The dawn of Islam

In his deeply researched book, Ahmed Amin sheds light on the prosperous period of early Islamic history, tracing the expansion of Islamic conquests that embraced a rich and diverse array of civilizations and cultures. Amin discussed the impact of this enormous cultural diversity on the intellectual and civilizational march of the Islamic nation, especially during the Umayyad era, which was a melting pot of pre-Islamic, Islamic, Christian, Greek, Roman and Persian heritage, in addition to the influences of Indian religions. The book provides a detailed analysis of mental and cultural life from the dawn of Islam until the fall of the Umayyad state, explaining how this cultural mixture contributed to the formation and development of Islamic civilization.
