William Montgomery Watt
William Montgomery Watt (14 March 1909 – 24 October 2006〔(William Montgomery Watt by Richard Holloway ). ''The Guardian''. 14 November 2006〕) was a Scottish historian, an Emeritus Professor in Arabic and Islamic studies at the University of Edinburgh. Watt was one of the foremost non-Muslim interpreters of Islam in the West, and according to Carole Hillenbrand "an enormously influential scholar in the field of Islamic studies and a much-revered name for many Muslims all over the world". Watt's comprehensive biography of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, ''Muhammad at Mecca'' (1953) and ''Muhammad at Medina'' (1956), are considered to be classics in the field.〔(Professor W. Montgomery Watt by Carole Hillenbrand )〕
