Book Description
No historian can deny the fact that Islam has bestowed upon mankind lots of virtues. Before Islam, man would be afraid of every strange, unique or powerful thing, and would bow down before that, but Islam dispelled all such notions. It taught and convinced man that he is the best of all creatures', so he need to be submissive to anyone except his Creator. It was this concept that created in man's mind self confidence and self-respect. Man remained no longer afraid of nature but determined to conquer the forces of nature. Islam changed not only the religious and spiritual attitude of man but in fact, it changed the whole pattern of human life. It brought basic changes in human thought, philosophy, culture and civilization. It showed the social and economic justice. It made no difference between man and man, black and white, have and have-notes. It declared that all men are equal and there should be no injustice to anyone but justice to all. Here we have no space enough to describe all the virtues. Islam bestowed on mankind, but in short it can be claimed that no other religion faith of ideology could grant human beings as many virtues as Islam did. This is not merely a hollow claim but history bears witness to it. History speaks well and offers a vivid picture of what Islam gave to the world during its fourteen hundred years. It also shows how Islam treated the world and how the world treated it. So those, who are interested in human history, and who want to know facts about man's journey from Adam (as) to this day, must study unbiased Islamic history. This book is an effort in that direction. Although concise but it describes at least all the main events of Islamic history, just from its advent upto date. This book is the first volume of the work that is extended to three volumes. This volume starts from the advent of Islam and ends with the Pious Caliphs Table of Contents Chapter 1 - The World at the advent of Islam Chapter 2 - Muhammad - The Last Prophet [Meccan Life] Chapter 3 - Muhammad - The Last Prophet [Madinite Life] Chapter 4 - The perpetual teachings Pillars of Islam The ideal Islamic state of madina Chapter 5 -Abu bakr Siddiq (Ra), The first Caliph Chapter 6 - Umar Ibn al Khattab (Ra), The second CaliphÉ Chapter 7 - Hazrat Usman Bin Affan (Ra), The third Caliph Chapter 8 - Hazrat Ali Bin Abi Talib (Ra), The Fourth Caliph Chapter 9 - Hazrat Hasan bin Ali (Ra) Chapter 10 - The significance of the Pious Caliphate

Book Description
A panoramic history of the Muslim world from the age of the Prophet Muḥammad to the birth of the modern era This book describes and explains the major events, personalities, conflicts, and convergences that have shaped the history of the Muslim world. The body of the book takes readers from the origins of Islam to the eve of the nineteenth century, and an epilogue continues the story to the present day. Michael Cook thus provides a broad history of a civilization remarkable for both its unity and diversity. After setting the scene in the Middle East of late antiquity, the book depicts the rise of Islam as one of the great black swan events of history. It continues with the spectacular rise of the Caliphate, an empire that by the time it broke up had nurtured the formation of a new civilization. It then goes on to cover the diverse histories of all the major regions of the Muslim world, providing a wide-ranging account of the key military, political, and cultural developments that accompanied the eastward and westward spread of Islam from the Middle East to the shores of the Atlantic and the Pacific. At the same time, A History of the Muslim World contains numerous primary-source quotations that expose the reader to a variety of acutely insightful voices from the Muslim past.

Engaging the Muslim World
Author: Juan ColePublisher: St. Martin's Press
ISBN: 0230620574
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 292
Book Description
With clarity and concision, Juan Cole disentangles the key foreign policy issues that America is grappling with today--from our dependence on Middle East petroleum to the promotion of Islamophobia by the American right--and delivers his informed advice on the best way forward. Cole's unique ability to take the true Muslim perspective into account when looking at East-West relations make his insights well-rounded and prescient as he suggests a course of action on fundamental issues like religion, oil, war and peace. With substantive recommendations for the next administration on how to move forward in key countries such as Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Iran, Engaging the Muslim World reveals how we can repair the damage of the disastrous foreign policy of the last eight years and forge ahead on a path of peace and prosperity. Cole argues: * Al-Qaeda is not a mass movement like fascism or communism but rather a small political cult like the American far right circles that produced Timothy McVeigh. * The Muslim world is not a new Soviet Bloc but rather is full of close allies or potential allies. * There can be no such thing as American energy independence, we will need Islamic oil to survive as a superpower into the next century. * Iran is not an implacable enemy of the U.S.--it can and should be fruitfully engaged, which is a necessary step for American energy security since Tehran can play the spoiler in the strategic Persian Gulf. * America's best hope in Iraq is careful, deliberate military disengagement, rather than either through immediate withdrawal or a century-long military presence--in other words, both the Democrat and Republican presidential candidates are wrong.
