In \"The First Muslim,\" Lesley Hazleton brings him vibrantly to life. Drawing on early eyewitness sources and on history, politics, religion, and psychology, she renders him as a man in full, in all his complexity and vitality. \u003cbr\u003e Hazleton s account follows the arc of Muhammad s rise from powerlessness to power, from anonymity to renown, from insignificance to lasting significance. How did a child shunted to the margins end up revolutionizing his world? How did a merchant come to challenge the established order with a new vision of social justice? How did the pariah hounded out of Mecca turn exile into a new and victorious beginning? How did the outsider become the ultimate insider?\u003cbr\u003e Impeccably researched and thrillingly readable, Hazleton s narrative creates vivid insight into a man navigating between idealism and pragmatism, faith and politics, nonviolence and violence, rejection and acclaim. \"The First Muslim \"illuminates not only an immensely significant figure but his lastingly relevant legacy.\"\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Riverhead Books","offers":[{"title":"First Muslim: The Story of Muhammad | Lesley Hazleton | Hardcover | 9781594487286 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks E 1765970","offer_id":49376683950232,"sku":"1765970","price":11.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71Ch-tiBcbL.jpg?v=1783015671","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/first-muslim-the-story-of-muhammad","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
