Twenty-Three Years:
A Study of the Prophetic Career of Mohammad
Ali Dashti
Translated by F.R.C. Bagley
This study of Mohammad’s prophetic career by a modern Iranian thinker will be of
great value to everyone interested in Islam and the Moslem people. Through the use of the
early sources together with psychological and sociological analysis, Ali Dashti brings out
the reality of Mohammad’s greatness, dispels the fog of superstition which has been
built up around him, and discusses problems which are too often left unmentioned.
Dashti will long be remembered for his penetrating studies of Persian classics. In books
on Omar Khayyam, Khaqani, Mowlavi Rumi, Sa‘di, Hafez, and Sa’eb, he picks out
the elements in the works of these classical poets which have enduring value. The studies
of religious matters which he wrote in his later years show the same perspective; chief
among these is Twenty-Three Years. After the revolution of 1979, he was imprisoned and
beaten, suffering serious injury. He died in late 1981 or early 1982.
