Through analysis of the Covenants of the Prophet Muhammad, which
pledge protection to diverse faith communities, this book makes a
profoundly important contribution to research on early Islam by
determining the Covenants' historicity and textual accuracy. The
authors focus on the Prophet Muhammad's relationship with other
faith communities by conducting detailed textual and linguistic
analysis of documents which have received little scholarly
consideration before. This not only includes decrees of the Prophet
Muhammad, 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, 'Ali ibn Abi Talib, and Mu'awiya
ibn Abi Sufyan, but also of important Muslim rulers. They present
their findings in relation to contemporaneous historical writings,
historic testimonies, official recognition, archaeological
evidence, historic scribal conventions, date-matching calculations,
textual parallelisms, and references in Muslim and non-Muslim
sources. They also provide new and revised translations of various
Covenants issued by the Prophet Muhammad which were attested by
Muslim authorities after him. The authors argue that the claim of
forgery is no longer tenable following the application of rigorous
textual and historical analysis. This book is essential reading for
Muslims, Christians, Jews, Samaritans, and Zoroastrians, as well as
anyone interested in interfaith relations, Islamophobia, extremist
ideologies, security studies, and the relationship between Orthodox
and Oriental Christianity with Islam.
