The history of Islam is believed by most historians [1] to have originated with Muhammad's mission in Mecca and Medina at the start of the 7th century CE, [2] [3] although Muslims regard this time as a return to the original faith passed down by the Abrahamic prophets, such as Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Solomon, and Jesus, with the submission (Islām) to the will of God.
Following the agreement Israel and Egypt became the two largest recipients of US military and financial aid [343] (Iraq and Afghanistan have now overtaken them). In December 1978 the Israeli Merkava battle tank entered use with the IDF. In 1979, over 40,000 Iranian Jews migrated to Israel, escaping the Islamic Revolution there.
The book has been influential in Islamic scholarly circles and among those interested in Middle Eastern politics. It has been praised for its in-depth analysis and comprehensive approach to a complex issue. However, it has also faced criticism from those who view it as biased against Zionism and the state of Israel. [2] [3] [4]
