## The first annotated translation of the 9th-century Islamic apocalyptic work __The Book of Tribulations__
__The Book of Tribulations__ is the earliest complete Muslim apocalyptic text to survive, and as such has considerable value as a primary text. It is unique in its importance for Islamic history: focusing upon the central Syrian city of Hims, it gives us a picture of the personalities of the city, the tribal conflicts within, the tensions between the proto-Muslim community and the majority Christian population, and above all details about the wars with the Byzantines. Additionally, Nu`aym gives us a range of both the Umayyad and the Abbasid official propaganda, which was couched in apocalyptic and messianic terms.
## Key Features
* Includes materials for Islamic military history: internal Muslim wars, the wars against the Byzantines, and the projected warfare of the Mahdi
* Presents fascinating social history, detailing earthquakes, plagues and appearances of comets
* Alludes to the technological advances of the time: the use of water-wheels, the construction of ships and various methods of transportation
* Gives a unique perspective on Syrian Muslim history with an extraordinary level of detail and richness of local perspective
