Mohammed and the Rise of Islam

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Since these works were composed, knowledge of Mohammed and his time has been increased by the publication of many Arabic texts, and the labours of European scholars on Mohammedan antiquitiesi The works of I. Goldziher, J. Wellhausen, and Th. N oldeke have elucidated much that was obscure, and facilitated the understanding of Arabian history both before and after the Prophet. And from the follow ing Arabic works, most of which have been published since Sprenger and Muir wrote, many fresh details of interest and even of importance occasionally have been furnished.
