The traditional narrative of Muhammad's life identifies him as the author, or original reciter, of the Qur'an. If this is true then the Qur'an would be a document contemporary to his life and could serve as a valuable source of information about the prophet. Unfortunately, however, the Qur'an offers very few details about the author nor much information about the lives of the people in early 7th century Arabia.
