World History is a requirement for high school graduation in just about every U.S. state. However, it is often presented from a perspective that embraces outdated paradigms, diminishes the contributions of Muslims and non-White peoples, glorifies war, and often has an atheistic approach to events and the motivations of people.
An Islamic perspective on world history is largely absent from our schools, even in so-called Islamic schools. Dar al-Afia’s World History course will adopt such an approach. In sha’ Allah this 30-week course will use online course materials in combination with various selections from academic monographs to explore alternative perspectives on world history and the role of Muslims and non-White people’s in the shaping of the world as we know it.
