The Prophet Muhammad is a hero for all mankind. In his lifetime he
established a new religion, Islam; a new state, the first united
Arabia; and a new literary language, the classical Arabic of the
Qur'an, for the Qur'an is believed to be the word of God revealed
to Muhammad by the angel Gabriel. A generation after his death he
would be acknowledged as the founder of a world empire and a new
civilisation. Any one of these achievements would have been more
than enough to permanently establish his genius. To our early
twenty-first century minds, what is all the more astonishing is
that he also managed to stay true to himself and retained to his
last days the humility, courtesy and humanity that he had learned
as an orphan shepherd boy in central Arabia. If one looks for a
parallel example from Christendom, you would have to combine the
Emperor Constantine with St Francis and St Paul, an awesome
prospect. Barnaby Rogerson's elegant biography not only looks
directly at the life of the Prophet Muhammad, but beautifully
evokes for western readers the Arabian world into which he was born
in 570 AD.
