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."


Annie Besant in "The Life and Teachings of Mohammad"
