Muhammad as a great revolutionary leader
“The words ‘revolution’ and ‘revolutionary’ have a modern ring to them. Yet they do not seem out of place when applied to Muhammad’s achievement in seventh century Arabia. Muhammad’s career was the classic one of a revolutionary leader.”
The author continues
“In the course of the struggle his ideology had been refined and amplified so that finally the old order was replaced by an entirely new system whose internal dynamism combined with its attractiveness to outsiders, enabled it to impose itself far beyond the particular society to which the original message had been addressed. If that is not a revolution, what is? (Pages 39 - 40)
