The Rise of Islam

This book traces the historical rise of Islam, from its origins in seventh-century Arabia through its rapid early spread across the region and beyond.

Suitable for readers new to Islamic history or seeking a concise overview, it offers a readable entry point into understanding how Islam grew from its earliest beginnings into a major world civilisation.
