QUESTION:
Is there any websites or places where I can learn the history of Islam as I believe that is key knowledge for us as Muslims?
ANSWER:
Unfortunately I am not aware of any authentic online sources from where Islamic History can be learnt. The most important aspect of Islamic History is without doubt the Prophetic Era mentioned in the books of Sirah and this should be of primary concern. Relied upon Sirah works that have been rendered into English include Shaykh Abdul Mustafa al-A’zhami’s (رحمة الله عليه) work ‘Siratul Mustafa’ published in English under the title ‘Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وآله وصحبه وسلم) The Prophet of Islam’. Ideally such works should be read under the guidance of Sunni ulama or students of sacred knowledge.
Allah knows best.
