Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,

As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.  (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)

One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

As-salaam-o-Alaikum My name is Ammar. i want to be know that what is the history of Islam... please send me

Answer:

History of Islam

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is no one (no idol, no person, no grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai, nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad(saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

Beloved brother, the ‘History of Islam’ is as diverse as the ‘History of Man’ or the ‘History of the Universe’!; because Islam is a way of life approved by Allah Subhanah since the very first man, and the father of all people on earth, Prophet Adam (a.s.).

To document the History of Islam, volumes of books would probably not suffice! Thus, it would simply not be possible for us to give you a historical report on Islam in these short articles. If you have a specific question on any part of the History of Islam, it would be our honor to send you a reply.

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

Your Brother in Islam,

Burhan
