The study of Islamic history has traditionally been approached from theological, legal, or literary perspectives. However, in recent decades, a growing number of scholars have sought to explore Islamic history through a social science lens. This approach, which examines Islamic history in relation to politics, economics, sociology, and history, offers a more comprehensive and nuanced understanding of the past.

The book examines the evolution of Arab historiography, the relationship between Islamic history and politics, and the intersection of Islamic history, economics, sociology, and history. Each section delves into specific aspects of Islamic history using a social science lens, resulting in a rich and multifaceted understanding of the past.
