What Great People said about the Prophet Muhammad PBUH

Some of the famous, contemporary personalities who read the biography of the Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, could not help but admit that he was a master with excellent manners and an honorable character, and the following are some of their sayings:

Michael Hart , author of ‘The 100:
A Ranking of the Most Influential Persons in History’ said: "My choice of Muhammad to lead the list of the world’s 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.”

George Bernard Shaw, the British playwright said:
“The world is in dire need of a man with the mind of Muhammad; religious people in the Middle Ages, due to their ignorance and prejudice, had pictured him in a very dark way as they used to consider him the enemy of Christianity. But after looking into the story of this man I found it to be an amazing and a miraculous one, and I came to the conclusion that he was never an enemy of Christianity, and must be called instead the savior of humanity. In my opinion, if he was to be given control over the world today, he would solve our problems and secure the peace and happiness which the world is longing for.”

Annie Besant, wrote in ‘The Life and Teachings of Muhammad’ :
“It is impossible for anyone who studies the personality of the great Prophet of the Arabs, and come to know how this prophet he used to live, and how he taught the people, but to feel respect towards this honorable prophet; one of the great messengers whom Allaah sent”

Alphonse de La Martaine wrote in ‘Historie de la Turquie’:
"If greatness of purpose, smallness of means, and astonishing results are the three criteria of a human genius, who could dare compare any great man in history with Muhammad? The most famous men created arms, laws, and empires only. They founded, if anything at all, no more than material powers which often crumbled away before their eyes. This man moved not only armies, legislations, empires, peoples, dynasties, but millions of men in one-third of the then inhabited world; and more than that, he moved the altars, the gods, the religions, the ideas, the beliefs and the souls. Philosopher, Orator, Apostle, Legislator, Conqueror of Ideas, Restorer of Rational beliefs… 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?”

J.W.H. Stab wrote in ‘Islam and its Founder ’ :
“ Judged by the smallness of the means at his disposal, and the extent and permanence of the work that he accomplished, no name in world’s history shines with a more specious luster than that of the Prophet of Makkah. To the impulse, which he gave, numberless dynasties have owed their existence, fair cities and stately palaces and temples have arisen, and wide provinces became obedient to the Faith. And beyond all this, his words have governed the belief of generations, been accepted as their rule of life, and their certain guide to the world to come. At a thousand shrines the voices of the faithful invoke blessings on him, whom they esteem the very Prophet of God, the seal of the Apostles… Judged by the standards to human renown, the glory of what mortal can compare with his?”

Dr. Gustav Weil writes in ‘History of the Islamic Peoples ’:
“Muhammad was a shining example to his people. His character was pure and stainless. His house, his dress, his food - they were characterized by a rare simplicity. So unpretentious was he that he would receive from his companions no special mark of reverence, nor would he accept any service from his slave which he could do for himself. He was accessible to all and at all times. He visited the sick and was full of sympathy for all. Unlimited was his benevolence and generosity as also was his anxious care for the welfare of the community.”

Th e British philosopher, Thomas Carlyle, who won the Nobel Prize for his book ‘The Heroes’ wrote:
“It is a great shame for any one to listen to the accusation that Islaam is a lie and that Muhammad was a fabricator and a deceiver. We saw that he remained steadfast upon his principles, with firm determination; kind and generous, compassionate, pious, virtuous, with real manhood, hardworking and sincere. Besides all these qualities, he was lenient with others, tolerant, kind, cheerful and praiseworthy and perhaps he would joke and tease his companions. He was just, truthful, smart, pure, magnanimous and present-minded; his face was radiant as if he had lights within him to illuminate the darkest of nights; he was a great man by nature who was not educated in a school nor nurtured by a teacher as he was not in need of any of this.”

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, the German writer said:
“Us, Europeans, with all our concepts could not reach what Muhammad has reached, and no one will be able to precede him. I have looked in the history of humanity for an example and found that it was Muhammad, as the truth must be revealed. Indeed, Muhammad succeeded to subdue the entire world to monotheism”.

