Opis

Were Muslim believers motivated by religious zeal to proclaim Islam to the non-Muslims? Consequently, was Islam spread by the sword? This is a question that has crucial implications today. The Stated Motivations for the Early Islamic Expansion extensively analyzes the earliest Arabic Muslim sources to answer these and other questions.
