Ashraful Ambia Muhammadur Rasulullah Sallallahu A'laihi Wasallam in the eyes of non-Muslim scholars

                                                                                 -Muhammad Sheikh Ramzan Hossain

1.      THE HISTORICAL ROLE OF ISLAM  by Manobendra Nath Roy):

“THE APPARENTLY SUDDER RISE AND DRAMATIC EXPANTION OF MOHAMMADANISM CONSTITUTES ALMOS FASCINATING CHAPTER IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND”.

(Source: https://www.amazon.com/Historical-Role-Islam-M-Roy/dp/1179769694).

2.      THE GREAT RELIGIOUS TEACHER IN THE EAST by Alfred Martine.
“The way in which the ideology of Muhammad succeeded in transforming the then social system of Arabia is unparalleled in any other religious history in the world.

3.      MUHAMMAD-THE PROFET OF ISLAM by Professor K, S, Ramakrishna, University of Mysore, India, 1979.

“In order to be recognized as a worthy citizen of the world, it is essential to study the religions and philosophies that influence the human race in the world, which creates good relations with people of other religions”.

4.      Sir George Bernard Shaw in ‘The Genuine Islam,’ Vol. 1, No. 8, 1936 said that: If any religion had the chance of ruling over England, nay Europe within the next hundred years, it could be Islam. I have always held the religion of Muhammad in high estimation because of its wonderful vitality. It is the only religion which appears to me to possess that assimilating capacity to the changing phase of existence which can make itself appeal to every age. I have studied him - the wonderful man and in my opinion far from being an anti-Christ, 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 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.

5.      Thomas Carlyle in ‘Heroes and Hero Worship and the Heroic in History,’ 1840 said that: The lies (Western slander) that have accumulated around this man (Muhammad) - which may well mean bigotry, are a shame for us.

 

 

Heroes, Hero-Worship and the Heroic in History, On QUICK REFERENCE

A course of six lectures by T. Carlyle, delivered 1840, published 1841. In this series Carlyle elaborates his view that ‘Universal History, the history of what man has accomplished in this world, is at bottom the History of…Great Men’, and chooses for his examples The Hero as Divinity (e.g. Odin, the ‘Type Norseman’); The Hero as Prophet (e.g. Muhammad); The Hero as Poet (e.g. Dante, Shakespeare); The Hero as Priest (e.g. Luther, Knox); The Hero as Man of Letters (e.g. Dr Johnson, Rousseau, Burns); and The Hero as King (e.g. Cromwell, Napoleon).

6.      ‘Young India,’1924 ‘Young India,’1924 ‘Young India,’1924 by Mahatma Gandhi, Prominent State Leader of India said that:  I wanted to know about the life of one of the best people in the world who has an undisputed place in the hearts of millions of people today. The reason for the spread of Islam was the Prophet's steadfast simplicity, selflessness, cautious thinking about the future, selfless devotion to friends and followers, his unwavering courage, fearlessness, and infinite faith in God and His (Prophet's) responsibilities. All this has helped the Muslims to overcome all obstacles”.

7.     Dr. William Draper in ‘History of Intellectual Development of Europe.’ He said that:

“Four years after Justinian's death, in 569 (in Islamic counting 570), a man was born in Arabia who had the greatest influence on mankind. Being the religious head of many empires, serving as the guide of the daily life of one-third of mankind - all these prove the validity of his title as the messenger of the Creator.

8.     Alphonse de LaMartaine in ‘Historie de la Turquie,’ Paris, 1854  said that: Who would dare to compare Muhammad with any other great man in history, if the greatness of purpose, the smallness of the means of attaining the goal, and the astonishing results are the three characteristics of an extraordinary man? Most celebrities have only created armies, laws and empires. If they have established something, it is nothing more than worldly power, which is often shattered before their very eyes.

 

This man not only led the army, the law, the empire, the rulers, the manpower, but also moved the lives of millions of people in the world at that time; 

Muhammad is the philosopher, the orator, the messenger, the legislator, the inventor of new ideas / the embodiment of ideas, the restorer of real beliefs… the founder of twenty worldly and a spiritual empire. Considering the many criteria by which human excellence is measured, we can ask ourselves - is there anyone better than Muhammad?

9. Montgomery Watt in ‘Muhammad at Mecca,’ Oxford, 1953. He said that:

Enduring all kinds of hardships to establish one's own ideals, the high character traits of those who believed in him and followed him as a leader, and the enormity of Muhammad's achievements - all testify to his honesty. 
Moreover, no other historical figure like Muhammad has been so underestimated in the West, not only on the basis of what has been narrated, but if we want to understand Muhammad even a little, we must judge him with the necessary honesty and fairness.

D. G. Hogarth in ‘Arabia’ said that important or trivial, his every day behavior has created a discipline that millions of people consciously follow even today. No other human being has been considered as ideal by any part of mankind and has never been followed as closely as Muhammad. The conduct of the founder of Christianity did not control the lives of his followers. Moreover, no founder of any religion has left such a unique feature to the Muslims as the Prophet.

About this Item

Title

The penetration of Arabia; a record of the development of western knowledge concerning the Arabian Peninsula,

Summary

David George Hogarth (1862-1927) was a British archaeologist and scholar who between 1887 and 1907 worked on excavations in Cyprus, Greece, and several countries of the Middle East. In 1904 he published The Penetration of Arabia, a work which, as the subtitle indicates, was an attempt to chronicle the growth of Western knowledge about the Arabian Peninsula, rather than a first-hand account based on travel to the region. The book has two sections. "The Pioneers" analyzes the historical geography of the region from the time of Claudius Ptolemy (second century), and includes discussions of explorations by 18th- and early-to-mid-19th-century travelers such as Carsten Niebuhr (1733-1815) and Domingo Badia y Leblich (1766-1818). The second section, entitled "The Successors," covers the travels of mid-19th-century to early 20th-century explorers, including Richard Francis Burton, Christiaan Snouck Hurgronje, William Gifford Palgrave, Wilfrid Scawen Blunt, Lady Anne Blunt, and Charles Montague Doughty. The book is organized not by the explorers, however, but by regions, for example, "Western Borderlands," "Southern Borderlands," "The Centre," and so forth. Each chapter ends with a bibliography, and all of the chapters contain illustrations, maps, or photographs. During World War I, Hogarth was an associate of T.E. (Thomas Edward) Lawrence (1888-1935), better known as Lawrence of Arabia, with whom he worked in planning the early stages of the 1916 Arab Revolt against the Ottoman Turks. World Digital Library.
