The Best Authentic and Simple Book on Islamic History in Urdu
Reference: Fatāwā Rashidiyyah, Page 530
❖ The Question
Among the books of history, which authentic and research-based Islamic history book is available in the Urdu language — written in a simple style — that can benefit both common people and those with limited knowledge?
❖ The Answer
Al-ḥamdu lillāh, waṣ-ṣalātu wa-s-salāmu ‘alā Rasūlillāh, ammā ba‘d!
So far, no book of Islamic history in Urdu has come to notice that is fully authentic with complete references.
However, Mawlānā Akbar Shāh Najīb Ābādī’s “Tārīkh-e-Islām” (in three volumes) is to some extent suitable for study.
At present, this book may be read.
But for deeper research and thorough information, there is no alternative except to study Arabic works of Islamic history.
