* ISLAMIC HISTORY

All Muslim nations and states in history are the subject of Islamic History. Islamic History deals with the historical background of these nations and states, their later existence, institutions, social, cultural, political and economic aspects and tries to scientifically determine their place in Islamic culture and civilization. In doing so, it relies on a wide range of sources from poetry to archival materials, from written works to museum materials.
In parallel with the level of knowledge and formation that other departments and divisions aim to provide to their students, the Department of Islamic History assumes an important function in terms of dealing with Islamic history and civilization in the historical process.
