Muhammad the Greatest

          However, if I were to reproduce here¹  what great
Muslims have said or written about our illustrious prophet, it
could be played down as exaggeration, fancy or idolization
by the sceptics and the opponents of Islam.  Therefore, allow
me to quote unbiased historians, friendly critics and even
avowed enemies of that mighty Messenger of God -
Muhammad (pbuh).  If the tributes of the non-Muslims do
not touch your hearts, then you are in the wrong faith.  Opt
out of Islam!  There is already too much deadwood on the
"ship" of Islam.

          In recent times, a book has been published in America
 titled "The 100," or the Top One Hundred, or the Greatest
Hundred in History.  A certain Michael H. Hart, described as a
historian, mathematician and astronomer has written this
novel book.  He has searched history, seeking for men who
had the greatest influence on mankind.  In this book he
gives us The hundred most influential men, including Asoka,
Aristotle, Buddha, Confucius, Hitler, Plato, and Zoroaster.  He
does not give us a mere chart of the topmost "one
hundred" from the point of view of their influence on
people, but he evaluates the degree of their influence and
rates them in order of their excellence from No. 1, through
to No. 100.  He gives us his reasons for the placing of his
candidates.  We are not asked to agree with him, but we
cannot help admire the man's research and honesty.

     The most amazing thing about his selection is that he
has put our Nabee-e-Kareem, the Holy Prophet Muhammad
(pbuh) as No. 1, ²  the first of his "100!" Thus confirming,
unknowingly, God's Own testimony in His Final Revelation to
the World:
