Do U Know A Great Man

DO U KNOW HIM A GREAT MAN CALLED MUHAMMAD?
*YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS MAN*
*WHAT A GREAT MAN*
*(Sir George Bernard Shaw says, in 'The Genuine Islam,' Vol. 1,
No. 8, 1936):*
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.
*(M.H. Hart Says, THE 100: A RANKING OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL
PERSONS IN HISTORY, New York, 1978, p. 33)*
He ranked Muhammad 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.
*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 a brother" - (S.Naidu,
IDEALS OF ISLAM, vide Speeches & Writings, Madras, 1918, p. 169)
*THOMAS CARLYLE Says, 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* Says, 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 Says*, 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?”
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 (Receiving
revelation from God as such as Prophets Abraham, Moses and Jesus
experienced) 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.
"Philosopher, orator, apostle, legislator, warrior, conqueror of
ideas, restorer of rational true belief, of a system of religion
without images;
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 may well ask,
IS THERE ANY MAN GREATER THAN HE?"
(Alphonse de Lamar tine, HISTOIRE DE LA TURQUIE, Paris, 1854,
Vol. II, pp 276-277)
*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 Says, "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 Teachings of
Mohammad,' Madras, 1932)
*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 MUHAMMAD*
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 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
unbelievable wonders in JUST OVER TWO [truncated by WhatsApp]
