Description
The Warrior Prophet is a groundbreaking and scholarly exploration of the military leadership of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Written by renowned historian Professor Joel Hayward, this book examines the Prophet's strategic brilliance, ethical conduct in warfare, and leadership during times of conflict. Based on classical Arabic sources such as al-Tabari and Ibn Hisham, the book moves beyond traditional narratives to offer a balanced, in-depth look at the Prophet as both a spiritual guide and a statesman in a turbulent 7th-century Arabian society.
Hayward brings a military historian's insight to the Seerah, presenting the Prophet as a pragmatic, principled, and visionary leader. With detailed analysis, maps, timelines, and over 1,500 endnotes, this work is a valuable resource for readers interested in Islamic history, leadership, ethics, and strategy.
