Course Overview
As Muslims, our Islamic history is a crucial part of our identity and the foundations of our heritage. Islamic education devoid of Islamic history is like a body without its skeleton. Studying Islamic history in-depth helps students understand the various ways Islam was applied to people and society, how Islam developed under diverse landscapes and how it transformed from generation to generation. It was through historical context that sciences grew, and the golden era appeared. This was received differently by different cultures and employed in many interesting ways. There are many lessons to be learnt from our history which inform us about how we should move forward in the postmodern era of plural societies and nation-states.
Students who have taken a prior course in Islamic history will be guided through this advanced course that will cover the in-depth progression of Islamic history with attention to the primary sources, problems and debates in Islamic as well as secular scholarship, and deeper theological meaning and message of Islamic history. The course will specifically focus on the Empires, Radical Movements, Nation-states and Intellectual Revival.
The course will cover the various political events in chronological order, namely the 16th century to the present period in the Middle East, South Asia and the West.
