Muhammad: All That Matters

'Muhammad The Prophet' has had a huge influence on the course of world history. Indeed, Muhammad is always seen, described and analysed as Prophet of Islam. Until now, he has never been looked at as a man - as an individual motivated by a sense of justice and equality and a passion to help the marginalised, engaged in a struggle to establish the good society against all odds.Ziauddin Sardar's important new book incorporates new research, particularly on pre-Islamic Mexxa, to form a new critical biography which uniquely includes analysis of early events in Muhammad's life which have largely been ignored. The accent is on his character and the basic values underlying his vision of a just society. The reader emerges with a strong sense of Muhammad as a vibrant, complex human being.
