This comprehensive and deeply researched book delves into the lives and beliefs of the Prophet Muhammad and his close companions, providing a fresh and nuanced perspective on the origins and evolution of Islamic civilization.

Through vivid storytelling and meticulous research, Glass paints a vibrant and intimate portrait of Medina, the city that served as the cradle of Islam.

The third part, "The Inheritance," examines the legacy of the Prophet Muhammad and the continuing evolution of Islam throughout history. Glass traces the spread of Islam across the globe, the emergence of different sects and schools of thought, and the influence of Islam on art, culture, and science.
