Sinopsis
The Prophet Muhammad taught the word of God to the Arabs. Within a generation of his death, his followers - as vivid a cast of heroic individuals as history has known - had exploded out of Arabia to confront the two great superpowers of the seventh-century and establish Islam and a new civilization. That the protagonists originated from the small oasis communities of central Arabia gives their adventures, their rivalries, their loves and their achievements an additional vivacity and intimacy. So that on one hand, THE HEIRS OF THE PROPHET MUHAMMAD is a swaggering saga of ambition, immense achievement, self-sacrificing nobility and blood rivalry, while on the other it allows us to understand some of the complexities of our modern world. For within this fifty-year span of conquest and empire- building, Barnaby Rogerson also identifies the seeds of discord that destroyed the unity of Islam, and traces the roots of the schism between Sunni and Shia Muslims to the rivalry of the two individuals who best knew and loved the Prophet: his cousin and son-in-law Ali and his wife Aisha.

Within a generation of his death in the mid~seventh century, his followers ~ as vivid a cast of heroic individuals as history has known ~ had exploded out of Arabia to establish an Islamic empire and a new civilization. The Heirs of the Prophet Muhammad is a swaggering saga of ambition, achievement, self~sacrificing nobility and blood rivalry, and it also sheds light on some of the complexities of our modern world. For within this fifty~year span of conquest and empire~building, Barnaby Rogerson identifies the seeds of discord that destroyed the unity of Islam, and traces the roots of the schism between Sunni and Shia Muslims to the rivalry of the two people who best knew and loved the Prophet: his cousin and son~in~law Ali, and his wife Aisha. The Heirs of the Prophet Muhammad recounts the lives of the handful of individuals ~ the first four Caliphs, the Prophet's widows and the conquering generals ~ who led and influenced Islam after the death of Muhammad. Their dazzling achievements are thrillingly chronicled, but so too are the conflicting ambitions that led to civil war. So that although an empire was forged, in the process Muhammad's own family would be disinherited, his grandson murdered, the revered temple of God at Mecca, the Kaaba, burned to the ground, and the first copy of the Koran stained with the blood of a Caliph. Concluding the masterly account of the history of Islam begun with The Prophet Muhammad, Barnaby Rogerson has done justice to one of our few truly epic stories. Nº de ref. del artículo: 8131505
