السلام عليكم Do you know any resources to learn Islamic history past the lifetime of the prophet such as the developments of madhabs. which scholars carry their development, major caliphate And even which scholars come when/what ideas they came with etc. Any/As many resources that you know please!

I think when you study this without a vast knowledge—and having really strong advanced knowledge as well as strong foundations in Islamic Knowledge—that you will submerge yourself and drown in a lot of suspicious matters that you don't know the answers to. In that, there might be some goodness, but it is incomparably less than the amount of goodness you will get by studying Islamic knowledge itself and being well-versed in it. Therefore, I don't even recommend this. What I recommend is the following: 1. Focus on seeking Islamic knowledge and foundational knowledge before you start reading history. 2. Keep in mind that a lot of history that was written is not with authentic chains of narration. 3. Understand that there are often many interpolations put inside that will cause a lot of comprehension problems, confusion, and suspicious matters for you.
