My name is Abu Ibrahim Ismail and I'm an Islamic history nerd who goes deep into some of history's most entertaining and amazing stories as it relates to Islam and Muslims.
You're going to hear Islamic history like you've never heard it before. From Prophet Noah to Queen Bilqis. From the Ottoman Empire to the Islamic Caliphate.
If it's about Muslims and it happened in the past, Inshallah, you're going to get it here.
This is a bonus episode while I work on the main story arc. This episode continues the story of the British invasion of Afghanistan in the mid 1800's.
Eid Mubarak!
