This volume comprises articles dealing with qur'anic and
post-qur'anic aspects of the Prophet Muhammad's image and religious
environment. The pieces in the first section analyse Muhammad's
prophecy as reflected in the Qur'an and the post-qur'anic sources
of sira (Muhammad's biography), tafsir (Qur'an exegesis), ta'rikh
(historiography) and hadith (Muslim tradition). They reveal aspects
of the manner in which the post-qur'anic sources have elaborated on
the relatively modest qur'anic image of Muhammad for polemical
needs as well as due to natural admiration for the prophet of
Islam. Articles in the second section study Muhammad's prophetic
experience. By concentrating on specific events in Muhammad's life
further light can be shed on the post-qur'anic image of Muhammad as
developed by the Muslims of the first Islamic era. The articles
that comprise the third section look at Muhammad's Arabia,
specifically the traditions about Mecca and the Ka`ba as well as at
the pre-Islamic Arabian roots of some qur'anic and post-qur'anic
ideas and rituals, including the pre-Islamic sacred status of the
Ka'ba in relation to that of Jerusalem.
