Muhammad: The Most Influential Single Figure
August 4th, 2009 | Category: Prophet MuhammadThe following video is about what different intellectuals have said about Prophet Muhammad (saw).
Never has a man set for himself, voluntarily or involuntarily, a more sublime aim, since this aim was superhuman; to subvert superstitions which had been interposed between man and his Creator; to render God unto man and man unto God; to restore the rational and sacred idea of divinity amidst the chaos of the material and disfigured gods of idolatry, then existing. Never has a man undertaken a work so far beyond human power with so feeble means, for he (Muhammad) had in the conception as well as in the execution of such a great design no other instrument than himself, and no other, except a handful of men living in a corner of the desert. Finally, never has a man accomplished such a huge and lasting revolution in the world because in less than two centuries after its appearance, Islam in faith and in arms, reigned over the whole of Arabia, conquered, in God’s name, Persia, Khorasan, Transoxania, Western India, Syria, Egypt, Abyssinia, all the known continent of Northern Africa, numerous islands of the Mediterranean, Spain and a part of Gaul.
