There aren't any. AFAIK, contemporary historians does not exist in this case.

Are you serious? The only knoweledge I have of Prophet Mohamed's (PBUH) life is a chapter I have in a book called "Anbya2 Allah" (God's Prophets). I also would like to know about his wives.

It is really sad if you are right.

The stories about Muhammad's wives were made up centuries after their departure. They contain great material for fiction writers. There you will find Aisha's fight with Abu Hurayra... There you will find Muhammad having sexual discourse with nine of his wive's, all in one night (the editors of those stories did not consider the reporter a voyeur owl nor a congenial liar). There you will find Muhammad marrying a 6 year-old girl who was 48 years younger than him, thereby setting an excellent role model for brides, grooms and their parents. There you will learn that the same Muhammad considered woman in the level of pigs and donkeys. In short, you will learn plenty of wisdom from those "good boks," my dear friend.

Well, let me recommend you a "good book" The Black Swan, by Nassim Nicholas Taleb. Please share your comments with us after reading the book.

Peace,

Hi Edip

Thanks for replying. The weird stuff that you mentioned is probably why I was looking for a book in the first place. I want to know the truth both for myself and so that I can answer questions from non-Muslims who ask me why the Prophet married so many women. I need some answers.

I will try and get my hands on that book.

Thank you
