History of Islam

[Muslim Knight]

Anyone can suggest good books on "History of Islam" preferably those that covers from the time of Khulafa Rashidun to Turki Uthmaniyyah Empire and beyond until present time.

I'd appreciate titles of books and authors' names so I can look it up in libraries and bookshops. Even those from Western Orientalist studies.

Thank you all very kindly.

If you know arabic, Al Bidaayah Wa-Nihaayah. By Ibn Kathir.
