Description: Through analysis of the Covenants of the Prophet Mu ammad which pledge protection to diverse faith communities this book makes a profoundly important contribution to research on early Islam by determining the Covenants historicity and textual accuracy. The authors focus on the Prophet Mu ammad's relationship with other faith communities by conducting detailed textual and linguistic analysis of documents which have received little scholarly consideration before. This not only includes decrees of the Prophet Mu ammad Umar ibn al - Kha b Al ibn Ab lib and Mu wiya ibn Ab Sufy n but also of important Muslim rulers. They present their findings in relation to contemporaneous historical writings historic testimonies official recognition archaeological evidence historic scribal conventions date - matching calculations textual parallelisms and references in Muslim and non - Muslim sources. They also provide new and revised translations of various Covenants issued by the Prophet Mu ammad which were attested by Muslim authorities after him. The authors argue that the claim of forgery is no longer tenable following the application of rigorous textual and historical analysis. This book is essential reading for Muslims Christians Jews Samaritans and Zoroastrians as well as anyone interested in interfaith relations Islamophobia extremist ideologies security studies and the relationship between Orthodox and Oriental Christianity with Islam.
