The First Muslim is Lesley Hazleton’s historical account of the Prophet Muhammad and his journey as he began one of the most influential religions in the world.
Summary of the Book
At first glance, he would have seemed ordinary. That is what most people thought about this forty year old merchant. However, his words had the power to claim their attention. Originally dismissed as a young child, not many people realized that Muhammad was going to change the world. He prayed in the Cave of Hira on Mount Jabal al-Nour for several weeks a year. One day, he was blessed with a visitor who changed his destiny. The Angel Gabriel visited Muhammad in the cave, and forced him to recite what would eventually become the Holy Quran. Upon his revelations rested the foundations of Islamic Faith. In this detailed account, Lesley Hazleton reveals the story of the Prophet and examines how one man rose out of poverty and obscurity to become the most powerful man in the Middle East.
