Section Description
This is an introduction to the history of Islamic civilization, from its beginnings in early 7th century C.E. through the Mongol conquest of Baghdad in 1258. The principal geographical areas that we will cover are the Middle East and North Africa. In this course we will first consider the historical contexts that shaped the life of Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, and gave rise to the Qur'an, the scripture of Islam. Next, we will address the early Arab conquests, the rise of Islamic empires, as well as the theological, philosophical, and mystical movements in Islamic civilizations and cultures. The course will also deal with the interaction between Muslim and non-Muslim cultures, as well as the roles of religious minorities and women in shaping Islamic civilization during this period.
