✦ Synopsis

Based on historical fact and legends, this fictionalized account of the life of Muhammad was nominated for the prestigious Prix Goncourt Before becoming the Prophet of Islam, Muhammad was a simple man of flesh and blood who started life as a poor or-phan in the Arabian city of Mecca. Through his union with his first wife Khadija, he became a prosperous merchant and caravaneer. He was visited by God at the age of 40 to become a proph-et and visionary statesman. In an attempt to allow Muslims and non-Muslims alike the chance to form their own opinion of the Prophet Muhammad, Salim Bachi presents the fictionalized story of this exceptional man told by four key characters--his first wife, Khadija; his closest friend, Caliph Abu Bakr; the fiery warrior, General Khalid; and his last love Aisha, who became his wife at the age of nine.
