The Simplified Encyclopedia of Islamic History

Author's Name: Dr. Ahmed Mustafa Metwally

Between extensive historical studies and the desire to know Islamic history, the researcher and the ordinary reader alike find themselves between two millstones. So where can history, with its broad outlines and decisive events, be compiled into one book? It is in this encyclopedia before us. The Islamic Research and Studies Team has brought this valuable work to light, covering Islamic history from the birth of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to our days in the twenty-first century, tracing it wherever the country may be, far and near, east and west, among all peoples, nations, and countries. For it is the biography of the Prophet, the Rightly Guided Caliphs, the Umayyad, Abbasid, Fatimid, Ayyubid, Mamluk, Andalusian, and Ottoman dynasties. Their news is gathered in this simplified encyclopedia, as are the Muslim minorities in the various continents of the world, in Africa, Asia, and Europe. It is an inexhaustible source of information and benefits, and the need for it never ends.
