London : Abacus, 2006. xvi, 415 p. : ill., maps ; 20 cm. Includes bibliographical references and index. Summary: "The Heirs of the Prophet Muhammad is a saga of ambition, achievement, self-sacrificing nobility and blood rivalry, and it also sheds light on some of the complexities of our modern world. For within this fifty-year span of conquest and empire-building, Barnaby Rogerson identifies the seeds of discord that destroyed the unity of Islam, and traces the roots of the schism between Sunni and Shia Muslims to the rivalry of the two people who best knew and loved the Prophet: his cousin and son-in-law Ali, and his wife Aisha." "The Heirs of the Prophet Muhammad recounts the lives of the handful of individuals - the first four Caliphs, the Prophet's widows and the conquering generals - who led and influenced Islam after the death of Muhammad. Their achievements are chronicled, but so too are the conflicting ambitions that led to civil war. So that although an empire was forged, in the process Muhammad's own family would be disinherited, his grandson murdered, the revered temple of God at Mecca, the Kaaba, burned to the ground, and the first copy of the Koran stained with the blood of a Caliph."--Jacket. ʻĀʼishah, ca. 614-678. 2635 ʻAlī ibn Abī Ṭālib, Caliph, ca. 600-661. 2636 Islam History. 2637 Shīʻah Relations Sunnites. 2638 Sunnites Relations Shīʻah. 2639 0 ibc copycat 2 ncip 20 y-gencatlg lcc BOOK BP 55 .R64 2006 749 749 0 0 lcc 0 0 Books AUA.1 AUA.1 GS 2011-08-16 Bought by JTL 17.96 AUA000910 1 BP 55 .R64 2006 AUA000910 2013-03-18 00:00:00 2013-03-13 17.96 2011-08-16 BOOK 0 0 lcc 0 0 Books AUA.1 AUA.1 GS 2011-08-16 Bought by JTL 17.96 AUA000909 0 BP 55 .R64 2006 AUA000909 2011-08-16 00:00:00 2 17.96 2011-08-16 BOOK 0 0 lcc 0 0 Books AUA.1 AUA.1 GS 2011-08-16 Bought by JTL 17.96 AUA000919 1 BP 55 .R64 2006 AUA000919 2017-07-17 00:00:00 2017-06-29 3 17.96 2011-08-16 BOOK
