Mohamed Kasim Ferishta
Tr., by John Briggs
Mahomed Kasim Shah Ferishta, a Persian historian was born at Astrabad on the borders of
Caspian sea in 1570 AD. He came to Bijapur in 1589 and spent remainder of his life under
the immediate protection of Ibrahim Adil Shah II, who commissioned him to write the
general history of the Muslims in India. Ferishta presented the first draft of his history to
Ibrahim Adil Shah in 1606 AD and spent the rest of the life in revising it. In the introduction
of his work he gave a summary of the Muslim Conquest, and also of the Arab conquest of
the Indian Borderlands. Ferishta is reputed as one of the most trustworthy of oriental
historians. His work has come to be regarded as a classic and still maintains a high place as an authority. The date of his
death is altogether unknown. Briggs supposes that it occured in 1612 AD making him only forty one years of age.

History of Islam
(3 vol. set)
Akbar Shah Khan Najeebabadi
History stands as the most effective and valuable source of putting nations on the course of
progress and prosperity and saving them from the path of disgrace and degradation.
It is the branch of knowledge that helps us to dig into the past. We learn about the lives of
great men and significant events. Muslims stand ahead of other people in that they have
recorded and preserved their history meticulously. When western scholars were groping in
the dark, Muslims delved into the past, investigated and probed and were devoted to
knowledge and learning.
This book presents the true Islamic events and their actual causes before the English
readers because the other books in the English language found on the Islamic history have been written by such authors
and compilers who did no justice in presenting the true picture of Islamic Era but their prejudice prevented them from
doing so.
The author has written a comprehensive account and the translator has done full justice to the originarwork. Historical
events and persons are introduced to the readers, and they may counter the propaganda of the Orientalists confidently.
