NON-Muslim (Mahatma Gandhi) Views About MUHAMMAD (PBUH)

"I wanted to know the best of the life of one who holds today an undisputed sway over the hearts of millions of mankind.... I became more than ever 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 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 second volume (of the Prophet's biography), I was sorry there was not more for me to read of that great life". Mahatma Gandh.

NON-MUSLIM (Sir George Bernard Shaw) VIEWS ABOUT MUHAMMAD

"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 for from being an anti-Christ, he must be called the Savior of Humanity".

 
NON-MUSLIM (Thomas Carlyle) VIEWS ABOUT MUHAMMAD
"The lies lies (Western slander) which well-meaning zeal has heaped round this man (Muhammad) are disgraceful to ourselves only". Thomas Carlyle

NON-MUSLIM (W. Montgomery Watt) VIEWS ABOUT MUHAMMAD
"His readiness to undergo persecution for his beliefs, the high moral character of the men who believed in him and looked up to him as a leader, and the greatness of his ultimate achievement - all argue his fundamental integrity. To suppose Muhammad an impostor raises more problems that it solves. Moreover, none of the great figures of history is so poorly appreciated in the West as Muhammad... Thus, not merely must we credit Muhammad with essential honesty and integrity of purpose, if we are to understand him at all; if we are to correct the errors we have inherited from the past, we must not forget the conclusive proof is a much stricter requirement than a show of plausibility, and in a matter such as this only to be attained with difficulty". W. Montgomery Watt

NON-MUSLIM (Dr William Draper) VIEWS ABOUT MUHAMMAD
Four years after the death of Justinian, A.D. 569, was born in Mecca, in Arabia, the man who, of all men, has exercised the greatest influence upon the human race... To be the religious head of many empires, to guide the daily life of one-third of the human race, may perhaps justify the title of a Messenger of God. Dr William Draper

NON-MUSLIM (Alphonse de LaMartaine) VIEWS ABOUT MUHAMMAD

If greatness of purpose, smallness of means, and astonishing results are the three criteria of a human genius, who could dare compare any great man in 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, legislation, empires, peoples, 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 the souls. Alphonse de LaMartaine

NON-MUSLIM (Leo Tolstoy) VIEWS ABOUT MUHAMMAD
"Muhammad has always been standing higher than the Christianity. He does not consider god as a human being and never rnakes himself equal to God. Muslims worship nothing except God and Muhammad is his Messenger. There is not any mystery and secret in it" Leo Tolstoy

NON-MUSLIM (D. G. Hogarth) VIEWS ABOUT MUHAMMAD
Serious or trivial, his daily behavior has instituted a canon which millions observe this day with conscious memory. No one regarded by any section of the human race as Perfect Man has ever been imitated so minutely. The conduct of the founder of Christianity has not governed the ordinary life of his followers. Moreover, no founder of a religion has left on so solitary an eminence as the Muslim apostle. D. G. Hogarth
