520 _aThis work presents a comprehensive study of the origins, evolution, and establishment of Islam as a major world religion. Walker examines both the historical and doctrinal foundations of Islam, tracing its development from the life of Prophet Muhammad and the revelation of the Qur’an to the expansion of the faith across diverse cultures and regions. Walker portrays Islam not merely as a religion but as a civilization and a worldview that evolved into a global faith with rich spiritual, cultural, and intellectual traditions.
