One-Page Summary
Mahomet, Founder of Islam is a biographical account of the Prophet Muhammad that presents his life, the religious movement that emerged from his preaching, and the early development of Islam. The book is a product of its own time and interpretive framework, so modern readers should distinguish historical evidence from the author’s descriptions and assumptions. Its value lies partly in seeing how an earlier English-language writer attempted to explain Islam to Western readers. The result is a historical biography that opens onto the larger question of how one life can become the center of a world religion.
