In this paper, the writers have collected Max Weber's views on the worldly approach of Islam from his book Sociology of Religion and presented as a coherent discussion. The writers have then discussed the arguments Weber has put forward to prove his point and criticized Weber's theory and his personality as a critic. As far as his theory is concerned, the writers have tried to provide answers to three questions: 1. Did the Prophet have the typical characteristics of a charismatic leader? 2. Were the followers of the Prophet Bedouin warriors? 3. Was the Prophet influenced by his followers of did he influence them? As for Webers' personality as a critic, the writers have answered the following questions: 1. Has Weber used authentic sources in collecting his data? 2. Has Weber used a single approach in his treatment of the concepts he has used?
Keywords: Weber, charisma, Bedouin warriors, early Islam
