| Résumé : |
The study of the early life of Mohammad and the subsequent development of Islam Is essential to understand modern day Islam.
For the Muslim, the Quran and Hadlth, are authoritative because they are seen to be the final revelation to man of Allah's will. With the growth of western education and its critical evaluation of evidence, has come a new conflict for Muslims. Is the Quran Allah's revelation exclusively? Has It always existed in Heaven on tables? Kev Canon Sell's classic study of the historical Influence upon Mohammad, is essential reading to appreciate the developing religious thought and the laws and edicts that proceeded from Mohammad In response to challenges to his authority and threats to the emerging new community. A radical change took place in Mohammad’s thinking with the shift from Mecca to Medina in AD622, the first year of the Hijra. For 13 years he had been a prophet without honour in Mecca trying to peacefully change pagan ways, all to no avail. In Medina he took up the sword and the world has never been the same. This People International reprint fulfills a need in the church to better understand Islam and its origins, so that relevant and informed communication can take place. |
