MUHAMMAD is the most successful of all Prophets and

religious personalities."

since 1936.

 I have always held the religion of MUHAMMAD in high

estimation because of its wonderful vitality. It is the only
religion, which appears to me to possess an assimilating
capacity to the changing phase of existence, which can
itself be acceptable to every age.
 GEORGE BERNARD SHAW

 I have studied him - the wonderful man and (in my

opinion from being an anti-Christ), he must be called
the Savior (‫ منقذ‬- ‫)مخلص‬of Humanity.“‫من وجهة نظر‬
‫مسيحية محمد هو المخلص والمنقذ وليس عيسى‬.

 "I believe that if a man like him were to assume the

dictatorship of the modern world he would succeed
in solving its problems in a way that would bring it
the much needed peace and happiness.
 GEORGE BERNARD SHAW

 I have prophesied(‫ ) تكهن –تنبـأ‬about the faith of

MUHAMMAD that it would be acceptable to the Europe of
tomorrow as it is beginning to be acceptable to the Europe
of today.” The number of Muslims is always increasing in
Europe.

 If any religion had the chance of ruling over England, nay

Europe within the next hundred years, it could be Islam.

 He was by far the most remarkable man that ever set
foot on this earth.

 He preached(‫ يعظ‬-‫ )يبشر‬a religion, founded a state,

built a nation, laid down a moral(‫ )سلوك أخلقى‬code,
initiated numerous social and political reforms(‫)أصــلح‬

 He established a powerful and dynamic society to

practice and represent his teachings and
completely revolutionized the worlds of human thought
and behavior for all times till now.

Yes, he was Prophet MUHAMMAD (pbuh)

His Mission Impossible

He was born in Arabia in the year 570, started his

mission of preaching (‫ )يبشر‬the religion of Truth,
Islam (submission to One God) at the age of forty
and departed from this world at the age of sixty-three.

During this short period (23 years) of his Prophet

-hood, he changed the complete Arabian peninsula.
 His Mission Impossible
 From paganism(– ‫ )عبادة الوثان‬and idolatry( ‫ )الوثنية‬to
SUBMISSION to the One True God,

 From tribal quarrels and wars to national solidarity(- ‫التضامن‬

‫ )التماسك‬and cohesion,

 From drunkenness(‫ )مخمورين – شاربى خمور‬and

debauchery(‫ )الفسوق –سوء الخلق‬to sobriety (‫ رصانة‬- ‫)رزانة‬and
piety(‫) تقوى – ورع‬,

 From lawlessness and anarchy(‫ فوضى‬-‫ )فقدان الحكمة‬to

disciplined living,

 From utter bankruptcy(‫ )تداول الفلس‬to the highest standards of

moral excellence.
His Mission Impossible

Human history has never known such a complete

transformation of a society or a place before or since
himself alone ( Muhammad PBUH) or in the future.

 LAMAR TINE,
The renowned historian, speaking on the essentials of
human greatness wonders:

“The greatness of purpose, smallness of

means and astounding(‫ )مذهلة‬results are the
three criteria of human genius(‫)عبقرى‬. Who
could dare to compare any great man in
modern history than MOHAMMAD?
 LAMAR TINE,

The most famous men created arms, laws and empires

only. They founded, if anything at all, no more than
material powers(‫ )قوة مادية‬which often crumbled(-‫تنهار‬
‫ )تتحطم‬away before their eyes.

