Book Description:

Islam, as a faith and as a political power, rose to world dominance in an astoundingly brief timespan--little more than one hundred years. From the fascinating events of Muhammad's life to the founding of a vast empire, the rise of Islam is the story of a people, a vibrant culture, and the growth of a civilization. Without Islam's contributions, it is doubtful that Western civilization could have developed as it did.
