What “others” say about

Prophet Mohammed (SWAS)

It’s a Holiday !!

What are we doing

here….shouldn’t we
be taking some
“rest”

“Verily, in the remembrance of

Allah do hearts find rest.” (Quran
13:28)
Do we need any further proof

“And We have sent

you (O Muhammad
(peace be upon him)
not but as a mercy
for all the worlds.”

(Al-Anbiyâ 21:107)
Simplicity & Selflessness
consistency

“If greatness of purpose,

smallness of means, and
astounding results are the three
criteria of human genius, who
could dare compare any great
man in modem history with
Muhammad?”
- LamartineHistoire de la Turquie, Pans 1854, Vol. 11, pp. 276-77.
 Simplicity & Selflessness

“He was Caesar and Pope in

one; but he was Pope without
Pope's pretensions, Caesar
without the legions of Caesar”

- Bosworth Smith: Mohammad and Mohammadanism, London 1874, p 92

 Influence & leadership

“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.”
Michael H. Hart The 100: A Ranking of the Most Influential Persons in History.
,New York: Hart Publishing Company Inc. 1978, p 33.
 Influence & leadership
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.”

Sir George Bernard Shaw in 'The Genuine Islam,' Vol. 1, No. 8, 1936.
 Influence & leadership
Leaders must fulfill three functions

 provide for the well being of the led,

 provide a social organization in which people feel relatively secure
 provide them with one set of beliefs
“Perhaps the
greatest leader of all
times was
MUHAMMAD,
who combined all
three functions.
To a lesser degree,
PROF. JULES MASSERMAN of USA Psychiatric Association
Moses did the
 Influence & leadership
"The Union of theorists, organizer and leader in one
man, is the rarest phenomenon on this earth; Therein
consists greatness."

In the person of the Prophet of Islam the world has seen this
rarest phenomenon on earth, walking in flesh and blood.

Ramakrishna Rao
Reality vs. myth
“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.
How do “they” then judge

“As regards all standards by which human

greatness may be measured, we may well ask,

is there any man greater than he ?”

Lamartine
Where then lies the difference !!

Praise vs. Obey

"He who obeys the
Messenger
(Muhammad) has
indeed obeyed Allâh,
but he who turns away,
then we have not sent
you (Muhammad) as a
watcher over them."
(Qurân 4: 80)
Ingredients to success

Unity & be not divided
Dawah (Call)
Enjoin the “Right”
Forbid the “Wrong”

Surah Al Imran 102:110
