This book, 'Islamic Civilization', serves as a foundational text for Islamic history studies in Egyptian and Arab universities in modern times. It comprises a series of lectures delivered to Egyptian University students in their first year following its opening in 1908. These lectures were given by the scholar Ahmed Zaki Pasha (1867-1934), known as the Sheikh of Arabism, and one of the leading figures of the modern Arab-Islamic renaissance for his diverse cultural and intellectual contributions, particularly those related to Arab heritage and Islamic civilization.

This edition of the book is characterized by the following: a historical study titled, 'Ahmed Zaki: The First Pioneer in Teaching Islamic History at the Egyptian University'; precise editing of the book's text based on its 1909 edition and the serialized publication in the Egyptian University Magazine, as well as lectures published in newspapers of that period. It adds three important texts to the lectures: the first includes the full text of Ahmed Zaki's lecture at the opening of the Egyptian University, where he discussed Islamic civilization and its impacts. The second features a publication of a university activity document by the Sheikh of Arabism, and the third contains an article by Dr. Zaki Mubarak on Zaki's connection with the Egyptian University.
