WHAT NON-MUSLIMS SAY ABOUT MUHAMMAD (S.A.W) Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but he is the Messenger of God and the Last of the Prophets. (Holy Quran 33:40) 1. Reverend Bosworth Smith (1794-1884) Late Fellow of Trinity College, Oxford. � he was Caesar and Pope in one; but he was Pope without the Popes pretensions, and Caesar without the legions of Caesar.� Without a standing army, without a bodyguard, without a palace, without a fixed revenue, if ever any man had the right to say that he ruled by a right Divine, it was Mohammed; for he had all the power without its instruments and without its supports. Mohammed and Mohammedanism, London, 1874, p. 235] 2. Michael H. Hart (1932- ) Professor of astronomy, physics and the history of science. My choice of Muhammad to lead the list of the worlds most influential persons 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 level. [ The( 100: A Ranking Of The Most Influential Persons In History , New York, 1978, p. 33] 3. William Montgomery Watt (1909- ) Professor (Emeritus) of Arabic and Islamic Studies at the University of Edinburgh. His readiness to undergo� persecutions� for his beliefs, the high moral character of the men who believed in him and looked up to him as leader, and the� greatness� of� his� ultimate achievement - all argue his fundamental integrity.� To suppose Muhammad an� impostor� raises more problems than it solves. Moreover, none� of the great figures of history is so poorly appreciated in the West as Muhammad. [ Mohammad At Mecca , Oxford, 1953, p. 52] 4. Alphonse de Lamartine (1790-1869) French poet and statesman. Philosopher, orator, apostle, legislator, warrior, conqueror of ideas, restorer of rational dogmas, of a cult without images; the founder of twenty terrestrial empires and of one spiritual empire, that is Muhammad. As regards all standards by which human greatness may be measured, we may well ask, is there any man greater than he?[Translated from Histoire De La Turquie, Paris, 1854, vol. II, pp. 276-277] 5. Edward Gibbon (1737-1794) Considered the greatest British historian of his time. The greatest success of Mohammads life was effected by sheer moral forcewithout� the stroke of a sword. [ History Of The Saracen Empire , London, 1870] NO MORE WORDS FROM MY HEART EXCEPT ASH-HADU AN LAA ILAAHA ILLALLAH WA AS-HADU ANNA MUHAMMADAN RASULULLAH ASALAM ALEIKUM WA RAHMATULAHI WA BARAKATUH #UMAR IDRIS BIN MATANDA
