Starting with the Prophet, of course, but, after his death, great figures would promote the spread of the new religion and contribute to its evolution. In this book written for a broad public, Malek Chebel offers his own selection of men and women who counted and who still count, thereby providing an original history of Islam.
Monographs about the great men of the past are a very popular literary form in the Arab world. On the pretext of telling of alliances and relations, these narratives of wars, commercial negotiations, and past enmities have played a social role in this civilization of nomad origin. With a nod to this tradition, Malek Chebel presents some of the great figures of Islam in this work. Starting with the Prophet and his entourage (in particular the women close to him), he tells of the Caliphs who succeeded Mohammed after his death. Islam evolved over the centuries in contact with other cultures, via Persia, India, Spain or Turkey, notably, for example, with Ataturk, whose radical reforms would resituate Islam in the modern world. The religion formally developed as well with the creativity of its sages and scholars, its philosophers and mystics, the writings of its travellers and explorers (Ibn Khaldun and Ibn Battuta), and its builders, like Nizam al-Moulk, Islam's Vauban, who gave us Istanbul's most magnificent mosques. In this book, we find many personalities whose names are familiar to us, like Jean-Léon the African and Ibn Rushd, as well as those little known outside the Muslim world, like the late Egyptian diva Oum Kalsoum.
