Muhammad the Greatest
by Ahmad Deedat

Chapter 1

"And most certainly, thou (O Muhammad) are of most sublime and exalted character."1 (The Holy Quran, 68:4) 
 

How the Topic Arose

   About ten years ago, a distant cousin of mine - Mr. Mohamed Mehtar Farooki2 gave me a typed quotation by the French historian, Lamartine. The quotation3 purported to prove that Muhammad (pbuh), the prophet of Islam, was the greatest man that ever lived. Mr. Mehtar was in the habit of passing information on to me, believing that I might put the same to some good use at the proper time and place. Before this he had presented me with "The Call of the Minaret," an expensive book written by (Bishop Kenneth Cragg).  By analysing this book I discovered the 
 masterful deceit of the Christian orientalists. 

1. I urge my Muslim brethren to memorize the verse in Arabic and its meaning.
2. Mr. Mehtar was for a long time editor of the Muslim newspaper "The Indian Views," in South Africa.
3. A detailed exposition of the quotation will be found on page 38.
