Conversion to Islam is a phenomenon of immense significance in
human history. At the outset of Islamic rule in the seventh
century, Muslims constituted a tiny minority in most areas under
their control. But by the beginning of the modern period, they
formed the majority in most territories from North Africa to
Southeast Asia. Across such diverse lands, peoples, and time
periods, conversion was a complex, varied phenomenon. Converts
lived in a world of overlapping and competing religious, cultural,
social, and familial affiliations, and the effects of turning to
Islam played out in every aspect of life. Conversion therefore
provides a critical lens for world history, magnifying the
constantly evolving array of beliefs, practices, and outlooks that
constitute Islam around the globe. This groundbreaking collection
of texts, translated from sources in a dozen languages from the
seventh to the eighteenth centuries, presents the historical
process of conversion to Islam in all its variety and unruly
detail, through the eyes of both Muslim and non-Muslim observers.
