In a comprehensive study of early Islamic history, Wilferd Madelung
examines the conflict which developed after Muhammad's death for
the leadership of the Muslim community. He pursues the history of
this conflict through the reign of the four 'Rightly Guided'
caliphs to its climax in the first inter-Muslim war. The outcome of
the war, which marked the demise of the reign of the Early
Companions, resulted in the lasting schism between Sunnite and
Shi'ite Islam. Contrary to recent scholarly trends, the author
brings out Ali's early claim to legitimate succession, which gained
support from the Shi'a, and offers a convincing reinterpretation of
early Islamic history. This book will make a major contribution to
the debate over succession. Wilferd Madelung's book The Succession
to Muhammad has been awarded the Best Book of the Year prize by the
Islamic Republic of Iran for the year 1997.
