‘Vital, important’ WILLIAM DALRYMPLE‘Perspective-shattering’ CAROLINE SANDERSON 'Offers a fresh, bracing perspective on European history' THE TIMESFor over 1,400 years, Muslims have been an integral part of Europe’s story, yet their contributions have been pushed to the margins or erased altogether. In Muslim Europe, award-winning author Tharik Hussain restores this forgotten history.In a revelatory journey across the continent, we tread in the footsteps of the first Muslims who arrived on European soil in 647 AD. We travel through Cyprus, Sicily, Malta, Portugal and Spain, learning about the continent’s great Caliphate culture and Muslim commonwealth, encountering red-haired European Sultans and Arabic-speaking Christian Kings, the Sufi lodges of Cyprus and the palaces of Sicily.Forgotten Muslim pioneers like Abbas Ibn Firnas gave us flight, Ibn Rushd gifted us modern philosophy and the cross fertilisation of faiths and cultures birthed Europe’s Christian Renaissance. For twelve centuries, Muslim Europe was a sanctuary for the continent’s Jews. Recalling the poignant voices of Hasdai Ibn Shaprut and Abraham Ibn Daoud, Jews flourished under Muslim protection triggering the Jewish Golden Age.For the first time, Muslim Europe lays bare the cause of our collective Islamic amnesia by mapping Europe’s ‘anti-Muslim DNA’ through medieval Crusade narratives and nation-building myths. But Islam was never a sideshow to Western culture; it was integral to its development for over 1,400 years.Deep, learned and utterly convincing, this first Muslim Eurocentric history of the continent dismantles the myth of Europe’s Judaeo-Christian cultural foundation, and offers nothing less than a profound shift in our self-understanding.‘Uncovers a world of which few are fully aware’ COLIN THUBRON

A magical, eye-opening account of a journey into a Europe that rarely makes the news and is in danger of being erased altogether. Another Europe. A Europe few people believe exists and many wish didn't. Muslim Europe. Winner of a BGTW Members' Excellence Award: Travel Narrative Book of the Year - The Adele Evans Award. Longlisted for the Baillie Gifford Prize 2021. Shortlisted in the Edward Stanford Travel Writing Awards 2022: Stanford Dolman Travel Book of the Year. Londoner Tharik Hussain sets off with his wife and young daughters around the Western Balkans, home to the largest indigenous Muslim population in Europe, and explores the regions of Eastern Europe where Islam has shaped places and people for more than half a millennium. Encountering blonde-haired, blue-eyed Muslims, visiting mystical Islamic lodges clinging to the side of mountains, and praying in mosques older than the Sistine Chapel, he paints a picture of a hidden Muslim Europe, a vibrant place with a breathtaking history, spellbinding culture and unique identity. Minarets in The Mountains, the first English travel narrative by a Muslim writer on this subject, also explores the historical roots of European Islamophobia. Tharik and his family learn lessons about themselves and their own identity as Britons, Europeans and Muslims. Following in the footsteps of renowned Ottoman traveller Evliya Celebi, they remind us that Europe is as Muslim as it is Christian, Jewish or pagan.Like William Dalrymple's In Xanadu, this is a vivid reimagining of a region's cultural heritage, unveiling forgotten Muslim communities, empires and their rulers; and like Kapka Kassabova's Border, it is a quest that forces us to consider what makes up our own identities, and more importantly, who decides?

Written by award-winning author Tharik Hussain, Muslim Britain and Ireland is a unique, groundbreaking travel guidebook about the largely ignored historic and contemporary Muslim heritage and culture of the British Isles. It guides readers and travellers to places and spaces that tell the story of Islam in the region - from the 8th century, when Anglo-Saxon King Offa minted an Islamic coin, through to the building of the Central Cambridge Mosque, Europe's most environmentally friendly Islamic place of worship.Region-by-region coverage introduces readers to points of interest typically overlooked by traditional travel guides, explaining their significance to the story of the British Isles - and articulating the impact of the region's second-largest religious group on its language, food, art, culture and architecture. Under-appreciated personalities and narratives are celebrated - from the Ottomans defying Queen Victoria to feed the starving Irish during the Great Famine via Celtic's bare-footed football star to the British-Indian lawyer Khwaja Kamal ud-Din who made Woking a 'Mecca of Europe' in the early 20th century. Throughout, the cultural richness is complemented by practical travel advice, including how 'visible' Muslims can travel safely and mosque etiquette for non-Muslims.Inspired and informed by Muslim Britain & Ireland, you can pray in northwest Europe's oldest purpose-built mosque (Woking's Shah Jahan), decipher the mystery of an 8th-century Islamic gold coin (held in the British Museum,) admire Europe's finest collection of ancient Qur'ans (at Dublin's Chester Beatty Library), hike through the Scottish Highlands in search of the resting place of Britain's first female Hajji, visit the Glasgow birthplace of the dish that changed Britain's culinary scene forever (chicken tikka masala), imagine British Islam's future beneath the dome of Cambridge's iconic and award-winning eco-mosque, or silently remember Britain's Muslim fallen at Woking's Peace Gardens.Written by an experienced guidebook author whose first travel narrative, Minarets in the Mountains: A Journey into Muslim Europe was showered in awards and critical plaudits, Muslim Britain & Ireland epitomises Bradt Guides' eternally pioneering spirit - a guidebook that will take you to unexpected places and make you look differently at a region you thought you knew well.
