The extraordinary life of the man who founded Islam, and the world
he inhabited - and remade. Muhammad's was a life of almost
unparalleled historical importance; yet for all the iconic power of
his name, the intensely dramatic story of the prophet of Islam is
not well known. In The First Muslim, Lesley Hazleton brings him
vibrantly to life. Drawing on early eyewitness sources and on
history, politics, religion, and psychology, she renders him as a
man in full, in all his complexity and vitality. Hazleton's account
follows the arc of Muhammad's rise from powerlessness to power,
from anonymity to renown, from insignificance to lasting
significance. How did a child shunted to the margins end up
revolutionizing his world? How did a merchant come to challenge the
established order with a new vision of social justice? How did the
pariah hounded out of Mecca turn exile into a new and victorious
beginning? How did the outsider become the ultimate insider?
Impeccably researched and thrillingly readable, Hazleton's
narrative creates vivid insight into a man navigating between
idealism and pragmatism, faith and politics, non-violence and
violence, rejection and acclaim. The First Muslim illuminates not
only an immensely significant figure but his lastingly relevant
legacy.
