Witness the birth of the early Islamic empire period through the words of one of its first historians. Here, empire takes first shape. The Origins of the Islamic State, Vol. 1 is Philip Khuri Hitti's annotated English translation of al-Imam al-Baladhuri's celebrated Futuh al-Buldan, a classic Islamic history text charting the early Islamic conquests across the seventh-century Middle East and beyond. Combining narrative, geographic detail and historic commentary, Hitti opens a primary source for researchers to readers of English, tracing the rise of the caliphate and the expansion of the Arab empire from Arabia into Syria, Iraq, Persia, Egypt and North Africa. Respected as one of the foundational chronicles of the Muslim world, the Baladhuri Futuh al-Buldan stands beside the history of al-Tabari as indispensable evidence for understanding how cities were taken, treaties forged and communities transformed. For Islamic history students it offers vivid, close-to-the-source testimony; for general readers, a compelling window onto the worlds that emerged from the Prophet's successors. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. A scholarly reference edition that also invites casual exploration, it appeals equally to serious researchers and classic-literature enthusiasts seeking a cultural landmark in durable form.
