Atlas of the history of the Umayyad state

Atlas of the history of the Umayyad state Author: Sami bin Abdullah bin Ahmed Al-Maghlooth Binding: Cover Volumes: One Paper: Shamooh Size: 14 × 21 Overview: This book titled "Atlas of the history of the Umayyad state" discusses the establishment of the Umayyad state by the Commander of the Faithful, Muawiya bin Abi Sufyan — may Allah be pleased with them — at a time when Muslims were in great need of unity, gathering the word, and mending the rift, especially after Al-Hasan bin Ali — may Allah be pleased with them — abdicated the caliphate to Muawiya in the "Year of the Community" 41 AH / 661 AD. Since then... the Umayyad state has borne the responsibility of spreading the banner of Islam across the corners of the world. Muawiya established its foundation as a strong caliphate, attracted opponents to obey him, and worked to unify the Muslim word. His rule was distinguished by wisdom and justice ("Umayyad for the highest, his journey and the lofty goals with a mount and roads"), and the influence of Islamic civilization extended from Damascus to distant parts of the world, making the Umayyad state the largest Islamic state known in history. Then, the caliphs from the Umayyad family continued to rule after him. This atlas employs this great effort through detailed maps, expressive images, and selected texts to be an insightful mirror of this important historical period in the history of the Islamic nation.
