In \u003ci\u003eThe First Muslim\u003c\/i\u003e, Lesley Hazleton brings him vibrantly to life. Drawing on early eyewitness sources and on history, politics, religion, and psychology, she renders him as a man in full, in all his complexity and vitality. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Hazleton's account follows the arc of Muhammad's rise from powerlessness to power, from anonymity to renown, from insignificance to lasting significance. How did a child shunted to the margins end up revolutionizing his world? How did a merchant come to challenge the established order with a new vision of social justice? How did the pariah hounded out of Mecca turn exile into a new and victorious beginning? How did the outsider become the ultimate insider? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Impeccably researched and thrillingly readable, Hazleton's narrative creates vivid insight into a man navigating between idealism and pragmatism, faith and politics, nonviolence and violence, rejection and acclaim. \u003ci\u003eThe First Muslim \u003c\/i\u003eilluminates not only an immensely significant figure but his lastingly relevant legacy.","brand":"Riverhead Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45355408556183,"sku":"9781594632303","price":899.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781594632303.webp?v=1767670805","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-first-muslim-the-story-of-muhammad-9781594632303","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
