This book give different perspective about Propeth Muhammad Shallahu Alaihi Wasallam. If Islamic History book that discuss Sirah Nabawi majority tell us about biography of Propeth Muhammad Shallahu Alaihi Wasallam according traditional sources, such as Hadiths ( Islamic Oral Tradition from Propeth Muhammad Shallahu Alaihi Wasallam) and traditional Islamic Chronichle.

Period that discussed at this book so long. From Middle East before Islam (3-5 TH Century) to Umayyad Dynasty at era Abd Malik Ibn Marwan , first Islamic Dynasty at History, circa 697 AD. This book, invited us search valid reconstruction according Koran (Islamic Holy Book), archaeological heritage, until contemporary sources about Islamic History. Writter, Fred Donner argue that at his beginning age, Islam under Propeth Muhammad Shallahu Alaihi Wasallam not a religion, but one movement from Abrahamic Religions that their followers also consist by Arabian Jewishs and Christians. Concisely, Fred Donner considered Islam at his begin of movement only movement from Abrahamic Religion that consist of followers from Propeth Muhammad Shallahu Alaihi Wasallam , Jewishs, and Christians at Arabia. And, according Donner s argument, Koran ( Islamic Holy Book), quoted from several Arabian s old poems. Donner argue, Islam as religion that separated from other Abrahamic Faith, shaped at era of Abd Malik Ibn Marwan.
At his book, Donner used many chronichles from Christian Chronichle from 7 TH Century, when beginning era of Islam, such as scripts from Thomas Presbyter, Sebeos, and others. This book, used different methodology from other Sirah Nabawi s book. And, this book also discuss Islamic Conquest at 7 TH Century, Islamic Civil War , included civil wars that happened at goverment of Ali Ibn Abi Thalib ,Battle Of Jamal (656 AD) and Battle Of Shiffin (657 AD).

Plus value from this book, this book invited us seeing Origin Of Islam though other argument that can add our knowledge about Islamic Historiography. But, this book also has weakness, point of view that written at this book, maybe different with traditional historiography about Sirah Nabawi that trusted by many Muslims. Because this, important for this book s readers for read book about Sirah Nabawi that written by Islamic point of view for make strong basic about Sirah Nabawi such as Sirah Nabawiyah by Shaykh Shafiyyurahman al-Mubarakfuri. This book also not used footnotes. But, writter add blibiography at back of the book. For get this book, your can access several online shop, one of them at this link:
