What Great Non-Muslim scholar says about Prophet Muhammed(pbuh)

"I wanted to know the best of one who holds today's 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 this 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. "

Mahatma Gandhi, speaking on the character of Muhammad, (pbuh) says in (Young India)

"If a man like Muhammad were to assume the dictatorship of the modern world, he would succeed in solving its problems that would bring it the much needed peace and happiness."

George Bernard Shaw

“My choice of Muhammad to lead the list of the world's most influential person 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. It is this unparalleled combination of secular and religious influence, which I feel, entitles Muhammad to be considered the most influential single figure in human history."

Extract from the book "The 100 - a Ranking of the Most Influential Person in History" by Michael H. Hart

"Muhammad is the most successful of all Prophets & religious personalities."

Mentioned in Encylopaedia Britannica 

"Muhammad was the soul of kindness, and his influence was felt and never forgotten."

Diwan Chand Sharma, "The Prophets of the East" 

"It is impossible for anyone who studies the life and character of the great Prophet of Arabia, who knew how he taught and how he lived, to feel anything but reverence for that mighty Prophet, one of the great messengers of the Supreme. And although in what I put to you I shall say many things which may be familiar to many, yet I myself feel, whenever I reread them, a new way of admiration, a new sense of reverence for that mighty Arabian teacher."

Article on Prophet Muhammed in TOI

(SADIA DEHLVI, Feb 26, 2010, 12.00am IST)


The birth of a prophet signifies the rebirth of humanity. Prophets lead the way to God and help us discern good from evil. The twelfth of Rabiulawwal, the third month of the Islamic calendar, falls the mawlid, the birth anniversary of Prophet Muhammad whom Allah created as rahmat ul alameen, mercy for all realms and worlds. 

Let’s revisit and reflect on Muhammad’s mission of bringing Islam, that is, peace to the world.

The messages revealed to Muhammad over a span of 23 years constitute the Holy Quran. It addresses nations, communities, families, individuals and humanity as a whole, teaching the path to inner and outer perfection. The Prophet said: “I have come to perfect character” and the Quran praises his conduct. Muhammad breathes life into our souls, pours love into our hearts and guides us to unravel divine mysteries. He taught us to love the One God and emphasised that the path leading to Him consists of kindness, compassion and moderation.

The spirit of Islam is entering into a state of humility before the Lord. Despite all the glories bestowed on him as Habiballah, Beloved of Allah, Muhammad remained in prostration before Him, referring to himself as the slave of Allah.

A state of submission includes recognising those who know and seeking knowledge from them. Prophet Muhammad did not desire the Message, but was chosen for the revelations, which began at the cave of Hira while he was meditating during the month of Ramzan. The first word revealed was the command ‘ Iqra’ – read! “Read in the name of thy Lord and cherisher, who created man, out of a clot of congealed blood: Proclaim! And thy Lord is most bountiful, He who taught the use of the pen; taught man that which he knew not.” Iqra is the basis of human knowledge. In Islamic tradition, man’s primary duty lies in nurturing the intellect to seek the Creator.

Allah has honoured the pen, He swears by it in the Quran, which means ‘The Recital’. It is the last link in a chain of revelations going back to the very origin of man. The Quran declares Prophet Muhammad the Khatam al Ambiya, Seal of Prophecy, and confirms that of all prophets, from Adam to Abraham including Moses and Jesus. Muslim faith is incomplete without believing in the 124,000 Ambiya, prophets who have been sent to earth. The Quran informs that there has never been a time when God did not send Messengers who did not speak the language of the people. If followers of Judaism, Christianity and Islam are at odds, it is not because of the teachings of their founders, but despite these teachings.

The Miraj, Ascension of the Prophet to the Heavens, is a tale of love where God is the lover and the Prophet, the beloved. The lovers of Muhammad believe this union to be the greatest in all of heaven and earth for it carries clues on heavenly secrets. It tells us that the source of creation is pure light, love and goodness. It gives the joyful news that the gulf between the finite and infinite can be bridged. Muhammad returns not with wealth, but light. He returns to the world, but does not seek it and declares: “Poverty is my pride.”

This nocturnal journey forms the foundation for Muslim spiritualists seeking to make this Ascension by annihilating the ego, the i, for in the presence of God, there is no room for more than one ‘I’, that is the ‘I’ of Divinity.