Why I seem to you so violent is it because I say the truth, have you seen me carrying a bomb to blow someone???

No wonder as Muslims, you consider even talking should be forbiden to us.

gurrato alaien,

I find it interesting that you continue to attempt to win converts to Islam on this site. Especially in light of your tactics. You have been asked many straight forward questions on many other threads (several of which you started) and do not answer them then you post something like this.

It is also interesting you begin your little list with Michael Hart who by his own admission is only offering his opinion. Ask around I am sure there are many others that will offer their opinion, like say over two billion Christians. I agree with Cyber Knight, famous does not equate great.

I am curious, would you like us to post what people have said about Jesus? The apostles? The pope? Would that convince you?

 

[inJESUS]

i prefer these:

Bukhari 2.225:

…Gabriel did not come to the Prophet (for some time) and so one of the Quraish women said, “His Satan has deserted him.” …

Narrated Aisha:

Magic was worked on Allah’s Apostle so that he used to think that he had sexual relations with his wives while he actually had not …

Sura 81:22-25 says, “No, your compatriot [Muhammad] is not mad. He saw him [Gabriel] on the clear horizon. He does not grudge the secrets of the unseen, nor is this the utterance of an accursed devil.”

Sura 69:41, 42 say, "It [the Quran] is no poet’s speech: scant is your faith! It is no soothsayer’s divination: how little you reflect! It is revelation from the Lord of the Universe.

Here mohammas is saying to his critics that he really saw an angel, and his words are not from a devil, or from his own imagination. No doubt the people living at that time thought he was inspired by a devil, so mohammad spoke these words, in the quran, in self defense.

How do you like this one?

A dissension rose again among the Jews for these words. And many of them said: He hath a devil, and is mad: why hear you him? (John 10:20)

Mohamed, peace be upon him, was called the honest and trustworthy alll of his life…until, like Jesus, he started to relay God’s message…then people called him all kinds of things.

looooooooool am a prophet hehehe i knew someone will reply the same things but there is a little difference here they accused Jesus because he was doing miracles specially casting demons out and healing did mohammas do miracles as well?

Mohamed, peace be upon him, was called the honest and trustworthy alll of his life…until, like Jesus, he started to relay God’s message…then people called him all kinds of things

mohammad was a fine person until he encountered that strange spirit…after that, hell broke out…unlike St. Paul who used to kill but who changed completely after encountering the true Lord Jesus.

This could either be a great thread or nothing more than a he said/she said.

Just as you can’t get blood out of a turnip, so too you can not get peace and holidness out of a false prophet.

Lets see why the Pharisee accused Jesus and lets see Jesus response :

Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw.

Mat 12:23 And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?

Mat 12:24 But when the Pharisees heard [it], they said, **This [fellow] doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils. **

Mat 12:25 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:

Mat 12:26 **And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand? **

Mat 12:27 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast [them] out? therefore they shall be your judges.

Mat 12:28 **But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you. **

Mat 12:29 Or else how can one enter into a strong man’s house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.

Mat 12:30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.

Mat 12:31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy [against] the [Holy] Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.

Mat 12:32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the [world] to come.

Mat 12:33 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by [his] fruit.

So, Jesus was accused because he cast out demons…since the pharisee did not believe he is the Messiah, they attributed his miracles to satan…but Jesus knew how to reply

So Mohammed was under the influence of Satan. As for Christ, he cast out demons.

 

[MrS]

inJESUS:

A very blunt statement, but true… If you are not for Christ, the Truth, you are against Him. The opposite of the Truth is lies, and we know who the father of lies is. Is it just coincidence that the word
Devil has evil in it and the word
Good has God in it?? hmmmm

gurrato alaien:

Truth? Nope. I saw you on tv lately.

have you seen me carrying a bomb to blow someone???

might be. we should be aware of you.

No wonder as Muslims, you consider even talking should be forbiden to us.

criticizing muhammad also forbidden.
Do you have freedom in life? no you dont, you have it in dreams!