This man moved not only armies, legislation(‫)التشريع‬,

empires, peoples and dynasties(‫)سللة حاكمة‬, but
millions of men in one-third of the then inhabited world;
and more than that, he removed the altars(‫)مذابح الكنيسة‬,
the gods, the religions, the ideas, the beliefs and souls....
 LAMAR TINE,

His forbearance(‫ الصبر‬- ‫ )الجلد‬in victory, his

ambition(‫)الطموح‬, which was entirely devoted to one
idea and in no manner striving(‫ يثابر‬-‫ )يبذل كل جهده‬for
an empire; His endless prayers, his mystic(‫)روحــانى‬
conversations with ALLAH, his death and his
triumph(‫ )أنتصار عسكرى يسود‬after death; all these
attest(‫ يؤكد‬- ‫ )يصادق‬not to an imposture(‫ خداع‬- ‫)دجل‬
but to a firm conviction(‫ )عقيدة‬which gave him the
power to restore a dogma(‫مبدأ معتقد من يتبعه من‬

dogmas(‫)عقائد‬, of a cult(‫ )عبادة‬without images, the
founder of twenty terrestrial(‫ )برى – أرضـى‬empires and

As regards all the standards by which Human
Greatness may be measured, we may well ask,
IS THERE ANY MAN GREATER THAN HE ?"

The world has had its share of great personalities.

But these were one-sided figures who

distinguished themselves in but one or two fields,
such as religious thought or military leadership.

The lives and teachings of these great

personalities of the world are shrouded(- ‫تحجب‬
‫ )تكفن‬in the mist(‫ )ضــباب‬of time.
. There is so much speculation(‫ تفكر‬- ‫ )تأمل‬about the
time and place of their birth, the mode and style of
their life, the nature and detail of their teachings
and the degree and measure of their success or
failure that it is impossible for humanity to
reconstruct accurately the lives and teachings of
that man (MUHAMMAD, PBUH).
 PROFESSOR HURGRONJE,

“The league( ‫) تحالف‬of nations founded by the prophet

of Islam put the principle of international unity and
human brotherhood on such universal foundations as
to show candle to other nations.“ He continues: "The
fact is that no nation of the world can show a parallel
to what Islam has done towards the realization of the
idea of the League(‫)تحالف‬of Nations."

“I Believe In One God (ALLAH) & MUHAMMAD, An Apostle

in his book
HEROES AND HEROWORSHIP

"The lies done (Western slander ‫)الفثراءات الغربية‬

which well-meaning zeal (‫ )حماس‬has heaped(- ‫مكوم‬
‫ )مكدس‬round this man (MUHAMMED) are
disgraceful(‫ شائن‬- ‫ )مغزى‬to ourselves only…How one
man single-handedly, could weld warring tribes and
wandering Bedouins into a most powerful and civilized
nation in less than two decades….A silent great soul,
one of that who cannot but be earnest (‫جاد – غير‬
‫)هازل‬. He was to kindle the world, the world’s Maker
had ordered so."
Nothing more than a human being

MUHAMMAD (pbuh) 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
submission to ONE and ONLY GOD and to teach
them the way to become ideal and upright living
based on the commands of God (ALLAH).

He described himself many times as, 'A Servant &

Messenger of God,' and so indeed all actions of his
proclaimed ( ‫يعلن‬- ‫ )يصرح‬was.
 Nothing more than a human being

The world has not hesitated to raise to divinity(‫)اللوهــبة‬, individuals

whose lives and missions have been lost in legend (‫)أسطورة‬.

Historically speaking, none of these legends achieved even a

fraction of what MUHAMMAD (pbuh) accomplished. All his striving
(‫ جهاد‬- ‫)كفاح‬was for the sole purpose of uniting mankind for the
worship (‫ العبادة‬-‫ )السجود‬to One God (ALLAH) on the codes of moral
excellence.
 Nothing more than a human being
MUHAMMAD (peace be up on him) accomplished so much
in such diverse fields of human thought and behavior in the
fullest blaze(‫ ) ناصع‬of human history.

Every detail of his private life and public utterances(‫)تعبير‬

has been accurately documented and faithfully preserved to
our day.

The authenticities of the record so preserved are

vouched(‫ كفل‬- ‫ )ضمن‬for not only by the faithful followers
but also even by his prejudiced critics(‫)النقاد المجحفين‬.
 MAHATMA GANDHI,
says in ‘Young India’..

