- W2500644015 abstract "In simple terms, the Barīd was a messenger service whose agents delivered messages between a caliph and his provinces. As a general rule, messages from the caliph contained official orders and decrees, while messages from the provinces would consist of reports on the local state of affairs. Thus, messages and messengers were central if not inherent to the functioning of the Barīd. Equally important is the fact that messages and messengers are central to Islamic discourse. The Arabic root r. s. l. (‘to send’) is the pivot around which Allāh's communication with man rotates. Scripture, in both its superseded and final forms, was invariably transmitted to humans through the medium of thousands of messengers (rusul, sing. rasūl) culminating in the mission (risāla) of Muḥammad, God's Messenger (rasūl allāh). It is therefore of considerable interest to this study that, in spite of the suitability of the Arabic root r.s.l., the name of the messenger system employed by the caliphs was coined from a non-Arab word and that most technical terms used in the Barīd were also of foreign origin." @default.
