To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Mohammed (or better Muhammad, " the praised one " or " blessed ") ap- pears to be an epithet given to him. His father's name was Abdallah (servant of Allah), though the second ele- ment may have been a substitute for the name of some Arab god; and his mother is said to have been Amina (" the faithful one "). At a tender age Mohammed was left an orphan, the care of whom devolved first on his grandfather, Abd el-Muttalib, and after the death of the latter upon his maternal uncle, Abu Talib. Of hi...s early years we know nothing till as a young man he entered the services of a rich widow, Khadijah, and as her agent en- tered upon mercantile pursuits. He subsequently mar- ried the widow, though she was considerably older, and had a large family three sons and four daughters. The sons appear to have died before reaching manhood. We next hear of him as a preacher, exhorting the people of Mecca to cast aside the traditional worship of gods and to recognize Allah alone as the one god of the universe.
