Welcome back to another season of the Islamic History Podcast!

In this season, we’re going to mostly cover the Umayyad Dynasty. The first several episodes will be focused on the founder of this dynasty, Muawiyyah ibn Abi Sufyan.

Today’s episode is an introduction to Syria and Kufah during this period. We’ll take a look at the challenges the new Muslim Caliph had to face in the never ending Khawarij threat.

We’ll discover how the early Muslim administrations were governed and some amazing details you probably never knew.

This is guaranteed to be an episode that will both educate and entertain you.

After the show is over, be sure to visit the Show Notes page.
