Summary: "The Days of Mohammed" by Anna May Wilson is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The narrative focuses on Yusuf, a Guebre priest disillusioned with the religious practices of his people, who embarks on a quest for truth and divine connection. Throughout his journey from Persia to Arabia, Yusuf encounters various characters and contemplates the nature of God, sacrifice, and spirituality against the backdrop of Mohammed's emergence as a prophet. At the start of the book, we find Yusuf filled with doubt and a longing for a more profound understanding of God, feeling disgusted by the human sacrifice he was compelled to perform in his previous role as a priest. After abandoning his priestly garb, he begins his journey toward Mecca, guided by a desire to discover the truth. Along the way, he faces the harsh realities of the desert, meets Bedouins who offer him hospitality, and engages in conversations with fellow seekers of truth, including the enigmatic prophet Mohammed himself. These initial chapters set the tone for a spiritual exploration as Yusuf grapples with his beliefs and the conflicting ideologies of those he meets, setting the stage for a rich narrative that seeks to illuminate the path toward genuine faith and understanding.
