Why Tareekh matters

The publisher’s introduction makes a simple point: history is a guide for a nation’s progress, and the one who ignores it risks decline. It observes that while other nations study their pasts with great effort, Muslims, despite a proud history, often neglect their own. The set presents itself as an attempt to place true events and their real causes before readers. Whatever your reason for reading, Tareekh helps us see how the lessons of the past apply to today, and how faith, leadership, justice and unity shaped communities over many centuries.

How to benefit from a long history

A large set is best read in small, steady portions. Read a chapter at a time, note the names and dates, and write a short summary in your own words. Pause to reflect on lessons of character: honesty, patience and sincerity in service of Allah. Discuss what you read with family or friends, and consult a trustworthy scholar when a question arises. Keep sending salawat upon Prophet Muhammad ﷺ whenever his name appears. History books are written by human authors, so reading another source alongside this one is a good habit for serious students.
