Many are those who wrote about the life of the Messenger of God and analyzed it. They presented as an exemplar of human greatness, insisting on giving people to understand that his conquests were nothing more than a revolution of the economic

Left against an extremist Right and deluding them into believing that the ulterior motive which led the Messenger of God to do what he did was his desire to transfer sovereignty from the hands of non-Arabs to those of the Arabs.

The weaving of fabricated conceptions, however, proved to be incapable of turning truth into falsehood. Hence, the clouds blown in by such writings have dissipated and the bright truth has broken through once again.
