trends and thematic gaps in the field.

The game centres around the Battle of Qādisiyya (15/636), a critical juncture during one of the significant milestones for Muslims in their struggle against the Sassanids, marking a pivotal moment in the early Islamic conquests. Commanders Qaʿqāʿ b. ʿAmr and his brother ʿĀṣim b. ʿAmr, who played crucial roles in the events leading up to the eradication of the Sassanids from the historical stage, are the primary figures in this game. Despite encountering some technical flaws and receiving unfavourable feedback from players, the game’s commendable effort to adhere to historical data and accurately present the conditions of that period deserves recognition. In this regard, the game becomes the focal point of this article concerning the instruction and education of Islamic history. Factors such as the prominence of learning materials through computer games, the vivid portrayal of historical events, and the encouragement of students to delve into more profound research, as exemplified by this game, suggest the effectiveness of such games as valuable tools in the education of Islamic history.

During this period, he contacted the Umayyad court and became the physician of Hajjāj ibn Yūsuf (d. 715 AD), the general governor of the Eastern regions of the caliphate. In addition to his knowledge on the Sassanid scientific tradition, Tayādhūq had a significant role in transferring this tradition to the Islamic world. His ideas were later followed by polymath physicians such as Rhazes (AbūBakr al-Rāzı̄, d. 925 AD), Avicenna (Ibn Sı̄nā, d. 1037 AD), and others who lived after him. His medical works were of great importance to the development of early Islamic medicine. Therefore, this study will attempt to illuminate this forgotten scholar's medical knowledge, the works he produced, and finally illustrate his influences on later Muslim physicians.

They accommodated the local social, administrative, and cultural heritage in order to take control over the region. Just like all civilizational “interactions,” certain practices remained similar to their earlier instantiations. One of these practices was the system of jund, which was applied following the conquest of Bilād al-Shām (Greater Syria). Jund (pl. ajnād), literally meaning “army—military districts,” described military-administrative districts established in Bilād al-Shām (a region covering Syria, Jordan, Palestine, Lebanon and southern Turkey) in early Islamic history.

Modern dönemde İslam tarih yazıcılığının doğuşunu kapsamlı bir bakış açısıyla sunan ilk çalışmalardan biri olan Dûrî’nin eseri bir tarafan oryantalist literatürde erken dönem kaynaklarının ve râvilerinin “güvenilirliğine” ve “sonradan üretilmiş” olma ihtimaline yönelik ileri sürülen iddialara karşı çıkmakta, diğer tarafan İslam tarih yazıcılığının teşekkül sürecini Medine’ye özgü İslami akım ve Irak’a özgü kabilevi akım şeklinde bölgesel bir teori üzerinden izah etmektedir. İslam tarihinin dinî, siyasi, iktisadi ve sosyo-kültürel yönlerine eğilerek bütüncül bir tarih bilincinin oluşmasına katkı sağlayan Dûrî’nin bazı önemli klasik tarih eserlerinin neşirlerini gerçekleştirmesi, kendisine kaynakların dili, metodolojisi ve problemleri gibi meselelerde yetkinlik kazandırmış ve bu güçlü mesleki formasyonu, elinizdeki kitabı daha da kıymetli hâle getirmiştir. Nitekim Dûrî’nin İslami akım (Medine Tarih Ekolü ) ve kabilevi akım (Irak Tarih Ekolü ) şeklinde ortaya koyduğu teorik çerçeve kendisinden sonra pek çok araştırmacı tarafından tartışılmış ve bu tartışmalar, İslam tarihçiliğinin ortaya çıkış sürecine dair kaleme alınan çalışmalara ciddi bir ivme kazandırmıştır. Bu yönüyle Dûrî’nin kitabının İslam tarih yazıcılığı üzerine akademik çalışma yapan araştırmacılar ve bu sahaya ilgi duyan okuyucular için vazgeçilmez bir başvuru eseri olacağı muhakkaktır.

Baladhur, which is a fruit that grows widely in India and used in Ayurvedic medicine, has been found not only in Indian medicine but also in Jewish, Syriac and Islamic medicine and it has been referred to as a treatment element in the medical books of these cultures. Among the medical benefits of baladhur, it is especially important to strengthen memory and improve the power of memorization. However, this fruit can become toxic when the dose is exceeded. It is noteworthy that baladhur has been used especially by the Muslim scholars (ulamā) since the early periods of Islamic history due to its strengthening of memory. In the sources of Islamic History, it is seen that many scholars, including famous names, suffered some physical and mental disorders after using baladhur, and even in overdose may lead to death.
In this paper, the views of Rhazes and Avicenna about baladhur, which are the two most important sources in the history of Islamic medicine and have gained a universal position with their works, will be examined. It is seen that both Rhazes and Avicenna have opened a separate title for baladhur in their works and they have included their own experiences as well as the information transferred from previous physicians. In addition, it is noteworthy that the two authors mentioned baladhur as one of the materials of the mixtures they prepared for the treatment of some diseases and used it as a special paste (asal al-baladhur/ma‘jūn al-baladhur). This study aims to present all the information that Rhazes and Avicenna gave about baladhur in general terms.

In the medical literature, its name is Semecarpus Anacardium Linn. It is in the group of poisonous plants. It is known in the history of medicine that the fruits of this tree are used to strengthen memory. The use of baladhur in the Islamic world to strengthen memory is probably based on the recognition of Indian geography with the first Islamic conquests. However, it should be said that this use has become more widespread with the translation of works of Indian medicine, especially in the period of Umayyads and Abbasids. Especially in the translation activities carried out during and after the Abbasid Caliph Ma’mūn, the fact that the records related to the plague appear more in the medical texts support this. In the sources of Islamic history, many scientists who use the baladhur in various ways to strengthen their memory have been pointed out. Undoubtedly, the most famous of these scientists, known to this cognomen is the historian Ahmad bin Yahyā al-Baladhurī. The main reason for taking this cognomen is that he lost his life by poisoning while using the baladhur substance excessively and unconsciously to strengthen his memory. In addition to Ahmad bin Yahyā, whose name we have mentioned, scientists such as Sībawayh, Abū Dāvūd al-Tayālisī, Abdurrahmān bin Mahdī, al-Bukhāri, Ibn al-Jawzī can be mentioned among them. It is understood that the use of this fruit continues for long centuries. The experience of using baladhur by some of the students who were educated in the Nizāmiyyah Madrasah was reflected in the records. Due to misuse, baladhur, which causes consequences such as loss of consciousness, delusion, sudden death, has continued to be the focus of attention for long centuries. This paper aims to identify the people who use baladhur to strengthen their memory and the problems they face because of these uses.
