Description

Deep in the heart of seventh-century Arabia, a new prophet named Muhammad has arisen. As his message of enlightenment sweeps through Arabia and unifies the warring tribes, his young wife Aisha recounts Muhammad's astonishing transformation from prophet to warrior to statesman. But just after the moment of her husband's greatest triumph -- the conquest of the holy city of Mecca -- Muhammad falls ill and dies in Aisha's arms. A young widow, Aisha finds herself at the center of the new Muslim empire and becomes by turns a teacher, political leader, and warrior.

Written in beautiful prose and meticulously researched, Mother of the Believer is the story of an extraordinary woman who was destined to help usher Islam into the world.

3.8 Oh my. I am so shocked and confused and sad that I don't even know what I feel. This is soooo sad. When I started reading this book, I thought it was nonfiction, but then I found out that it is actually fiction based on the hadeeth. It is so long, but soooo sad. It is a powerful book. However, I don't think it should ever be used to guide our behaviour as Muslims, but to get a general sense of the historical events, it is a good book. I wouldn't recommend this to someone who doesn't like death because the main point of the book is that everyone is human. Thus, everyone dies. I am so confused because I don't know if I love the book or hate the book. However, the author question ls and answers section puts many things into perspective. One thing that I loved most is that it is clear it the last there were no sunnis, Shias, etc, they were all just purely Muslims.
