Muhammad- Rereading Historical Sources

In a field saturated with inherited narratives and sectarian silences, Muhammad: Rereading Historical Sources dares to do what few have attempted: a rigorous, balanced, and distinctly Shīʿī-informed re-examination of the Prophet Muḥammad’s life through primary historical sources—both Sunni and Shīʿī.

Uniquely positioned at the crossroads of meticulous scholarship and theological integrity, this volume doesn’t merely recount the Prophet’s biography—it reclaims it. By confronting centuries of bias, political erasure, and ideological editing, it offers readers an unprecedented portrait of the Prophet (s) as a spiritual, ethical, and revolutionary figure.

Edited by Mohammadreza al-Khaghani and supported by ICSS, this work stands apart for its accessibility, moderate length, and critical engagement with original source material. It is a must-read for those—Muslim and non-Muslim alike—who seek to understand the historical Prophet beyond polemics, clichés, or apologetics.

This is the first in a groundbreaking series exploring the lives of all Fourteen Infallibles (a)—each volume a step toward reclaiming a sacred legacy lost in the margins of history.

This is not just another biography. This is history re-read with courage.
