Muhammad at MedinaMuhammad at Medina was written by W. Montgomery Watt as a sequel to his Muhammad at Mecca and the two works together constitute a comprehensive history of the Life of Muhammad and the origins of the Islamic Community. The author has examined a vast mass of scholarly discussion and in this pioneering work he has attempted to answer many questions that have hardly been raised in the past. He has endeavored to write so as to be easily understood by the historian who has no knowledge of Arabic. |
