Description

This foundational historical text provides an authoritative account of Islamic statehood's earliest period through Philip K. Hitti's translation of al-Baladhuri's Kitaab Futu al-Buldaan. The work documents Prophet Muhammad's military campaigns, the Ridda Wars that followed his death, and the rapid territorial expansions across Syria, Armenia, Egypt, and the Maghrib, concluding with the conquest of Iraq and Persia. As one of the most reliable primary sources available on Islamic state formation, this scholarly translation offers readers direct access to medieval Arabic historical records that shaped the development of the Islamic caliphate. Historians, students of Islamic history, and academics studying early medieval Middle Eastern history will find this text invaluable for understanding the military, political, and religious dimensions of Islamic expansion during the 7th and 8th centuries.
