Highlights the actions and interpersonal relations of Muhammad in Makkah and Madinah before Islam took root, when it was a minority faith. By focusing upon the period when Islam was a minority faith in Makkah, he draws out the most pertinent messages in the revelations received, and how they can be applied to Muslim minorities.Extremely useful book to establish a historical perspective of Islam as a 'state religion', focusing on the early history of Islam when, during rapid expansion, Muslims were often the minority in countries it emerged into. And how soon after, having gained such power throughout the world, the discourse of Islam changed, becoming a source of political grandeur for Muslim writers and historians.
