Speeches & Table-Talk Of The Prophet Mohammad, The

The aim of this volume is to present all that is most enduring and memorable in the public orations and private sayings of the prophet Mohammad in such a form that the general reader may be tempted to learn a little of what a great man he was and of what made him great. Things are constantly being said, written, and preached about the Arab prophet and the religion he taught, of which an elementary acquaintance with him would show the absurdity. No one would dare to treat the ordinary classics of European literature in this fashion; or, if he did, his exposure would immediately ensue. This book will put the reader in a position to judge popular fallacies about Mohammad and his creed as surely and certainly as he can judge errors in ordinary education and scholarship.
