Indeks : p.243-256 p.227-240 In this book the writer is primarily concerned with the problem of Mohammad?s personality and prophetic career ? one of the central issues of Islamic history. He argues that Mohammad?s career must be considered within the context of the urban and mercantile society of seventeenth century Mecca and rejects the idea that Islam was principally the creation of a nomadic environment. It is first and foremost contemporary Islam which is here considered, Islam as formed by the evolution of thirteen centuries. But the details supplied enable the reader to follow its historical development. It take for granted a knowledge of the outline of its political history from the death of the Prophet onwards.
