To properly assess the current state and dynamics of the Islamic world, it is crucial to learn, understand, and critique its past within the framework of scholarly data, devoid of fanaticism. However, in our country, there are few studies that allow us to provide a comprehensive picture of the Islamic world's past. Some of the books published in this field are quite extensive and require considerable effort to utilize. On the other hand, there are some studies primarily focused on Turkish-Islamic history, but studies that provide information on regions beyond the regions where Turks live are extremely rare.
In this study, considering the spread of Islam and the traditional structure of the pre-modern Islamic world, a classification based on Muslim geography was chosen over a classification based on nations. Thus, each chapter explores the historical journey of a specific region. The Seljuks and Ottomans, who dominated different regions, are examined separately in separate chapters. In a sense, our book can be considered a study of the history of Muslim states/societies.
This work was designed to be taught in a single semester, taking into account the curriculum of theology faculties, over a period of 14 weeks. However, efforts have been made to ensure that the book is accessible not only to theology students but also to all readers interested in Islamic history.
