Audio Books →The Life and Legacy of Muhammad (Audiobook)

He was a charismatic individual, born of the existing culture of sixth-century Arabia and yet somehow alienated from it. He drew on existing religious ideas in radically new ways that would change his world - and ours - forever.
Join Maria Dakake of George Mason University for a riveting exploration of Islam's founding prophet. The Life and Legacy of Muhammad leads you through the earliest historical accounts of the prophet's life and personality. Along the way, you'll examine struggles over Muhammad's legacy in the centuries since his death. You'll also examine the ways Muslims have understood the meaning of Muhammad in their religious lives and the ongoing debates among scholars and Muslims over his life, example, and teaching.
