Abstract

The tradition of Sīrah writing dates back to the time of the Prophet Muḥammad ﷺ and remains a subject of interest among Western writers. Western Sīrah writing is influenced by both the realistic as well as polemic approaches. Among the Western Sīrah writers, Lesley Hazleton holds a distinguished place for her contribution, The First Muslim: The Story of Muhammad. With a background in journalism, psychology and a good hold on Middle Eastern studies, Hazleton portrays the life of Prophet Muḥammad ﷺ in a narrative manner. The work is the psychological interpretation of the events of the life of Muḥammad ﷺ as portrayed by the author. Hazleton attempts to narrate a realistic image of the life and environment of Muḥammad ﷺ. The paper employs historical-analytic and textual analysis to critically examine Lesley Hazleton’s work on Prophet Muḥammad ﷺ. The paper analyses Hazleton’s work, focusing on her narrative approach, psychological interpretation, and use of literary methods. While Hazleton succeeds in portraying a figure often distorted in the West, her secular framing and psychological interpretations contradict Islamic understandings of prophethood, revelation, and divine mission.

Abstract

Abrahamic Religions—Judaism, Christianity, and Islam—are all prophetic religions. These religions share a common lineage of prophets with shared prophets. Prophets are the medium of communication between the divine and humanity. Although the faiths share the same lineage of prophets, starting with Adam, the description of the prophetic institution varies significantly in terms of the prophetic mission, authority, and finality. The paper aims to explore the prophetic mission of the Abrahamic religions, the link connecting them on a common platform, and the differences in the understanding of the prophethood in the three faiths. A systematic comparative framework is needed to explore shared roots and distinctive developments. The paper examines the concept of prophethood in the three faiths. It utilizes primary texts alongside secondary scholarship to identify the similarities and differences in the prophetic mission and its legacy, employing a comparative-theological approach. Judaism holds its roots in the teachings of Moses, Christianity in the teachings and resurrection of Jesus Christ, whereas Islam derives from the life and mission of the Prophet Muhammad. The three religions share a standard list of prophets with significant differences in the concept. It intends to evaluate and draw a comparison of the shared notions and differences between these faiths.
