Translator: Translator
Description: Amaal Muhammad Al-Roubi’s book is a critical response to Patricia Crone’s Meccan Trade and the Rise of Islam. Al-Roubi meticulously addresses what she views as significant inaccuracies and deliberate misinterpretations in Crone’s work, especially regarding Mecca’s historical location, Quraysh's role in trade, and the events surrounding Prophet Muhammad's mission. By exposing the flaws in Crone’s assumptions and the selective use of evidence, Al-Roubi aims to defend the authenticity of Islamic history against orientalist distortions, offering a detailed scholarly rebuttal grounded in Islamic sources and historical research.
