A Starlight View of Islam’s Past

Description

A Starlight View of Islam’s Past by Sayyed Abul Hasan ‘Ali Nadwi turns history into a living, luminous story for young readers. Using the imaginative device of starlight witnessing events across time, Nadwi transforms complex moments—the spread of Islam, the Mongol invasions, the Crusades, and the fall of Andalusia—into three vivid short stories that spark curiosity and moral reflection.
