About The Author 

Issa Meyer

‘Issa Meyer is a French Muslim writer and popular historian specializing in Islamic history and civilization, with a particular focus on al-Andalus and the Maghreb. A convert to Islam since 2013, living between the United Kingdom and Morocco, he is dedicated to making the rich heritage of the Muslim world accessible to all readers through clear, engaging, and narrative-driven storytelling.

Educated at the University of Strasbourg, he has authored twelve works of popular Islamic history in French, including one historical novel and sagas exploring key eras of the Islamic past. Five of his historical works have already been translated into English:

  • The Story of the Andalusis
  • Women of Islam
  • A Short History of the Islamic Maghreb
  • A Short History of Islamic West Africa
  • A Short History of Islamic Syria

In addition to his own writings, ‘Issa Meyer has translated numerous significant English-language works into French, including Yasir Qadhi’s The Sīrah of the Prophet, Agha Ibrahim Akram’s studies on the early Muslim conquests, Alija Izetbegović’s Islam Between East and West, Sir Thomas Arnold’s The Preaching of Islam, Anwar Chejne’s Ibn Hazm and André Dirlik’s ‘Abd al-Hamīd ibn Bādīs as well as other scholarly and historical works.

Blending rigorous research with accessible prose, his mission is to help readers rediscover the depth, diversity, and brilliance of the Muslim world’s past while making Islamic history engaging and approachable for all.

Why Zaman Books Stands Out

Zaman Books was founded on a clear mission: to make Islamic history clear, accessible, and open to everyone. Their beautifully produced books bring to life the rich legacy of Muslim civilisation – from the saga of Islamic Sicily and the golden age of al-Andalus to the majestic Ottoman Empire and the inspiring stories of Women of Islam.

With dedicated series such as The Essentials (for adults seeking scholarly depth) and Zaman Kids (created with care, love, and devotion to give children authentic heroes and role models), Zaman Books offers something for every member of the family. Their translations of classical works, such as Ibn Hazm’s The Book of the Healing of Souls, combine rigorous academic excellence with engaging, readable prose that connects readers directly to the beauty of Islamic tradition.
