Story4.5 out of 5 stars 15
Islam has been one of the most powerful religious, social, and political forces in history. Over the last 1,400 years, from origins in Arabia, a succession of Muslim polities, and later empires expanded to control territories and peoples that ultimately stretched from southern France to East Africa and South East Asia. Yet many of the contributions of Muslim thinkers, scientists, and theologians, not to mention rulers, statesmen, and soldiers, have been occluded. This book rescues from oblivion and neglect some of these personalities and institutions.

Story5 out of 5 stars 2
Fusing details long known to Muslim scholars but inaccessible to popular audiences, Mohamad Jebara brings to life the gripping personal story of Islam’s founding prophet. From his dramatic birth to nearly being abducted into slavery to escaping assassination, Muhammad emerges as an unrelenting man on a mission. Surrounding the protagonist are dynamic women who nurture Muhammad; Jewish and Christian mentors who inspire him; and the enslaved individuals he helps liberate who propel his movement.

Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

Sahih Al Bukhari is a collection of sayings and deeds of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), also known as the sunnah. The reports of the Prophet's sayings and deeds are called ahadith. Bukhari lived a couple of centuries after the Prophet's death and worked extremely hard to collect his ahadith. Each report in his collection was checked for compatibility with the Qur'an, and the veracity of the chain of reporters had to be painstakingly established.

Excellent history of the Islamic world.
Written from the Islamic perspective, yet remains objective. Just like history should be done. One of my favorite audio books to date.

A much needed introduction to Muslim Historiography
Destiny Disrupted is a refreshing, expansive counterpoint to western, orientalist historical narratives of Islam. Tamim takes the long view of the deep entanglement of religion, politics, and socioeconomics across the history of muslim nations and their relation with the rest of the world
Make no mistake: Destiny Disrupted is a popular history book, meaning it is relentlessly accessible and sweepingly broad, but lacking in specifics. And mile wide and an meter deep, as the saying goes. It succeeds as a great, eyeopening introduction into a subject, and more importantly a Religion, that is all to often often mischaracterized in modern public discourse. That said, this book is by no means that only one you should read about Islamic geopolitics. The author says so himself in the book’s opening.
Tamim’s voice permeates every facet of this book. That he narrates it himself only augments the fact that this is very much his perspective on an incredibly dense and complicated topic. This allows his own insights to come through more strongly. He makes no pretension at objectivity, because that is not is goal. Tamim is laser focused on teaching those more familiar with a Eurocentric view of history a new way of understanding the world. And in that pursuit, he succeeds with leaps and bounds.
For those interested in diving deeper into the subject, I would recommend Al-Jabarti’s Napoleon in Egypt. If you are interested in digging further into the frictions Tamim emphasizes, I would advise looking into Edward Said’s Orientalism.
