This work claims that Musaylima served as a prophet for his own people in Yamama in more or less the same way as the Prophet Mu?ammad in Mecca and Medina. However; unlike Islam; Musaylima’s religious movement did not survive. Here; a complete story of Musaylima – his claim of prophethood; qur’an (reading); religious activities; followers; opponents; and defeat – is reconstructed. A critical reading of the sources that contain the accounts of Musaylima is performed. Additionally; this study reveals that the remaining fragments of Musaylima’s qur’an bear substantial similarities to the early Meccan verses of the Qur’an – in terms of diction; style; and pattern. To formulate the findings of this study; there was more than one prophet in the sixth-seventh century of the Arabian peninsula; as Umayya b. Abi ?alt; Abu ‘Amir; Tulay?a; Saja?; Aswad; and Musaylima claimed prophethood. There was more than one qur’an; as Musaylima also revealed his own qur’an. It is possible that other prophets also did so. There was more than one mosque (masjid); since the followers of Abu ‘Amir established their own; as did those of Abu Qays. So did the followers of Musaylima. There was more than one Abrahamic ?anif monotheistic movement in the ?ijaz and around the region; as some figures assumed the same mission.

9 of 9 people found the following review helpful. a classic of Napoleonic tacticsBy Eduardo J. Tellez AThe First Empire was at its height during the Jena-Auerstadt campaign of 1806. The campaign was a classic of Napoleonic tactics; as Marshal Davout held one German army at bay while Napoleon concentrated his forces to defeat the main one.A complete history of the Napoleonic campaign; featuring alot of magnificent color plates illustrating all of the campaigns; with particular emphasis on the uniforms of the military units and personalities of the Empire.The magnificent color illustrations by Andre Jouineau make this book a extensive use for any modeller or historians; also show with hundreds of additional color sketches of headgear; buttons; equipment; insignia and alternate garments; includes navy; infantry;how widely most armies of the time have different uniforms. Readers of F.-G. Hourtouille's acclaimed BORODINO will find the same extraordinary detail in this study of Napoleon's 1806 campaign.The evolution of the battle is described with the aid of numerous new color maps.144 pages; heavily illustrated in color21 of 23 people found the following review helpful. Uniforms Regimental Colors with Good English DescriptionsBy PPlimpton@MSN.comDescriptions of the battles of Jena Auerstadt are a dime a dozen; and this translation from the original French adds little that is new.This volume does stand out because of the excellent color plates with superb uniform detail that is available nowhere else unless you read German and can afford the mightilly expensive volumes by Kling. The reproduction of not only the uniforms by regiment; but the unit colors as well make this volume unique (Hans Bleckwenn was scheduled to cover this material; but he died before he could complete his study.)The plates of French uniforms are hardly unique; however; they are useful and well done and have the somewhat unique status of being all in one volume (the Elting volumes are excellent; but they do not present a full homogeneous picture of a regiment.)The plates by Jack Girbal are an additional treat.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
