Muslim history is usually told through a handful of famous names; this collection widens the frame to one hundred and one figures drawn from across its centuries.
Abu Tariq Hijazi, a writer and researcher on Islamic history, presents short biographical accounts of scholars, rulers, scientists, travellers and reformers whose work shaped the Muslim world. Each entry is brief enough to finish in one sitting, which makes the book workable as a quick reference for students, as supplementary material for classrooms and madrasas, and as family reading. The treatment stays factual and respectful throughout.
Before it reaches your shelf:
• One hundred and one short biographies arranged for quick reference
• Covers scholarship, governance, science and exploration across Muslim history
• Entries sized for young readers and for adults new to the subject
• Written by a researcher who has published widely on Islamic history
Suitable for students, teachers and families building an Islamic history shelf, available at Boipoka.
