520    Does history matter? This book argues not that history 
       matters, but that Islamic history does. This Very Short 
       Introduction introduces the story of Islamic history; the 
       controversies surrounding its study; and the significance 
       that it holds-for Muslims and for non-Muslims alike. 
       Opening with a lucid overview of the rise and spread of 
       Islam, from the seventh to twenty first century, the book 
       charts the evolution of what was originally a small, 
       localized community of believers into an international 
       religion with over a billion adherents. Chapters are also 
       dedicated to the peoples-Arabs, Persians, and Turks-who 
       shaped Islamic history, and to three representative 
       institutions-the mosque, jihad, and the caliphate-that 
       highlight Islam's diversity over time. Finally, the roles 
       that Islamic history has played in both religious and 
       political contexts are analysed, while stressing the 
       unique status that history enjoys amongst Muslims, 
       especially compared to its lowly place in Western 
       societies where history is often seen as little more than 
       something that is not to be repeated. Some of the 
       questions that will be answered are: - How did Islam arise
       from the obscurity of seventh century Arabia to the 
       headlines of twenty first century media? - How do we know 
       what we claim to know about Islam's rise and development? 
       - Why does any of this matter, either to Muslims or to non
       -Muslims?
