The Islamic History Podcast is a show that seeks to explore the many stories that make up the current world of Islam.

But we do more than rehash old tales. We explore hidden side-alleys most would rather not see. We not only want to know what happened; we want to know why it happened.

The Islamic History Podcast (IHP) began as an audio extension of a semi-popular blog called Islamic Learning Materials. It did not take long for the bloggers to realize they had something special.

IHP began in 2015 when the former Islamic Learning Materials podcast decided to focus solely on Islamic history.

Since then, we’ve explored some of the most fascinating, and devastating, facets of Islamic history.

We looked at things such as:

The Massacre of Karbala

Sunnis and Shiites

The Yemeni Civil War

The Rohingya Crisis

And much more.

Subscribe and stay tuned. IHP is just getting started.
