Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) in the eyes of non-Muslims

Prophet Muhammad is beloved and revered by more than 2 billion Muslims but many non-Muslims do not know much about him. They regard him as a sword yielding barbaric and a false prophet. As an Ahmadi Muslim, I want to educate my readers that nothing could be further from the truth. Many non-Muslim historians have written books about Prophet Muhammad and his mission.

Michael H. Hart, wrote in his book, “A Ranking of the Most Influential Persons in History”: “My choice of Muhammad to lead the list of the world’s most influential persons may surprise some readers and may be questioned by others, but he was the only man in history who was supremely successful on both the religious and secular level.”

A famous Orientalist, William Montgomery Watt, wrote in his book, Muhammad at Medina: “Had it not been for his gifts as a seer, statesman, and administrator and, behind these, his trust in God and firm belief that God had sent him, a notable chapter in the history of mankind would have remained unwritten.”

In a statement published in Young India, Mahatma Ghandi stated: “I became more than ever convinced that it was not the sword that won a place for Islam in those days…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.”

The worldwide spiritual leader of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, Caliph Mirza Masroor Ahmad says, “Whenever aspects of the blessed life of the Prophet Muhammad have been presented to non-Muslims who possess even the slightest amount of justice and fairness, then despite differences of opinions, they were compelled to praise the various characteristics of the life of the Prophet Muhammad.”

About Ahmadiyya Muslim Community:

The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is a dynamic, reformist and fast-growing international movement within Islam. Founded in 1889, the Community spans over 200 countries with membership exceeding tens of millions. Ahmadiyya Muslim Community USA, established in 1920, is among the oldest American-Muslim organizations.

The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is the only Islamic organization to believe that the long- awaited messiah has come in the person of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (1835-1908) of Qadian, India. Ahmad claimed to be the metaphorical second coming of Jesus of Nazareth and the divine guide, whose advent was foretold by the Prophet of Islam, Muhammad.

The Community believes that God sent Ahmad, like Jesus, to end religious wars, condemn bloodshed and re-institute morality, justice, and peace. Ahmad’s advent has brought about an unprecedented era of Islamic revival and moderation. He divested Muslims of fanatical beliefs and practices by vigorously championing Islam’s true and essential teachings.
