The Life of Muhammad

What do we know about the life of the prophet Muhammad, the founder of one of the three world religions – Islam? How long ago did he live? How far is his homeland from us? Vera Panova and Yuri Vahtin created an artistic biography of one of the key figures in human history, who through preaching united people around him and then created a state that laid the foundation for the Arab Caliphate. How did the Prophet perceive his gift and role as a spiritual leader during different periods of his life? How did he relate to friends, companions, enemies, and offenders? In portraying his image, the authors referred to both the Quran and Muslim traditions.
