SHOULD KNOW
THIS MAN
 ENCYCLOPAEDIA
BRITANNICA confirms:

“.... A mass of detail in the early sources

show that he was an honest and upright
man
who had gained the respect and loyalty
of others who were like-wise honest
and upright men." (Vol. 12)
GEORGE BERNARD SHAW
 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:

 I have prophesied about 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.”
 GEORGE BERNARD SHAW
:about him
 "If any religion had the chance of ruling over England,
nay Europe within the next hundred years, it could be
Islam."
 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 that assimilating
capacity to the changing phase of existence, which can
make itself appeal to every age.
 I have studied him - the wonderful man and in my
opinion far from being an anti-Christ, he must be called
the Savior of Humanity."

 (Sir George Bernard Shaw in 'The Genuine Islam,' Vol. 1, No. 8,

1936.)
MICHAEL H. HART in his book on Ratings
of Men
He ranked Mohammed first in the list, who contributed
towards the benefit and uplift of mankind:
"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 levels."
(M.H. Hart, THE 100: A RANKING OF
THE MOST INFLUENTIAL PERSONS
IN HISTORY, New York, 1978, p. 33)
Prof. Ramakrishna Rao says:

"The personality of Muhammad, 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, the Prophet. There is Muhammad, the Warrior;
Muhammad, the Businessman; 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. All
in all these magnificent roles, in all these departments of
human activities, he is alike a hero." 
The famous poetess of India, SAROJINI NAIDU says:
 "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 five times a day when the
peasant and king kneel side by side and
proclaim: 'God Alone is Great'...

 I have been struck over and over again by

this indivisible unity of Islam that makes man
instinctively
(S.Naidu, a brother"

1918, p. 169)
THOMAS CARLYLE
In his ‘HEROES AND HEROWORSHIP’, was simply amazed as to:
"How one man single-handedly,
could weld warring tribes and
wandering Bedouins into a most
powerful and civilized nation in
less than two
decades."
"The lies (Western slander) which
well-meaning zeal has heaped
round this man (Muhammad) are
disgraceful to ourselves only."
"A silent great soul, one of that
who cannot but be earnest. He
was to kindle the world, the
world’s Maker had ordered so."
 MAHATMA GANDHI
Speaking on the character of Muhammad (pbuh)
says in YOUNG INDIA:
 "I wanted to know the best of one who holds
today's undisputed sway over 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.
 When I closed the 2nd volume (of the Prophet's

biography), I was sorry there was not more for

me to read of the great life"
 ,LAMAR TINE
:The renowned historian

,If greatness of purpose”

smallness of means and
astounding results are
,the three criteria of human genius
who could dare to compare
any great man in modern history
“?with Muhammad
 La-Martine..

 His forbearance in victory, his ambition, which

was entirely devoted to one idea and in no manner
striving for an empire;
His endless prayers, his mystic conversations* with
God, his death and his triumph after death;
All these attest not to an imposture but to a firm
conviction which gave him the power to restore a
true belief.
 This true belief was two-fold, the unity of God and
the immateriality of God; the former telling what
God is, the latter telling what God is not; the one
overthrowing false gods with the sword, the other
starting an idea with the words.
* Receiving revelation from God as such as Prophets Abraham, Moses and Jesus experienced
 "Philosopher, orator, apostle, legislator,
warrior, conqueror of ideas, restorer of
rational true belief, of a system of religion
without images;
Satellite

The founder of twenty terrestrial empires

and of one spiritual empire, that is
MUHAMMAD.

As regards all the standards by which

Human Greatness may be measured, we
(Alphonse
mayde Lamar tine, HISTOIRE DE LA TURQUIE,
well ask,
Paris, 1854, Vol. II, pp 276-277)
IS THERE ANY MAN GREATER THAN HE?"
DIWAN CHAND SHARMA wrote:

"Muhammad was the soul of kindness,

and his influence was felt and never
forgotten by those around him."

(D.C. Sharma, THE PROPHETS OF THE EAST, Calcutta, 1935,

pp. 12)
 Annie Besant
"But do you mean to tell me that the man who in the
full flush of youthful vigour, a young man of four and
twenty (24), married a woman much his senior, and
remained faithful to her for six and twenty years (26),
at fifty years of age when the passions are dying
married for lust and sexual passion? Not thus are men's
lives to be judged. And you look at the women whom
he married, you will find that by every one of them an
alliance was made for his people, or something was
gained for his followers, or the woman was in sore need
of protection." 
(Dr Annie Besant (Dr. Annie Besant in 'The Life and
EDWARD GIBBON and SIMON OCKLEY
speaking on the profession of ISLAM:

“’I BELIEVE IN ONE GOD, AND MAHOMET, AN

APOSTLE OF GOD’ is the simple and invariable
profession of Islam. The intellectual image of the
Deity has never been degraded by any visible idol;
the honor of the Prophet has never
transgressed the measure of human virtues; and his
living precepts have restrained the gratitude of his
disciples within the bounds of reason and religion”
(HISTORY OF THE SARACEN EMPIRES, London, 1870, p. 54)
 In the words of PROF. HURGRONJE

"The league of 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 of Nations."
 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.
 He did it…
• He was by far the most remarkable man that ever
set foot on this earth.
• He preached a religion, founded a state, built a
nation, laid down a moral code, initiated numerous
social and political reforms
• 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 to come.
 YES! HE IS
MUHAMMED
May Peace of God Be Upon Him (pbuh)
“O Prophet (Muhammad)! Verily, We have
sent you as witness, and a bearer of glad
tidings, and a warner”
To share the message with whole humanity. Glad tidings
about the eternal wisdom and Heaven. Warn about the
hell fire in life after death for who deny
Now please relax for a moment
The least YOU could do as a thinking and
concerned human being is to stop for
a 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 MUHAMMAD
(pbuh)
or hear about him, isn't it time you
responded to this tremendous challenge
and put in some effort to know him?
He was born in Arabia in the year
570, started his mission of preaching
the religion, “submission to One
God” at the age of forty and
departed from this world at the age
of sixty-three.
 His Mission
During this short period of 23 years of his Prophet hood, he
changed the complete Arabian peninsula

From paganism and idolatry to SUBMISSION to the One True

God
From tribal quarrels and wars to national solidarity and
cohesion
From drunkenness and debauchery to sobriety and piety
From lawlessness and anarchy to disciplined living
From utter bankruptcy to the highest standards of moral
excellence

Human history has never known such a complete

transformation of
a society or a place before or since – and IMAGINE all these
