You Must Know This Man


You may be an atheist or an agnostic; or you may belong to any of the religious denominations that exist in the world today. You may be a communist or a believer in democracy and freedom. No matter what you are, and no matter what your ideological and political beliefs, personal and social habits happen to be -- YOU MUST STILL KNOW THIS MAN

The Encyclopedia Britannica calls him "The MOST successful of all religious personalities of the world" and it also confirms:

", A mass of detail in the early sources shows 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)

Bernard Shaw said about him:
"He must be called the Savior of Humanity. I believe that if a man like him were to assume the dictatorship of the modern dictatorship of the modern world, he would succeed in solving its problems in a way would bring it much-needed peace and happiness.

(The Genuine Islam, Singapore, Vol. 1, No.8, 1936)

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, 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.

His name is MUHAMMAD May Peace of God Be Upon Him (pbuh)

Born in Arabia in the year 570 A.D., started his mission of preaching the religion of Truth, Islam (submission to One God) at the age of forty and departed from this world when he was sixty three.

During this short period of 23 years of his Prophethood, he changed the complete Arabian Peninsula from paganism and idolatry to worship of One God, from tribal quarrels and wars to national solidarity and cohesion, from drunkenness and debauchery to sobriety and piety, from lawlessness and anarchy to discipline living, from utter bankruptcy to highest standards of moral excellence. Human history has never known such a complete transformation of a people or a place before or since - and IMAGINE all these unbelievable wonders in JUST OVER TWO DECADES.

Lamartine, the renowned historian speaking on the essentials of Human Greatness wonders:


"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? 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, and 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 souls, 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 dogma. This dogma 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 dogmas, of a cult 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?”
(Lamartine, Historire de la Turquie, Paris, 1854, Vol. II, pp. 276-277).

The world has had its share of great personalities. But these were one-sided figures who distinguished themselves in but one or two fields, such as religious thought or military leadership. The lives and teachings of these great personalities of the world are shrouded in the mist of time. There is so much speculation about the time and place of their birth, the mode and style of their life, the nature and detail of their teachings, the degree and measure of their success or failure that it is impossible for humanity to reconstruct accurately the lives and teachings of these men.

Not so this man. MUHAMMAD (pbuh) accomplished so much in such diverse fields of human thought and behavior in the fullest blaze of human history. Every detail of his private and public utterances has been accurately documented and faithfully preserved to our day. The authenticity of the records so preserved are vouched for not only by the faithful followers but even by his prejudiced critics.

MUHAMMAD (pbuh) was a religious teacher, a social reformer, a moral guide, an administrative colossus, a faithful friend, a wonderful companion, a devoted husband, a loving father - all in one. No other man in history ever excelled or equaled him in any of these different aspects of life - but it was only for the selfless personality of MUHAMMAD (pbuh) to achieve such incredible perfections.

Mahatma Gandhi, speaking on the character of MUHAMMAD (pbuh) says in 'Young India':

"I wanted to know the best of one who holds today 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. 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.
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".

Thomas Carlyle in his ‘Heroes and Hero-worship’ was simply amazed as to:

"How one man single handily, could weld warring tribes and wandering Bedouins into a most powerful and civilized nation in less than two decades".

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)

Edward Gibbon and Simon Ockley speaking on the profession of ISLAM write:

“‘I BELIEVE IN ONE GOD, AND MAHOMET, IS 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 have never transgresses 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).

MUHAMMAD (pbuh) was nothing more or less than a human being. But he was a man with a noble mission, which was to unite humanity on the worship of ONE and ONLY ONE GOD and to teach them the way to honest and upright living based on the commands of God. He always described himself as, 'A Servant and Messenger of God', and so indeed every action of his proclaimed to be.

Speaking on the aspect of equality before God in Islam, 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).

In the words of Prof. Hugronje:

" the league of nations founded by the prophet of Islam put the principle international unity and human brotherhood in 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".


The world has not hesitated to raise to divinity, individuals whose lives and missions have been lost in legend. Historically speaking none of these legends achieved even a fraction of what Muhammad (pbuh) accomplished. And all his striving was for the soul purpose of uniting mankind for the worship of One God on the codes of moral excellence. MUHAMMAD (pbuh) of his followers never at any time that he was a Son of God or the God-incarnate or a man with divinity - but he always was and is even today considered as only a Messenger chosen by God.

