This is Muhammad

"The personality of Mohammad! It is most difficult to get into the truth of it. Only a glimpse of it I can catch. What a dramatic succession of picturesque scenes.

There is Mohammad, the prophet, There is Mohammad the General; Mohammad the King; Mohammad the Warrior; Mohammad the businessman; Mohammad the preacher; Mohammad the philosopher; Mohammad the statesman Mohammad the Orator; Mohammad the reformer; Mohammad the refuge of orphans; Mohammad the Protector of Slaves; Mohammad the emancipator of women; Mohammad the Law-giver; Mohammad the Judge; Mohammad the Saint.

And in all these magnificent roles, in all these departments of human activities, he is like, a hero."

By Prof. K. S. Ramakrishna Rao

This is Muhammad

"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?"

Lamartine, HISTOIRE DE LA TURQUIE, Paris, 1854

This is Muhammad

"He must be called the Savior of Humanity. 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 much needed peace and happiness."

George Bernard Shaw, The Genuine Islam, Singapore

This is Muhammad

"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. It was the rigid simplicity, the utter self-effacement of the Prophet, the scrupulous regard for his pledges, his intense devotion to his friends and followers, his intrepidity, his fearlessness, his absolute trust in God and in his own mission. These and not the sword carried everything before them and surmounted every obstacle."

Mahatma Gandhi, speaking on the character of Muhammad (pbuh) at 'YOUNG INDIA'

This is Muhammad

"Muhammad’s unique position in religious history is due to the fact that he inspired all he did without being a saint or an angel, without having any attributes which were not strictly human. Outside his tremendous personality he had nothing in life to distinguish him from other Muslims."

R.V.C. Bodley, The Messenger, London, 1946

This is Muhammad

"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."

Professor Hurgronje

This is Muhammad

"The lies (Western slander) which well-meaning zeal has heaped round this man (Muhammad) are disgraceful to ourselves only."

Thomas Carlyle

This is Muhammad

"History makes it clear, however, that the legend of fanatical Muslims sweeping through the world and forcing Islam at the point of sword upon conquered races is one of the most fantastically absurd myths that historians have ever repeated."

De Lacy O'Leary in 'Islam at the Crossroads,' London, 1923.

This is Muhammad

"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?"

Alphonse de LaMartaine in 'Historie de la Turquie,' Paris, 1854.

This is Muhammad

The picture of the Muslim soldier advancing with a sword in one hand and the Qur'an in the other is quite false.

A. S. Tritton in 'Islam,' 1951
