Muhammad. The Life Path and Spiritual Quest of the Founder of Islam. 571—632

The pages of this book are dedicated to the founder of Islam, the creator of the Islamic state — the prophet Muhammad. The author begins the narration with a description of the time preceding the birth of Islam, the tribes that inhabited the Arabian Desert, the harsh conditions of their lives, dictating equally harsh laws of existence, forcing some nomads to leave their homeland. Essad Bey examines the prerequisites for the emergence of a new religion, tells about barbaric Mecca, a rich, vibrant city in the desert, where Muhammad, the great prophet of Allah, was born, about his life, how he believed in his mission, the struggle he fought for the creation of the Arab world, about the culture and traditions of this world.
