Written with scholarly authority and elegant clarity, W. Montgomery Watt — one of the twentieth century's foremost Western scholars of Islam — chronicles the political, intellectual, and spiritual forces that shaped one of history's most remarkable civilisations. The work details the rise of the Islamic empire, its extraordinary contributions to philosophy, science, literature, and the arts, and the complex interplay between theology and governance that defined the era. Watt argues persuasively that the Islamic world during this period was not merely a conduit for ancient Greek knowledge but a vibrant, creative force in its own right, whose legacy continues to resonate in the modern world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956355444955,"sku":"2026100006078-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/a2e0e0a6-dee1-4e4f-9a3f-e33692f96bfe.png?v=1783500161","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100006078-secondhand-the-majesty-that-was-islam","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
