Yeah, I read the Quran and wrote about it. There's not much of a historical narrative in it. Rather, it's full of rants about what God wants and doesn't want
But certainly, history is important to both Jews and Muslims too. It's just that the history that matters to those religions needn't be supernatural. Jews rely on their having survived many subjugations, while Muslims rely on their early military dominance. Those are historical facts, and they're enough to drive these religions without the theological overlays.
It's different for Christianity, though, since there's nothing special about early Christian history, apart from its having been adopted by the Roman Empire. Would that be enough to impress potential converts, without Jesus's supposed divine incarnation and resurrection from the dead? Does the Church boast about its having been embraced by a failing, corrupt, pagan empire, which led straight into a dark age? No, it boasts about the alleged historicity of its theological creed.
