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.
