I created a new notebook titled "Muhammed and Islam" in NotebookLM and got it to search for sources. I converted Karen Armstrong's book "Muhammad" to a PDF and uploaded that as a source and currently there are close to 60 sources. I'll add more later. In the meantime I asked NotebookLM to create an infographic about various caliphates in a timeline format and Figure 1 shows what it came up with.

It looks good but if you look closely there are some misspellings and misletterings but these don't impair comprehension. Notebooks can be used by Gemini and I used this new one to create a slide deck about the caliphate timeline. It did this but it was text-based so I copied this as a document into NotebookLM and, using this as a single source, got it create a more interesting slide deck. When the slide deck is downloaded, it's converted to PDF so it's probably best if I just link to PDF on Google Drive. Here is the link. I've included screenshots of the slides as well.
