What did Prophet Muhammad said and what kind of person he was?

What some famous Non-Muslims said about Prophet Muhammad?

Michael H. Hart of USA who wrote "The 100 most influential persons in history" and placed Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of God be upon him) as number one, on the top of the list

"My choice of Muhammad to lead the best of the world's most influential persons may surprise some readers and may be questioned by others, but he was the only man in history who was supremely successful on both the religious and secular levels.




His complete biography has been authenticated and circulated amongst scholars around the world starting while he was still alive and continuing up until today. One of the first examples we quote from is from the Encyclopedia Britannica, as it confirms:


(Regarding Muhammad) "... a mass of detail in the early sources shows that he was an honest and upright man who had gained the respect and loyalty of others who were likewise honest and upright men." [Vol. 12]


Reverend R. Bosworth-Smith wrote in "Mohammed & Mohammedanism" in 1946:

"Head of the state as well as the Church, he was Caesar and Pope in one; but, he was pope without the pope's claims, and Caesar without the legions of Caesar, without a standing army, without a bodyguard, without a palace, without a fixed revenue. If ever any man had the right to say that he ruled by a Right Divine, it was Mohammad, for he had all the power without instruments and without its support. He cared not for dressing of power. The simplicity of his private life was in keeping with his public life."

George Bernard Shaw:

"I believe that if a man like him were to assume the dictatorship of the modern world, he would succeed in solving the problems in a way that would bring the much needed peace and happiness. Europe is beginning to be enamored of the creed of Muhammad. In the next century it may go further in recognizing the utility of that creed in solving its problems." (A Collection of writing of some of the eminent scholars, 1935).




Lamartine's tribute to the Prophet:

"If greatness of purpose, smallness of means and astounding results are the three criteria of human genius, who could claim to compare any great man in modern history with Muhammad?" (Histoire de la Turquie, 1855).




Gandhi:


"I wanted to know the best of one who holds today undisputed sway over the hearts of millions of mankind... I became more than convinced that it was not the sword that won a place for Islam in those days in the scheme of life. It was the rigid simplicity, the utter self-effacement of the Prophet, the scrupulous regard for his pledges, his intense devotion to his friends and followers, his intrepidity, his fearlessness, his absolute trust in God and in his own mission. These and not the sword carried everything before them and surmounted every obstacle. When I closed the 2nd volume (of the Prophet's biography), I was sorry there was not more for me to read of the great life."




English author Thomas Carlyle in his 'Heroes and Hero Worship', was simply amazed:


"How one man single handedly, could weld warring tribes and wandering Bedouins into a most powerful and civilized nation in less than two decades."




EWolfgang Goethe, perhaps the greatest European poet ever, wrote about Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. He said:


"He is a prophet and not a poet and therefore his Quran is to be seen as Divine Law and not as a book of a human being, made for education or entertainment." [Noten und Abhandlungen zum Weststlichen Dvan, WA I, 7, 32]


Muhammad, peace be upon him, was nothing more or less than a human being, but he was a man with a noble mission, which was to unite humanity on the worship of ONE and ONLY ONE GOD and to teach them the way to honest and upright living based on the commands of God. He always described himself as, 'A Servant and Messenger of God' and so indeed every action of his proclaimed to be.

Greatest man that ever set foot on earth, Muhammad(peace be upon him).

And We have not sent you, [O Muhammad], except as a mercy to all mankind (Glorious Qur'an 21:107)

Say: [O Muhammad] The Truth has come from your Lord. Let him who will, believe it, and let him who will, reject it.

(Glorious Qur'an 18: 29)

[theafghandog123]

I think you would find that both Islamic and none Islamic Historians agree with what I've stated. Perhaps you should read some history and try and find out the truth. You should also STOP being an Islamophobic. 1st, 2nd, cold war, three invasions of Iraq, Vietnam, Afghanistan............. were all caused by Muslims, right? Don't let ur hatred of Islam blind you to truth.

[theafghandog123]

I think if you were to read about Muhammed's life, you would find that all his militry expeditions were only in self defence or in anticipation of an attack.

@BJJistheway what bible you have a lot of bibles whcih contradict one each other and in chritianity you will find that christians dont all have the same believes as other christians ex about trinity,jesus being god,i even had a chritian teacher who told me that she does not believe in the bible but believes that jesus is god.now you wont find muslims in this situation because we have one book so why dont you read it and read the translation very well and under stand it and give it consideration

[toresgurlz]

Syukran Thank you! i was walking down the path of darkness.May Allah bless you.

[a2freaky]

@BJJistheway 1-bible was written 500 years after death (people who didn't see Jesus or lived in his era) 2- he is Allah the one and only, Allah the eternal absolute, he beggetteth not, nor he is begotten; and there s none like unto him. 3- God is not anything you can imagine and then jesus is not his son because jesus use to eat, sleep, go to the bathroom, get tired, and so much more like any human being. THINK ABOUT IT

[turkmuslim4ever]

@BJJistheway Dear brother

002.040 O Children of Israel! call to mind the (special) favour which I bestowed upon you, and fulfil your covenant with Me as I fulfil My Covenant with you, and fear none but Me.

002.041 And believe in what I reveal, confirming the revelation(bible) which is with you, and be not the first to reject faith therein, nor sell My Signs for a small price; and fear Me, and Me alone.

002.042 And cover not Truth with falsehood, nor conceal the Truth when ye know (what it is).

@BJJistheway dear friend

he Qur’an says in Surah Ma’idah:

"They do blaspheme who say:

‘Allah is Christ the son

Of Mary.’ But said Christ:

‘O Children of Israel! Worship Allah, my Lord

And your Lord’. Whoever joins other gods with Allah –

Allah will forbid him the Garden, and the Fire

Will be his abode. There will for the wrongdoers

Be no one to help." [Al-Qur’an 5:72]
