The Early Muslim Conquest of Syria: An English Translation of Al-Azdī's Futūḥ Al-Shām This book provides a detailed account of the early Muslim conquests in Syria and Iraq, as recorded by Muḥammad al-Azdī in his work Futūḥ al-Shām (The Conquests of Syria). The translation covers the major historical events of the 7th century C.E., including battles against the Byzantines, city conquests, and diplomatic initiatives. A scientific introduction to al-Azdī's work is also included, providing context on the author's life, the textual tradition of the work, and a summary of its train of thought. This translation will be of interest to scholars and historians studying the early Muslim expansion, as well as those interested in Byzantine and Islamic history. The narrative offers a unique insight into the historical events of this period, combining history and Islamic theological content.
