Paperback. Zustand: New. Language: English. About the Book:- It constitutes a whole in itself and is the first of a series of works which will trace the progress of Islam from Mekka to Delhi. The second work will be entitled 'The Khalifs of Baghdad,' and the third, 'Islam in India." The period of Muhammadan history which extends from the first preaching of Muhammad to the destruction of Baghdad by the Mongols, falls naturally into three divisions: The rule of the Arabs; The rule of the Persians; The rule of the Turks.
