The Warrior Prophet: Muhammad’s Military Leadership
In this groundbreaking work, Professor Joel Hayward challenges the modern portrayal of Prophet Muhammad as a reluctant warrior or pacifist. Drawing on the earliest Arabic sources, Hayward presents a more historically grounded and strategic view of the Prophet’s relationship with warfare.

Far from avoiding conflict, Muhammad understood the necessity of force in a hostile environment and evolved into a skilled and morally conscious military leader. Through rigorous research, Hayward examines all major raids and campaigns, showing how the Prophet combined strategic vision with ethical conduct to protect his community and achieve lasting change.

Accessible yet deeply scholarly, this book offers fresh insights into Islamic history, leadership, and the nature of war—making it a valuable resource for students, scholars, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of Muhammad’s life and legacy
