Description and Table of Contents

Description

This volume provides an introduction to the life and message of the Prophet Muhammad, as well as a study of the effects of Islam - a religion that succeeded in yoking the most antagonistic tribes and peoples together under a common purpose, transforming Arabia from a nomadic to a settled society. This edition is published with a new prologue by the author, a scholar of Islamic history and society.
