Beyond a shadow of doubt, the biography of Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) manifestedly
represents an exhaustive embodiment of the sublime Divine Message that he communicated in order
to deliver the human race from the swamp of darkness and polytheism to the paradise of light and
monotheism.

An image, authentic as well as comprehensive, of this Message is therefore only
attainable through careful study and profound analysis of both backgrounds and issues of such a
biography.

In view of this, a whole chapter is here introduced about the nature and development of
Arab tribes prior to Islam as well as the circumstantial environment that enwrapped the Prophet’s
mission.
