Here are the next set of slides on early Islamic history.  These ones look at the first civil war (fitna) between Ali and Mu’awiya.  Enjoy and may God them beneficial.

  1. [...] This is just a quick note to say that I’ve posted some new material over at The Islamic History Corner.  That is, I’ve posted the next set of slides.  These slides are on the first fitna (or civil war). [...]

  2. Assalamu alikum ya Akhy,
    I just read your slide show covering the first Civil war. Thank you for putting in the appreciated efforts, however, I would like to know why did you refer to Madelung’s writings although he is a very well known orientalist?
    Thank you

  3. wa alaikum salam Su,

    Welcome! Allah bless you. I referred to Madelung’s writings because I think it is important to refer to as many sources as possible, orientalist and otherwise.

    Ma’as salama
