Yeni Tarih-i İslâm (New History of Islam) – Mithad Sadullah, 1331 (c. 1913)

Description:

Yeni Tarih-i İslâm (New History of Islam) is an Ottoman Turkish history textbook written by Mithad Sadullah Sander and published in Istanbul in 1331 (approximately 1913). The book was prepared in accordance with the latest curriculum programme of the Ottoman Ministry of Education for use in schools. Its opening pages explicitly identify it as an educational work intended to be taught within the Ottoman school system, making it an important example of the period's officially oriented historical textbooks.

The work begins with Tarih-i Enbiyâ (History of the Prophets), presenting the lives, narratives and religious messages associated with important prophets beginning with Adam. It then turns to the pre-Islamic Arabian Peninsula and the social, religious, commercial and cultural conditions of Arab society during the Jahiliyyah period immediately preceding the emergence of Islam.

A substantial portion is devoted to Siyer-i Nebî, covering the life of the Prophet Muhammad, including his birth and youth, the beginning of the revelation, his preaching in Mecca, the Hijra to Medina and the establishment of the foundations of the early Islamic community and state.

The book also discusses the first Islamic conquests and political developments, including the early military campaigns and defensive struggles of the Muslims, treaties and the successive stages through which Islam expanded. The historical narrative is supported by numerous illustrations and maps, giving the book a distinctly visual and educational character.

As an educational publication prepared for use in schools, Yeni Tarih-i İslâm provides a valuable example of how Islamic history was presented to Ottoman students in the final years of the Empire. Its combination of historical narrative, illustrations and cartographic material also reflects the changing approach to history education and textbook publishing in the late Ottoman period.
