This book, which offers an overview of the history of Islam, is the first of its kind in Swedish, spanning from the early 7th century CE to the present day.
The book focuses as much on Islamic doctrine as on external events. Among the topics it covers are the Caliphs of Baghdad, Andalusia, prominent philosophers, the Ottoman Empire, Sufism, Islamic law, and Arab nationalism.
Christer Hedin is a historian of religions and a university professor in Stockholm. The Danish newspaper Daily described it as “an exceptionally objective book,” and the magazine Tidningen Kulturen described it as “a book that calls for careful reading.”
