About this listen
For over fourteen centuries, Islam has been shaping civilizations, inspiring revolutions, building empires, and anchoring daily life for billions. Yet in much of the modern world, it remains one of the most misunderstood and misrepresented forces on Earth.
This isn’t a religious manual or a political hit piece. It’s a story—told with clarity, reverence, and curiosity. From the deserts of 7th-century Arabia to the heights of the Islamic Golden Age, from the fall of the caliphate to the headlines of today, Islam traces the full arc of a faith that became a civilization.
JJ walks readers through every chapter—the Prophet’s life, the rise and fall of dynasties, the birth of Sunni and Shia, the Crusades, the Ottomans, colonialism, terrorism, and beyond—with a tone that’s respectful but unafraid to explore complexity. This is the story of a global community, an intellectual tradition, a spiritual path, and a cultural force that’s still evolving. And it’s time it was told right.
