Dear members! I have purchased two booKS:A short History Of Muslim Spain By Mazhar ul haq and its first part is not available in market now a days and the other book which i have purchased is: History Of the Arabs By Philip K.HITTI..Please comment on the chosen books if found any dearth ?

Dear book by Phillip Hitti has a very vast words about Islamic History and Culture and it is also found very useful by many DMG. So go through from it and best of luck.

Compulsory and extra books for Islamic History
 

First of all, the 2 books on Islamic History that are most relevant and must be read are:
[B]History of the Arabs[/B] by Phillip K Hitti
[B]Short History of the Saracens[/B] by Ameer Ali, Syed
Besides, there are few other books too from which I've found very good material like:
[B]History of the Moorish Empire in Europe[/B] (Vol. I & III)
[B]Spanish Islam[/B] by Reinhart Dozy (Very good book on the reigns of Abdur Rehman (1,2,3), Condition of Spain at the eve of Muslim conquest)
[B]A Political History of the Muslims[/B] by S.M. Imamuddin (Vol.II) (This book is very good for studying Umayyads and Abbasides)
[B]An Advanced History of Islam[/B] by Mohammad Arshad (This book has very useful information on various topics like Byzantine Empire, Sassanian Empire, Conditions of Arabia before Islam, All the 4 Caliphs and so on)
I hope these books will be quite helpful for every Islamic History student. Thank you
