On Apr. 06, 2021 from 1-3 p.m. CEST, the first lecture of the Second Lecture Series on the History and Culture will take place. In this lecture, Dr. Uktambek Sultonov of the Beruni Institute of Oriental Studies of the Academy of Sciences in Tashkent will deal with
"Three Versions of Ṣiddīqī Family Legitimation in Mawaraunnahr and Beyond."
Abstract (shortened):
The report I would like to bring to your attention is about the Islamic genealogy and the history of the Sacred families. Today, the problems of Islamic genealogy or Sayyido-Sharifology are studied on the basis of the works of Islamic genealogists and genealogies (nasab-nāma). In particular, K. Morimoto, A. Muminov, T. Bernheimer, R. Kilich and others studied the ‘Alawī sayyids and partly of the House of Quraysh. My long-standing research is on the history of the descendants of Abū Bakr Ṣiddīq in Central Asia and Mughal India. Unfortunately, completion is somewhat delayed due to a lack of evidence to support some of my conclusions on the subject. One such problem has to do with Ṣiddīqī family legitimacy.

The lectures will take place from 1-3 p.m. CEST / 4-6 p.m. Tashkent time. To register, please send an e-mail to Natalie Kontny (natalie.kontny@uni-hamburg.de).
