Description

This book, written by D.S. Margoliouth, presents an intellectual and respectful examination of Mohammed as a significant figure in history. The author recognizes Mohammed not just as a religious leader but as a great statesman who successfully addressed the monumental task of uniting the Arab tribes and establishing both a state and an empire. Margoliouth explores the political genius of Mohammed, detailing how he managed the formation of an empire while providing an objective and respectful analysis of his actions and accomplishments.

The volume aims to:

• Respectfully assess Mohammed's intellectual abilities, political strategies, and leadership
• Highlight his role in shaping the history of the Arab tribes and the Islamic empire
• Offer a balanced perspective, neither apologetic nor critical, on Mohammed’s achievements
• Draw from various Arab sources and scholarly works, including earlier European historians and experts on Islamic traditions
• Condemn unhistorical traditions, referencing the works of notable scholars like Ignaz Goldziher, Thodor Noldeke, and Julius Wellhausen

This book will appeal to readers interested in Islamic history, political history, and the life of Mohammed from a scholarly standpoint.
