Description
Lost Islamic History Reclaiming Muslim Civilisation from the Past by Firas Alkhateeb
This book rescues from oblivion and neglect the personalities and institutions of the past, offering a new narrative of lost Islamic history. The story spans over 1400 years, from the origins in Arabia to the later European colonization of Muslim lands, and features the Umayyads, Abbasids, and Ottomans, as well as Muslim Spain, the savannah kingdoms of West Africa, and the Mughal Empire.
Through the history of Islam, diverse peoples, geographies, and states are brought together in a single narrative that begins with Muhammad and continues to this day. The impact of Islamic belief on scientific advancement, social structures, and cultural development is also given prominence, with portraits of key personalities, inventions, and little-known historical nuggets.
