Tell me the name of this book im always interested in eveything so i would love to give it a read. Hopefully i can find it.

Well, shylence, the best I can say about the name of the book grandad handed me is that it has none (as a seperate title). however that said, I can describe it: pink or blue-green cover(depends on volume number), inside written in Arabic (yes Arabic), arranged in IIRC 3 or 4 seperate books (i.e. a volume-he said 2 were lost). the history it gives stretches from 600-790AD (at least the early ones). printed either in Egypt or Lebanon (he went to universtity in Alexandreia and beirut).

He also handed me a very comprehensive arabic history book from Uncle Hussam's days: blue green book, again arabic script, the name history of the arab and islamic world: from jahiliyyah to the early Abbasid era (TPC might want to read that particular one-he'd like it).

they have really helped in starting on the Ancient Arab world. both are good reads, make sense, but are in Arabic (no, they aren't the type that blidly praise the faith-just the facts).
