Of the eight modules in the curriculum, three are aimed at presenting the history of Muslim societies and civilisations, from the sixth to the present century.Encounters in Muslim History Volume 1 is the bridging module between the formative and contemporary periods. It focuses on significant developments which occurred in Muslim-ruled regions and neighbouring lands, between the 11th and 13th centuries. These events include the rise of the Seljuk dynasty, Ismaili da‘wa as it developed in Persia, Syria and Badakhshan, and the engagements of Muslims with invading forces, such as the Crusaders and the Mongols.
