A Social History Of Education In The Muslim World From the Prophetic Era to Ottoman Times

A Social History of Education in the Muslim World: From the Prophetic Era to Ottoman Times provides a comprehensive view of education and society in the Muslim world throughout the five key historic periods: Madinah to Damascus, Baghdad, Cairo and Istanbul.

The book explores how the Muslim quest for knowledge has defined education, how Muslim educational institutions have evolved and how this social history has affected contemporary Islamic education.

This is an invaluable aid to anyone in the field of Muslim education.

"Contained within are many gems of prized information, that reveal "a labour of love" on the part of the author in uncovering such facts, which need to be expounded further so that they become common knowledge, and can assist in countering widespread Orientalist misconceptions about Islam."

(The Muslim World Book Review)
