This course will help you understand the story of a unique Muslim land, how its story fits into the history of the Ummah, and how its legacy continues to influence us today. The reality is that few history courses in our education system in the West will teach the history of Muslim-majority lands from a Muslim perspective. This course aims to provide a more balanced, accurate, and holistic understanding, guided by our own traditional understanding of the reality of human history in this world.

Our intention is for this course to help youth, and adults, to better understand where we come from. In turn, this will help us begin to imagine where we might go as a civilization in the future, insha'Allah. This is all part of the larger goal of helping us reconnect with the immense riches and beneficial aspects of our Muslim legacy.
