Muhammad b. OCyUmar al-Waqidi was a Muslim scholar, born in
Medina in the 1st Century. Of his several writings the most
significant is the Kitab al-Maghazi, one of the earliest standard
histories of the life of the Prophet.
Translated into English for the first time, Rizwi Faizer makes
available this key text to a new, English-speaking audience. It
includes an Introduction authored jointly by Rizwi Faizer and
Andrew Rippin and a carefully prepared index. The book deals with
the events of the ProphetOCOs life from the time of his emigration
from Mecca to his death, and is generally considered to be
biographical. Bringing together events in the ProphetOCOs life with
appropriate passages of QurOCOan in a considered sequence, the
author presents an interpretation of Islam that existed in his
times. It includes citations from the QurOCO?n, as well as poetry
that appears to have been inspired by activities during his
life.
This English translation of a seminal text on the life of
Muhammad is an invaluable addition to the existing literature, and
will be of great significance to students and scholars in the field
of Islamic studies, Islamic history, Medieval history and Arabic
literature. "
