This is the story of the goatherd who changed the world. Although Muhammad was one of the most influential men in history, few people today know anything about him. This book, researched from the earliest Islamic sources, documents his life.
Here at last the truth is laid bare: his humble beginnings; why he believed he had a message from Allah; how he convinced some of his neighbours to accept his message and why others were sceptical; and what eventually led to swords being UNSHEATHED.
In the bitter conflict for Arabia's soul, treaties were broken, strangers were slain, and parents, children, brothers and wives were betrayed. Survivors were drawn into the close-knit Muslim community and the compelling rule of sharia. The Prophet, convinced that Allah had sent him as a mercy to all the world, met every challenge without faltering in his mission, and his disciples never abandoned their Prophet.
This is the story of Muhammad.