"I wanted to know the best of one who holds today's undisputed (‫ )غير متنازع عليه‬sway (‫)نفوذ‬over 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 utter (‫ )مطلق‬rigid simplicity of the Prophet , the respect regard for ledges(-‫تعهدات‬
‫)أرتباطات‬, his intrepidity(‫ جسور‬- ‫)بسالة‬, his fearlessness and his absolute trust in God & in his own mission.”
 SAROJINI NAIDU, the
famous Indian poetess says
since 1918…

"It was the first religion that preached and

practiced democracy; for, in the mosque, when the
call for prayer is sounded and worshippers are
gathered together, the democracy of Islam is
embodied(‫ يجسد‬- ‫ )يشمل‬five times a day when the
peasant(‫ قروى‬- ‫ )فلح‬and king kneel(‫ )يركع‬side by
side and proclaim(‫)يعلن‬: 'God Alone is Great'...

(S.NAIDU, IDEALS OF ISLAM, VIDE SPEECHES & WRITINGS, MADRAS, 1918)

 ANNIE BESANT
in The Life & Teaching of
MUHAMMAD says
"It is impossible for anyone who studies the life &
character of the great Prophet of Arabia, …., to feel
anything but
reverence(‫ )الوقار‬for that mighty (‫)قوى‬Prophet, one of the
great messengers of the Supreme. Although in what I
put to you I shall say many things which may be familiar
to many, yet I myself feel whenever I re-read them, a new
way of admiration(‫)أعجاب‬, a new sense of reverence for
that mighty Arabian teacher."
Today after a lapse of fourteen centuries, the
life and teachings of MUHAMMAD (pbuh) have
survived without the slightest loss, alteration or
interpolation. They offer the same undying
hope for treating mankind's many ills, which
they did when he was alive.

This is not a claim of MUHAMMAD’S (pbuh)

followers but also the inescapable conclusion
forced upon by a critical and unbiased history.
MUHAMMAD (pbuh) was a teacher, a social
reformer, a moral guide, an administrative
colossus(‫)عملق‬, a faithful friend, a wonderful
companion, a devoted husband, a loving father -
all in one.

No other man in history ever excelled or equaled

him in any of these different aspects of life - but it
was only for the selfless personality of
MUHAMMAD (pbuh) to achieve such incredible
perfections.
 LANE-POOLE
in 'Speeches and Table Talk of
the Prophet’

He was the most faithful protector of those he protected,

the sweetest and most agreeable in conversation. Those
who saw him were suddenly filled with reverence; those
who came near him loved him; they who described him
would say, "I have never seen his like either before or
after." He was of great taciturnity(‫)صموت‬, but when he
spoke it was with emphasis and deliberation(‫)تروى‬, and
no one could forget what he said...
 WASHINGTON IRVING,

His military triumphs awakened no pride(‫ )كبرياء‬nor

vain(‫ )باطل‬glory as they would have done. They
had not been effected by selfish purposes. In the
time of his greatest power he maintained the same
simplicity of manner and appearance as in the
days of his adversity. So far from affecting regal
(‫)ملكى‬state, he was displeased if, on entering a
room, any unusual testimonial of respect was
shown to him.
 PROF. JULES MASSERMAN
of USA Psychiatric Association :

"People like Pasteur and Salk are leaders in the

first sense. People like Gandhi and Confucius, on
one hand, and Alexander, Caesar and Hitler on the
other, are leaders in the second and perhaps the
third sense. Jesus and Buddha belong in the third
category alone. Perhaps the greatest leader of all
times was MUHAMMAD, who combined all three
functions. To a lesser degree, Moses did the
same."
Now please relax for a moment …

The least YOU could do as a thinking and

concerned human being is to stop for moment and
ask yourself: Could these statements sounding so
extraordinary and revolutionary be really true?

And supposing they really are true and you did not
know this man MUHAMMED (pbuh) or hear about
him, isn't it time you responded to this tremendous
challenge and put in some effort to know him?
 It will cost you nothing but it may prove
to be the beginning of a completely new
era in ones life, even of a Muslim!