World should try to understand teachings of Prophet: Kushwant Singh

Malappuram: “We should understand Islam and Prophet Muhammed (P.B.U.H) through his teachings and should not try to colour the religion with the paint of terrorism,” said veteran writer Kushwant Singh as he was inaugurating a function organized by Youth of Muslim League at Malappuram Town Hall. 
Islam can said to be the most misunderstood religion in the world. The Christians could bring disgrace to Prophet Muhammed (P.BU.H) and thus to Islam. They are successful in bringing much disbelief to this sacred religion. The attempt to bring disgrace to Islam was started by the Christians when they realized the religion is spreading rapidly at far places.

With the emergence of the new child, terrorism, these people also got evidence for their statements against Islam. They began to use the names like Al Qaeda, Taliban etc. The attack on September 11, 2001 was another mark.



Instead of the religion, it’s Islamophobia, the fear of Islam that spreads in the world now. The enemies are very eager in spreading misconceptions about this religion worldwide. They say Islam is a religion of war with the proof of wars at the time of the Prophet. And that Prophet Muhammed (P.BU.H) is not a supporter of Peace and Equity.



But, let these people understand one thing, that Islam did not force anyone to join its path. The people in Indonesia, Malaysia and all accepted this religion on their own wishes and not on compulsion.



Prophet Muhammed has taught us of Omnipotent Allah, unlike others who have different gods for different purposes. And about women, other people say that Islam considers women as an instrument for enjoyment, because they allow men to marry 4 women at a time. They prove this saying that Prophet had made an example for that. But, they do not understand about the real care of Islam for women, which was hidden somewhere. These women were married by Prophet to help them as they were lonely in this treacherous world.



At last, Kushwant Singh concluded with recommending everyone to read the book  ‘Muhammed: A Prophet for Our Time’ by Karan Armstrong.

All communities come together to Spread the teachings of Prophet's Muhammad (PBUH)

Mumbai: In a unique event, Muslims and Hindus came together on Sunday to take part in the birth anniversary celebrations of Prophet Mohammed and announced the launch of a campaign to spread the message - “Muhammad (PBUH) For All”.

The function was held at the YB Chavan Centre at Nariman Point and was presided over by Ejaz Ahmed Aslam, Secretary of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind. Speakers after speakers – comprising religious scholars and intellectuals highlighted the saying of the Prophet and condemned terrorism. Mr.Ram Puniyani, Prof, IIT Mumbai and Ms.Pratima Joshi were the other prominent speakers who lend their support for the campaign.

Prof.Ram Puniyani, Professor, IIT, Mumbai praised the teaching of prophet Muhammad(PBUH) and clarified Islam is the total surrender of people towards Allah for peace. The tension between Hindu and Muslims are not because of Religion but because of Politics.

The Jamaat-e-Islami Hind-Maharashtra also launched “Muhammad for All”, a state-wide campaign to introduce the last Prophet of Allah and reject the belief that he is for the Muslims only. The campaign would be from February 17-28.

Jamaat has set up several groups consisting of the leading Muslim and Non Muslim personalities, Activists, Intellectuals and Social Organizations of Maharashtra who will travel across and will reach out to its targeted 2 crore people with the message.

Jamaat will specifically target the social evils like social injustice, female feticide, dowry; child labour, liquor, corruption, human rights violation, terrorism, violence etc.

Nazar Mohammed Madu, President of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind, Maharashtra said: “India is a plural society and we like to request our brothers and sisters to please try and understand Islam also.” He further explains the campaign, “this is the first time that not only the Ulemas of different sects like Jamiat-e-Ulema, Jamiat-e-Ahle hadis, Ulema Council, and Shia but our brothers from Bamcef and Maratha Samaj, Satya Shodhak Samaj, and others are the co-organizers of this campaign.”

Mr.Purshottam Khedekar, President of Maratha Sewa Sangh, said, “Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) has come with the Message of Universal Brotherhood, Peace and equality, which is infinite in nature and should be implemented. It’s wrong to confine his Personality to Muslims only. It’s the people who see great personalities for the some set of people. It’s him who wanted to unite and integrate human beings. He appealed for the better society and good governance. He fought with the people who fought with him.”

Prof.Ram Puniyani, IIT Mumbai said, “Muhammad PBUH has taught about Peace and Justice but maliciously Islam is related to Terrorism now days. He always preached against the violence and taught universal brotherhood.

Mr.B.N Hirdekar, Examiner Shivaji University, Kolhapur, said: “It’s very surprising to see 1400 Years old Teaching of Muhammad PBUH is very relevant today. Like he shuns casteism, exploitation in the name of region, religion, gender and taught Universal brotherhood. He also taught about Kids right which was only brought to us in the year 1969. He routed out Slavery when it was a routine.”
