It is quite natural for any one to love and
Praise the hero or Prophet of his own and if I were to
illustrate the Character of our beloved Prophet
(PBUH), it would be dealt as exaggeration by
enemies of Islam. Therefore, allow me to quote the
opinion of historians, even enemies of that mighty
Messenger of God.
A book had been published in America titled
“The 100 Selection and Gradation of most influential
men in history” in 1978 by Michael H. Hart. In his
Book he gives us hundred most influential men who
really changed the history, including Budha, Asoka,
Hitler etc, and he rates them in order of there
excellence from No.1, through to No. 100. The most
shocking thing about his selection is that he puts our
beloved Prophet (PBUH), as “No 1”, the first of
his 100. Thus verifying the ayah quoted above. The
reason he gives for selecting our Prophet as “No 1” is
that he says “he was THE ONLY man in history who
was supremely successful on both the religious and
secular level. (P.33)
The question arises that why a Christian will
go out of his way and provoke his Christian
customer, the only reason is that he was a sincere
man and he discovered that the greatest man of all
times is Muhammad (PBUH).
Then an article was published in “Time
Magazine” in July 15, 1974 with the title “who were
history’s Great Leaders”. This question was asked
