The History of Islam, Vol. 1
History stands as the most effective and valuable way to put nations on the course of progress and prosperity and to save them from the path of disgrace and degradation.
At a time when there is tough competition among the nations of the world to compete with one another, Muslims, despite having the most glorious history, appear to be detached and careless as regards their history.
This book presents the true Islamic events and their actual causes for English readers. Other books in English on Islamic history were written by authors and compilers who did no justice in presenting the true picture of the Islamic Era; only their prejudice prevented them from doing so.
Publishers Note
We present to you the third volume of the book History of Islam. This book was originally written in the Urdu language in 1922 (1343 AH) by Akbar Shah Khan Najeebabadi. This was about 25 years before the partition of the Indian Subcontinent into Pakistan and India.
For the purpose of brevity, the compiler has presented the authentic events in concise form from the famous histories of Islam written in the Arabic and Persian languages by the great Muslim historians like Tabari, Ibn Athir, Mas'udi, Abul-Fida', Ibn Khaldun and Suyuti, in addition to having benefited from the authentic books of ahadith for the compilation of the part about the biography of the Prophet Muhammad.
Therefore, this compilation is actually extracts of the works of the famous Muslim historians.
In the first volume, starting with the introduction of history as a subject, the country, people, and conditions of Arabia prior to the advent of Islam are discussed, and an account of the life of Prophet Muhammad is presented, including the hardships and opposition he faced while propagating the message of Islam, and the details of the migration and the period after it until his death. After that, the description of the Rightly Guided Caliphate was also discussed in its full perspective.
