Description of  Islamic History: A Very Short Introduction [Audiobook]

Narrated by Neil Shah Does history matter? This book argues not that history matters, but that Islamic history does. This very short introduction introduces the story of Islamic history the controversies surrounding its study and the significance that it holds - for Muslims and for non-Muslims alike. Opening with a lucid overview of the rise and spread of Islam, from the seventh to 21st century, the book charts the evolution of what was originally a small, localized community of believers into an international religion with over a billion adherents. Chapters are also dedicated to the peoples - Arabs, Persians, and Turks - who shaped Islamic history, and to three representative institutions - the mosque, jihad, and the caliphate - that highlight Islam's diversity over time.English | 2018 |MP3 | M4B | ASIN: B07H4SB6NQ | Duration: 4:31 h | 62 MB Adam J.
