Morphology
The phrase is a straightforward combination of 'Islamic' (related to Islam) and 'history' (study of past events), so its meaning — the history of Islamic civilization or topics related to Islam — is directly derivable from the constituents. This compositional pattern is cross-linguistically common and would be readily understood by a B1 learner who knows both words.
Etymology
Islamic history comes from combining Islam (the religion started by the Prophet Muhammad) and history (stories of the past). People began to write down the Prophet's life, the early rulers, and the cultures across many lands, so today Islamic history means 'the study of the past of Muslim people and their culture'.
