This book, is one book who tell history of the world with Islamic History viewpoint. Written by Afghan Historian, Tamim Ansary, this book have one  plus value. And, this book also served with telling story style.Read this article until end for get more informations about Islamic History and Civilizations.  Ok, happy reading and dont forget, subscribe my blog for more informations about Islamic History and Civilization. 

This book, such as other Islamic History Book, started by Middle East before Islam and biography of Propeth Muhammad Shallahu Alaihi Wasallam.  And, this book next it with tell Islam at age of Rashidun Caliphate, Umayyad and Abbasid Caliphate, Mongols Invasion and Crusade, Ottoman Empire until 20 TH Century. And, this book used story telling style for deliver Islamic History s chronology, and it is make this book dont bored for people who dont like history. Specially for beginner.  Tamim Ansary, at this book, also quoted from credible refrences for strengthen this narrations. Such as Islamic History Books that written by Muslim and Western Historians. And, Tamim also make footnote not at below of pages,  but at one chapter at back that special for footnotes.For only period, Tamim tell Islamic History  s important  moment . Tamim dont tell all Islamic History moment, he only tell several important moment at Islamic History at his chapters at his book. 

Tamim, also touch Islamic History  small sides that maybe dont telled by other writter. Such as Sufism/Islamic Spiritual movement that appear at Abbasid Dynasty Era ( 8-13 TH Century) , and how Sufism moved with literature , such as appear of Jalal addin Rumi at 13 TH Century, who deliver his Sufism teaching with literature and founder from one Sufism Group at Anatolia ( now Turkey territories at Asia), Maulawi Group. For Jalal addin Rumi s biography, you can open this article:

Tamim, also discuss several minds from Islamic  reformer at 18-20 TH Century, such as Muhammad Ibn Abd Wahhab from Saudi Arabia , Jamal addin Afghany from Afghanistan , Sir Sayyid Ahmad Khan from India, and Hassan al-Banna from Egypt. It is enrich discussion at this book. And, it is also add our knowledge about modern Islamic Scholar s minds. 

But, this book also have minus value.  Because want deliver Islamic History s moments with concise, Ansary often  skip Islamic History s important moments. Such as when  discuss Umayyad Dynasty Era, Ansary skip Islamic Conquests at Umayyad age, when discuss Crusade, Ansary skip many moments. Such as Second Crusade 1147 AD, Battle Of Hatthin 1187 AD when Saladin crushed Crusaders and  re conquest Jerusalem from Crusaders, and many moments at Crusade. It is make Ansary s discussion looked “jumping”and dont tidy. Because it, this book maybe dont match for main refrences, but can became “opening door” for started studied Islamic History.
