'''Le Mahomet des historiens''' (''The Muhammad of the Historians'') is a 2025 Edited volume|collective work edited by [[Mohammad Ali Amir-Moezzi]] and [[John Tolan]] and published by Éditions du Cerf. The book is a contribution to the academic study of the [[Prophet Muhammad]] in [[historiography]] and [[Islamic studies]]. Unlike traditional biographical works (''[[Sīra]]''), it does not aim to reconstruct a single narrative of Muhammad's life. Instead, it examines how Muhammad’s figure has been constructed, perceived, and used across different historical, cultural, and religious contexts.
The '''Islamic world''', also known as the '''Muslim world''', consists of the global community of [[Muslims]] who adhere to the religion of [[Islam]] and live in societies where Islam is prevalent (Waldman & Zeghal, 2026). This community is often referred to as the '''''Ummah''''' (Arabic: أمة), meaning "nation" or "community" (Waldman & Zeghal, 2026). In a modern geopolitical sense, the term refers to countries where Islam is widespread, though there are no universally agreed criteria for inclusion (''TheFreeDictionary.com'', n.d.). The alternative term "'''Muslim-majority countries'''" is frequently used to describe nations where Muslims constitute more than 50% of the population (Waldman & Zeghal, 2026).
