(Herbert Edward Elton) Mohammed, The Prophet of Islam E-text prepared by Michael Ciesielski and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Mohammed, The Prophet of Islam" by Herbert E. E. Hayes is a historical account written in the early 20th century, specifically during the early 1910s. This essay presents a critical examination of the life of Mohammed, the founder of Islam, exploring his character, teachings, and the societal conditions that characterized his era. Hayes aims to provide insights into the implications of Mohammed's actions and ideologies, reflecting on how they have influenced the course of Islamic society. The book delves into Mohammed's early life, his "call" to prophecy, and the subsequent formation of the Islamic community in Medina. It outlines the tumultuous political landscape of Arabia during Mohammed's time, detailing how he transitioned from a merchant to a religious and political leader. Through recounting key events, such as battles and treaties, Hayes illustrates Mohammed's ambitions and strategies, including the controversial justifications he employed for warfare and polygamy. The author critiques aspects of Mohammed's teachings and the religious doctrines that arose from them, considering their impact on the status of women and the treatment of non-Muslims within Islamic society, ultimately questioning the ethical underpinnings of his claims to divine revelation.
