Historical Atlas of Islam

Description

Among the great civilizations of the world, Islam remains an enigma to Western readers. Now, in a beautifully illustrated historical atlas, noted scholar of religion Malise Ruthven recounts the fascinating and important history of the Islamic world.

From the birth of the prophet Muhammed to the independence of post-Soviet Muslim states in Central Asia, this accessible and informative atlas explains the historical evolution of Islamic societies. Short essays cover a wide variety of themes, including the central roles played by sharia (divine law) and fiqh (jurisprudence); philosophy; arts and architecture; the Muslim city; trade, commerce, and manufacturing; marriage and family life; tribal distributions; kinship and dynastic power; ritual and devotional practices; Sufism; modernist and reformist trends; the European domination of the Islamic world; the rise of the modern national state; oil exports and arms imports; and Muslim populations in non-Muslim countries, including the United States.

Lucid and inviting full-color maps chronicle the changing internal and external boundaries of the Islamic world, showing the principal trade routes through which goods, ideas, and customs spread. Ruthven traces the impact of various Islamic dynasties in art and architecture and shows the distribution of sects and religious minorities, the structure of Islamic cities, and the distribution of resources. Among the book's valuable contributions is the incorporation of the often neglected geographical and environmental factors, from the Fertile Crescent to the North African desert, that have helped shape Islamic history.

Rich in narrative and visual detail that illuminates the story of Islamic civilization, this timely atlas is an indispensable resource to anyone interested in world history and religion.

Thanks, buddy!

Thanks Smirk, I'll give this one a try. I find that the majority of reference to MO-Ham-Mud omit or outright revise the true history of his murdering, thieving and child molesting (Aysha Bibi... his "favorite" 6 year old 'wife'.

@nigrrrr
Thanks for your interest in prophet Mohammed (saws)life and his esteemed wife (pbuh). I'd like to know if you have a document or a proof such as a birth certificate mentioning the exact age or birthday of Omouna Aicha; Otherwise, please feel free to read "Sahih Bukhari" and "Sira Nabawiya" to get closer to truthful information. We all know that she was "asked" in marriage from her father Abubakr (pbuh) when she was 9 yo. Later, when she was older and got her menstruation, she "accepted" to marry herself to The Best of men. The more you insult Islam and his values, the more Muslims get tight to it. Chacun a sa religion et si tu n'aimes pas l'Islam, vas y voir du coté du bouddhisme ou scientologie.

THANK YOU SMIRK FOR ALL YOUR GOOD WORK;
Salam (peace) from Morocco.

nigrrrr,

Midoman is right, if you are after truth, go to the original source and do not rely on heresy and sick writings, which has no business other than maligning good persons in history. If you have a similar yardstick, would you like to apply it to Prophet David, who 'possessed' 99 'wives' and still cheated his subordinate to death to make his widows as his '100th' wife and he is said to 'ride' them all during one night. A sex maniac? Would you dare call him with these words. Please don't hurt others when you have similar cases. Want more from your own scriptures ???