Michael H. Hart in his recently published book on ratings of men who contributed towards the benefit and upliftment of mankind writes:

"My choice of MUHAMMAD to lead the list of the world most influential persons may surprise some readers and may be questioned by others, but he was the only 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, pp.33).

Jules Masserman (Jewish) in TIME Magazine:

"Perhaps the greatest leader of all times was MOHAMMAD, who combined all the three functions. To a lesser degree Moses did the same."
(Jules Masserman, 'Who Were Histories Great Leaders?', TIME Magazine, July 15, 1974).

K. S. Ramakrishna Rao, an Indian Professor of Philosophy in his booklet, "Muhammad, The Prophet of Islam," calls him the "perfect model for human life." Prof. Ramakrishna Rao explains his point by saying:

"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."

Today after a lapse of fourteen centuries the life and teachings of MUHAMMAD (pbuh) have survived without the slightest loss, alteration or interpolations. 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.

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 to you responded to this tremendous challenge and put-in some effort to know him?

It will cost you nothing but it may prove to be the beginning of a completely new era in your life.

We invite you to make a discovery of this wonderful man, 'MUHAMMAD (pbuh)', the like of whom never walked on the face of this earth.

If mohammed is all that you claim above, apart from the fact that he personally led several wars/battles were many people must have been massacred is teachings today continue to inspire millions of terrorist and evil minded people who are ready to kill their fellow human beings based on his teachings. I would stop here for now i don't need to go into the moral issues of his multiple wives concubines and undersaged sex well documented in your koran and haddiths.

Muhammad as a religious person who happenened to be successful in business and in creating intolerant monsters(thats the way i see you especially supporters of Al Queda) called muslims. Even his instruction to muslims proved what kind of business man he was(the ibo kind, sorry but i've been cheated to many times at oshodi by ibos) and also how much he loved sex. Did he really think he'd enjoy it after death and without any more flesh? 72 virgins will not even remain virgins for long(now they'll say virgin forever).
Will you stop all this bullshit or not?
When will it occur to you self righteous christians and muslims that by living your days trying to discredit each other instead of loving each other and living peacefully. It is clear that the poster is ignorant of the fact that pride is the driving force behind the post which i see as an advertisement rather than anything else. There are so many good and great men and women in the world either dead or alive. Eg mother theresa, . The same sort of pride led to the battle over Jerusalem and over the years, countless deaths.
Stop this stupid adverts and all muslims should stop buying Bibles just so they can peruse and discredit it. We are not your rivals and neither are we practising religion. Christianity is a culture, a tradition adopted by all who see Jesus as the way to God and everlasting life.
PS: When you have turned the jihad to an everyday occurence and haved proved that you, like a lot of christian hypocrites are not as peaceful, loving or tolerant as your books preach, what more do you expect from the world. to love muhammed?

I know Him for HATE, DECEPTION, PEDOPHILIA, WAR, EVIL AND EVERY DARKNESS UNDER THE SUN.

What a bunch of truth-haters!

I know mohammed. . . . .hez a debauched guy.

You again! calm down lest you suffer the like of what the wife of Abu Jahl suffered;

"And his wife too, who carries wood (thorns of Sadan which she used to put on the way of the Prophet () , or use to slander him).
In her neck is a twisted rope of Masad (palm fibre)." [Q111: 2-3] [That is, she preshied alonside her husband]

is this the best u can come up with?

But Noetic I think you have been a good girl? How are you?

Before the noetic defend the she. Noetic is a man

I never knew she was a man, and he had been responding as if he was a she.

You know xtrian and their way of life, nawa , they are all the same, their mind and sense is shallow

it is quite amazing that jesus, budda, zooroaster etc never acheived a fraction what this man single handedly achieved, yet they were elevated to Gods.
Upon his death Abubakar proclaimed; in some of the most powerful words in human history- "if you worship Muhammed, Muhammed is dead. If you worship Allah, Allah lives forever"
We love this man more that our own souls, yet in the 1400 yrs after his death not a single muslim has attempted to worship him. This is indeed the miracle of islam!

You are lost

@Abuzola, are you responding to me? I think you did not read my post well.
Pls clarify

@seeker. Not you, the mod deleted the post of the person i replied to
