History of Childhood in Islam - Child and Childhood in Medieval Islamic Society | alBaraka Publications

History of Childhood in Islam - Book Description of Children and Childhood in Medieval Islamic Society The studies in this book are based on historical-philological methodology enriched by a comparative approach to the subject. This means that when examining Arabic texts from the Middle Ages, the findings of social historians, especially family and childhood historians in societies outside the field of Islamic civilization, and anthropologists working on Middle Eastern societies, are taken into account. One of the important factors that makes the book ambitious is that the history of childhood in Islam is still in its infancy and this research has taken almost the first steps in the field. We hope that this compilation will be a starting point for a more systematic and comprehensive examination of this interesting subject, which is indispensable for understanding the history of Islamic civilization.
