تاريخ الخلفاء
Tārīkh al-Khulafāʾ
The caliphs in order, from Abū Bakr onward, with al-Suyūṭī’s sources given. The history text of the older curriculum, and still the plainest place to see how the early community actually governed itself.

In English — ours
Not yet. We translate rather than reprint, so the English for this book begins the day its first lesson is taught.
We link rather than mirror. The classical texts are out of copyright, but the modern printed editions of them are not, so we point you at a library that already carries one instead of putting somebody else’s edition on our server. What we do host is our own work.
Lessons
Not written yet. This book is on the map so you can see where it sits in the course, not because it is ready to study here.
