" An entertaining overview of the history of Islam that's short, simple, and easy-to-read. These sorts of history books might leave you wanting more detail, but they also make it easier to get a bird's eye view perspective on things. This book does exactly that, and gives valuable insight into one of the world's most influential ideologies. "

" Buku ini tidak hanya menarik karena bisa memberikan gambaran dan sudut pandang menarik tentang keterkaitan berbagai peristiwa sejarah dunia. Lebih dari itu, buku ini berusaha mengemukakan sudut pandang Islam atas sejarah dunia, sebuah sudut pandang yang oleh sejarah arus utama cenderung kurang diberi ruang. "

" I thought this was a fabulous book. Very easy to read with a conversational, easy style but with a mountain of information and a necessary refocusing of our world history to give the Muslim world their appropriate place in it. Should be read by all. "

" An interesting non-western look at history. The author takes us all the way from Mohammed through the terrorist events of 2001 and does an even handed job of explaining why, from a Moderate Muslim's perspective, the events took place.

" A must read for every Westerner. Tamim does an outstanding job of describing world history through the eyes of a Muslim. It’s the eastern equivalent to “A Little History of the World by E. H. Gombrich”. ISBN-10: 1586488139
