Deep in the heart of seventh-century Arabia, a new
prophet named Muhammad has arisen. As his message of
enlightenment sweeps through Arabia and unifies the warring
tribes, his young wife Aisha recounts Muhammad's astonishing
transformation from prophet to warrior to statesman. But
just after the moment of her husband's greatest triumph --
the conquest of the holy city of Mecca -- Muhammad falls ill
and dies in Aisha's arms. A young widow, Aisha finds herself
at the center of the new Muslim empire and becomes by turns
a teacher, political leader, and warrior. Written in
beautiful prose and meticulously researched, Mother of
the Believer is the story of an extraordinary woman who
was destined to help usher Islam into the world.
