The Islamization of Rhetoric

The Islamization of Rhetoric

tandfonline.com

Where applicable, dates are given according to both the traditional Western calendar, divided into BCE and CE, and the Muslim calendar, which begins in the year 622 CE, when The Prophet left Mecca for Medina (a journey referred to as the hijra).
