Islamic History

From the first revelation to the present day

Islamic history runs from a cave outside Makkah to the walls of Constantinople and everything after it. It is also contested ground. Plenty of what circulates about it has been rewritten by people with a reason to get it wrong, so learning it properly is the only real defence you have.
