Muhammad the Man of al-Llah Summary and Analysis

There was an Arab merchant named Muhammad who lived in Mecca in the seventh century. He followed his religion and made the yearly spiritual retreat to a cave in Mount Hira, where he had an experience that would affect Islam and the world. At this time, the al-Llah of Islam was accepted as the one God even though there were no scriptures for the religion or messenger for the religion.
