This edited volume analyses the concepts of territory as conceived of and developed in Islamic history. In legal terms the world is divided into two parts, the dar al-Islam governed by the Islamic shari'a and the dar al-harb which is beyond the border of dar al-Islam. The work explores the central question of what the concepts of territory and border were like for those Muslims who were driven by their will to expand the dar al-Islam, those who experienced vicissitudes in the course of history, or who were inspired with mystical feelings.
