Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to present conflicts in the early years of islam. The novels dedicated to the Prophet Muhammad (L’Homme du Livre by Driss Chraïbi, Loin de Médine by Assia Djebar and Le Silence de Mahomet by Salim Bachi) make multiple voices speak about issues in the first Muslim community. They also express a spiritual fervor in Arabia in the seventh century. The literary analysis of these novels allows to consider the political and spiritual conflicts as a factor ensuring the dynamism of the Arab-Muslim culture.
