Review: Fun and informative - I love this book. It's an engaging and thought-provoking overview of Islamic history. As a young Muslim-American, I needed this information to dive deeper into Islamic history than my high school world history class did. In that class, we only touched upon a tiny amount of information about Islamic history. This book is great for those who wish to learn about Islamic history specifically with a great breadth of information. It covers so many different aspects of Islamic civilization, including important events, different groups' perspectives, and reasons for conflict and success.
Review: Concise but comprehensive - I don’t claim to have read all or even most of the books on history of Islam, but I have read a few. This is probably one of the best. It covers in a few hundred pages what other books have covered in thousands. It encompasses almost the entire history of Muslim world right from the time of the Prophet (peace upon him) through the very exciting initial period of khilafat rashida through the turbulent times of the khilfa, the transition form the khilafa to the hereditary kingdoms and later expansion of Islam in three continents. It is amazing how the author has captured this vast subject in such a small space. It is brief but concise. Nothing important has been left out. It is very coherent and you never feel hurried or rushed even though the author is sometimesgoing through centuries of history sometimes in a space of few dozen pages. That really shows author’s mastery of the subject as you have to posses great judgement in what to include and what to omit.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well done! Not cheaply superficial, but filled with tremendous historical detail.
*by A***R on April 6, 2019*

I am a history fan. More so, a fan of studying what shapes our various faiths and forms of worship; why we believe what we believe; ideologies prompted or inspired by our cultural queues, ancient political and economic forces, and sometimes, charismatic thinkers, teachers, and leaders. I have enjoyed studying the history of Christianity, Judaism, some Buddhism, Hinduism, and Daoism, but I had never found a good, thorough read on Islamic history. Now I have. I didn't just want to know what happened and when, but why. What wars, politics, culture, traditions, honor codes, parochialism, and business negotiations came into play to form an ideological movement that became, in this case, Islam. This book answers those questions. It is well organized and very well written. It is concise and clear. A perfectly enjoyable read! I will probably read it another two or three times. Proud to give this book 5 stars. Congrats and a huge thank you to the author!
