Bought this book as a gift for a friend but book and packaging were damaged when delivered. I contacted seller who responded promptly and sent out a replacement quickly- very understanding and excellent service.

The book is lovely with many interesting facts and history, very enlightening, an ideal coffee table book. Would highly recommend.

I'm quite surprised to see no reviews here. This book is an amazing read.

Considering the volume of information in here, I highly recommend the Hardback version.

It looks and feels really high quality, which encourages one to keep reading from it.

Kids cant put it down, and they love the pictures and feel of the pages too.

After looking for many decent books on Islamic heritage, this is by far the best.

Professor Salim Al-Hussani has done our Ummah a great service. I thank him wholeheartedly.

If you want to learn about Islamic Civilization, this book is for you, regardless of age.

Bonus is that the kids love it! May Allah (swt) reward you Brother Salim.

Buy this book, you will not be disappointed.

Hardback version is definitely worth the extra in my opinion. My best book purchase of the year.

10/10

From the very first few pages of text, it is truly inspiring. No longer do we have to skip over "the dark ages" of history. Instead, we can recognize an entire society for what it was: a bastion of learning. Without it, the renaissance would never have begun and without it, the dark ages that Europe was indeed plunged into could have persisted for centuries more. The society being described was the Islamic Ummayad Caliphate, showing what a nation -Properly- governed by the Qur'an and Sunnah(Traditions of the Prophet Muhammad, SAW) achieved for themselves and for the generations of people who came after them.

Got this as a gift for mixed race/faith neices to learn about their Muslim heritage in a positive way. Not a day goes by in the current climate where children are constantly subjected to negative stereotypes about Muslims and Islam so this book is vital to countering such simplistic and often xenophobic narratives.

I had the 2nd edition already so was expecting this version to be pretty similar and more large in size, but it has actually streamlined and become better at communicating key information in its 3rd edition. I think this book is perfect for ages 6 years and up. It is in the style of a children's encyclopaedia and has key topics with case studies/an in depth look at key inventions for each chapter.

I genuinely feel every home and education setting needs this book - to discuss, explore and revive the positive heritage Muslims and Islamic societies have contributed to humanity.

Had this book ages ago but lent it to someone and never got it back. It has loads of really interesting information which isn’t as well known and good pictures. Would recommend

A fantastic look at the invention of Muslim civilisation that goes back eons,

this book is an incredible look at the enduring legacy of invention and how there have been incredible strides made in science that were made in what seems like the stone age but it shows how this is a incredible legacy that can inspire change and change the course of history for centuries to come.

A great read.

i realy enjoyed the information,and its good for all ages,its worth every penny for the amount of knowlege you get about ISLAM

This is my fourth purchase of 1001 Islamic Inventions published by National Geographic. A treasure of information about science, medecine, law, mathematics, arts etc... in the Islamic worl who were far advanced at that time and still in practice today.

A wonderful gift to give to parents or friends who have an inquisitive mind.

Ein wunderbar bebildertes und informatives Buch über die Blütezeit der islamischen Kultur und Wissenschaft. Heutzutage in Vergessenheit geraten, weist das Buch auf, wie sehr die Muslime durch ihre Erkenntnisse und Forschungen das heutige Leben entscheidend geprägt haben. Wer weiß schon, dass die Café's auf die Muslime des osmanischen Reichs zurückgehen, dass die Algebra so von einem arabischen Mathematiker benannt wurde und der Zucker aus dem Arabischen kommt? Das und vieles mehr, kann man in diesem sehr empfehlenswerten Buch nachlesen!

👌

Molto curato con una stampa eccezionale e informazioni utilissime che non so trovano nei libri di scuola

This book contains a ton of knowledge in an enjoyable and easy to read format. It gives you a good detail of Muslims' diverse and rich history. The book contains good historical pictures and is beautifully illustrated. The author Salim al-Hassani did a great job by filling in this void. Would definitely recommend this especially for young Muslims looking to reflect on their history.

Le livre est très beau et en bon état.

Quant au contenu, je dois avouer être très charmé par la civilisation musulmane. Que de génies de toutes les contrées sous l'égide de la religion (remarquons que les musulmans ont réussi à créer ce que personne n'avait fait et n'a toujours pas fait: englober plusieurs peuple sans frontières tout en préservant leur culture et croyance.). Les musulmans ont eu cette rapide faculté de s'engager dans la voie scientifique (il me semble que la Science tient une grande place dans l'islam) contrairement aux empires chrétiens qui ont attendu 15 siècles avant de s'y mettre, (ils auraient du briller avant) leur science reposant sur celle des musulmans. De nombreuses innovations dans tous les domaines et de nombreuses paternités de domaines qui ont permis au final à l'Europe de se développer.

Il est extrêmement désolant de voir aujourd'hui le peuple musulman dans la décadence et l'ignorance. J'espère vraiment qu'ils auront leur Renaissance.
