WHO IT’S FOR
For the child who can read
Our Online Islamic History Course is designed for children from around age nine who have covered the Seerah and are ready to explore what followed in Islamic history. It’s also ideal for teenagers studying history at school who want to discover the part of Islamic history their syllabus may leave out, and adults who know the beginning and the present but very little in between.
The journey, step by step
Online Islamic History Course—5 Amazing & Essential Stages
This Online Islamic History Course is structured into five carefully designed stages, with each stage building naturally on the one before it. Students progress step by step through key events, remarkable figures, and important developments in Islamic history, gaining a deeper understanding of the Muslim world and the events that shaped its rich heritage.
The Rightly-Guided Caliphs
The first thirty years, the expansion, and the conflicts that shaped everything after.
The Umayyads
Damascus, the reach from Spain to the Indus, and how an empire changed the community that built it.
The Abbasids & the Golden Age
Baghdad, the House of Wisdom, and the scholars whose work Europe later translated.
The Scholars
The four imams, the great muhaddithin, and how the sciences your child studies today were actually assembled.
Al-Andalus & the Ottomans
Eight centuries in Spain, six under the Ottomans, and what the end of each meant.
The Modern Period
Colonisation, independence, migration, and how Muslim communities came to be established in Britain.
Every lesson is one-to-one. Your teacher connects each era to the next — so history becomes a story your child understands, not a list of dates to memorise.

Frequently Asked Questions
What age is this suitable for?
Around nine and up. Younger children usually get more from the Seerah first, since it gives them the starting point everything else follows from.
How long is the course?
Roughly a year at one lesson a week to cover all six periods. It can be shortened by focusing on a particular era.
Do you cover the difficult parts of the history?
Yes. Conflicts, mistakes and periods of decline are part of the account. A sanitised history is not history and children see through it quickly.
Can this help with school history?
Often, yes — particularly the crusades, the Ottomans and the colonial period, which appear on UK syllabuses and are usually taught from one side only.
Related courses
Most children pick up the Seerah as a scattering of episodes: the cave, the migration, a battle whose name they half remember. Told that way it never becomes a story, and a story is exactly what it is.
Children ask the hard questions early, and usually at inconvenient moments. Where is Allah. Why can’t we see Him. What happens when we die. Answered badly, those questions leave a residue that lasts years.
The classic first book. Letters, their shapes and sounds, joining them together, and the vowel marks — the foundation everything else rests on. Most children work through it in a few months.
