In \u003cem\u003eProphecy and Power\u003c\/em\u003e, he explores the nature of political power in Islam by focusing on the figure of the prophet Mohammed as both a political and mythical leader.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn conversation with Houria Abdelouahed, Adonis examines the Qur’anic intervention in establishing the prophet’s power, especially when the text is read based on faith and not reason. The authors discuss the historical developments before and after the prophet’s death, which established the power of the Caliph or the leader as absolute.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe second part of the book examines the consequences of these developments in the Arab and Islamic world today, where this ‘tyrannical’ understanding of power continues to hold sway.
