Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) As seen by
scholars:
"MUHAMMAD was born in the full light of history"
: Professior Philip K. Hitti in his book "THE HISTORY OF
ARABS". Each and every aspects, not only what he said but
also what was his posture when he said that is also available
to us today, even after 14 centuries. No one till to date is able
to point a better person than him to follow. He was the best of
the human being who said "Follow Me".
Even his worst enemies never called him a liar, they said "O
Muhammad, we do not call you liar, But we deny "Him"
who has given you a "Book" (Quran) and inspired you
with a "Message")
This page lists the views of the scholars of the world about
this Greatest Man.
"Muhammad (PBUH) is the most successful
of all Prophets and religious personalities. But this success was
not the result of mere accident. It was not a windfall. It was a recognition
of the fact that he was found to be of true mettle by his contemporaries.
It was the result of his admirable and all compelling personality."
THE ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA.
"Good All This", "The natural voice
of humanity of "piety and equity", dwelling in the heart
of this wild son (Prophet) of nature speaks"
THOMAS CARLYLE.
"If Muhammad was alive today, he would have solved
the problems of the world"! I have the highest regard and reverence
for the Holy Prophet and the Holy Quran. I will assemble at one place
all the eminent scholars and philosophers of the world and request
them to evaluate a procedure and a system based on the teachings of
the Holy Quran, since I strongly believe that only Quranic teachings
alone can bring real happiness to man kind.
"Europe Is, but a molehill" There never have been any mighty
empires, There never have occurred great revolutions. But the "East,
where live hundreds of millions of men, is the "cradle of all"
faiths, The birth place of all metaphysics.
- NAPOLEON BONAPARTE
"Principle of Islam that there is no compulsion
in religion is well known. Pernicious tenet has been imputed to the
Muhammadans, the duly of extirpating all the religions by the sword".
This charge of ignorance and bigotry is refuted by the Quran, by the
history of Mussalman conquerors and by their public and legal toleration
of Christian worship. The greatest success of "Muhammad's life"
was effected by the sheer moral force without the stroke of a "sword".
- GIBBON - a historian
"To the Arabs who would fight for forty years on the slight provocation
that a camel belonging to the guest of one tribes had strayed into
the grazing land belonging to another tribe and both the sides had
fought till they lost 70,000 lives in all, threatening the extinction
of both tribes, to such furious Arabs, the "Prophet of Islam"
taught, "self-control" and "discipline" to the
extend of praying even on the battle field.
The personality of Muhammad (PBUH), it is most difficult to get
into the whole truth of it. Only a glimpse of it I can catch. What
a dramatic succession of picturesque scenes? "There is Muhammad
(PBUH) the Prophet". "There is Muhammad, the General";:
"Muhammad, the King"; "Muhammad, the Warrior";
"Muhammad, the Businessman"; "Muhammad, the preacher"
; "Muhammad, the Philosopher"; "Muhammad, the Statesman";
"Muhammad, the Orator"; "Muhammad, the Reformer";
"Muhammad, the Refuge of Orphans"; "Muhammad, the
Protector of Slaves;" "Muhammad, the Emancipator of Women;"
"Muhammad, the Judge"; "Muhammad, the Saint".
And in all these magnificent roles, in all these departments of
human activities he is alike a hero.
- PROF. K.S.RAMAKRISHNARAO
"Islam was the first religion that preached and
practiced democracy; for in the mosque, when the minaret is sounded
and the worshippers are gathered together, "the democracy of
Islam" is embodied "five-times, a day" when the 'peasant'
and 'king' kneel side by side and proclaim "God alone is great".
"I have been struck over again, and again by this indivisible
unity of Islam that makes a man instinctively a brother. When you
meet an Egyptian, an Algerian, an Indian and a Turk in London, what
matters is that Egypt is the motherland of one and India is the motherland
of another"
- SAROJINI NAIDU - The great Poetess of India.
"Some one has said that Europeans in South Africa
dread the advent of Islam that civilized Spain; Islam that took the
torch of light to Morocco and preached to the world the Gospel of
Brotherhood. The Europeans of South Africa dread the advent of Islam
as than may claim equality with the white races. They may well dread
it. If brotherhood is a sin, if it is equality of the colored races
that they dread, then their dread is well founded".
MAHATHMA GANDHI
"From the very beginning that he was unique in
his person and behaviors. His whole nation testified to his truthfulness
and sincerity of purpose. They called him 'Al-Sadiq' - The Truthful
and 'Al-Ameen' - the Trustworthy. In all his multifarious dealings
with all sorts of people he was gentle, and kind, straightforward,
and upright. He had sweetness and charm of his own in his talk and
department, he never indulged in any kind of indecency. He stood aloof
from the feuds and wrangling of his people. On the other hand, he
shared the weal and woes of everyone, and was always ready to give
a helping hand to the needy and the downtrodden, the helpless and
the indigent. Widows and orphans, slaves and wayfarers. In such a
topsy-turvy world he towered above all. He was a beacon of light in
the vast ocean of darkness spreading all around.
All authorities agree in ascribing to the youth of Mahomet a modesty
of department and purity of manners rare among the people of Mecca."