PS: talking bad about muhammad = enemies, talking good about muhammad = great people.

 

[StMarkEofE]

What I can not figure out is a good reason for God to send another prophet into our lives after the Incarnation and Redemption of Christ our Saviour. Why would God decide that sending his Son into the world to save all sinners was not enough. This would be attributing a shortcoming or imperfection of God. And we all know that there is no such thing. So is this Islam a cult, or is it an abomination, or is it simply manmade for those tribal people who didnt receive the light of the world in time to avoid this new apostacy foisted upon the earth?

To be cont…

The words of Lamartine are far more appropriate to Moses.​

God said to Moses that He would destroy Israel because of its sins, and make Moses the father of a nation in its stead. Moses, far from agreeing, interceded for Israel and passed up the offer. That is how much he loved Israel - he completely ignored his own honour and fame, for the benefit of others.

Moses is outstanding in every respect, as a penitent, a man of prayer, a saint, a mystic, a theologian, a prophet, a lawgiver, a pastor and an intercessor. He is always praying for his enemies, always forgetting himself. He offered his own life for Israel, when he had no human reason to do so. His whole life during the Exodus is a contradiction of human nature and its self-seeking, desire for comfort, desire for friendship. He is so great by God’s grace, that God, not his relatives, was His Friend. Scripture as good as says so.

IMHO, he is far the greatest saint of the Bible, because St. Paul had the advantage of living after Jesus had been raised from the dead in glory. The BVM knew of the Incarnation of God by direct experience, for she was His mother. Moses did not. He was denied entry to the Promised Land for one moment of distrust of God - tiny sins (as we may think them to be) are punished most severely in those who have least excuse for them because God’s goodness to them has been so enormous; and this shows how great the goodness of God to Moses had been. Only very great saints are so severely punished, AFAICS. He is simply astounding; the more one thinks about him, the more amazing he is found to be.

Yet he is just a sinful, failing, human being. He is nothing in comparison with Jesus, nothing at all

BTW - human standards are nothing: God is all that matters. Moses is wonderful in what matters - that is why he is great in the little things, such as bearing with Israel for 40 years because God so willed.

What is good in it, may have a place in God’s purposes as something to prepare heathens for His Son. Islam does at least proclaim one single God, which is better than worship of idols and the heavenly bodies.​

 

[StMarkEofE]

## What is good in it, may have a place in God’s purposes as something to prepare heathens for His Son. Islam does at least proclaim one single God, which is better than worship of idols and the heavenly bodies. ##

It would seem to me that any “preparations” for His Son has gone by the wayside as witnessed in Islam’s 1.5 billion adherants.

The Greeks had many altars to various gods, which included an altar to the “invisible God”.

An earlier Egyptian pharoh did claim a single diety.

My argument is that Christ is the completion of our redemption and no other claiming divinity of any type after Him can be wholesome nor be believed for one’s salvation.

God’s purpose was through the Incarnation not Muhammed. Lets face it Muhammed was familiar with Hebrew and Christian texts before he started writing the Quran. So, the Quran can be said to be a mishmash an hybrid of both texts interlaced with personal socalled revelations and opinions.

the point is: allah seems unable to take care of his books Jews corrupted so Jesus came christians corrupted so mohammad came muslims corrupted so Ghulam ahmad came this logic makes you wonder the omnipotence of allah…furthermore, after sending Jesus, allah went a thousand steps back to send someone like mohammas…allah seems not to progress…after Jesus, mohammad???

am not insulting his god coz allah to me = mohammad; and yes i have the right to expose false prophets.Besides, i was expressing an idea, i was not insulting. And as Jesus said : lukewarm people make him throw up coz either you are with him or agaisnt him. As a buddist , all are equal to you…but as a Christian, i have the right to defend the heresies agaisnt my God, just as the apostles used to do…you believe in humanity, i believe in God and i have the right to expose anyone who says he comes from the same God yet insults both Him and his teachings. So being politically correct does not work here, sorry.
