Mohamed is the most Influential man in history
 | Non-Muslims say that, when they are thinking and using the scientific approach. Let us read … |
Michael H. Hart is a Jewish American astrophysicistand he is the writer of the famous book “The 100: A Ranking of the Most Influential Persons in History”which has sold more than 500,000 copies and been translated into 15 languages.
The said book was not directed to Muslims but Hart chose prophet Mohamed because he believes that prophet Mohamed peace be upon him was the only
Man in history who was supremely successful on both the religious and secular levels.
In his book hart says about the reason behind choosing the prophet as number one in the list:”My choice of Muhammad to lead the list of the world's most influential personsmay surprise some readers and may be questioned by others, but he was the onlyman in history who was supremely successful on both the religious and secular levels.Of humble origins, Muhammad founded and promulgated one of the world's greatreligions, and became an immensely effective political leader. Today, thirteencenturies after his death, his influence is still powerful and pervasive.”
In comparison with the rest of men in the list, Hart says about Mohamed peace be upon him: “The majority of the persons in this book had the advantage of being born and raised incenters of civilization, highly cultured or politically pivotal nations. Mohammad, however, was born in the year 570, in the city of Mecca, in southern Arabia, at thattime a backward area of the world, far from the centers of trade, art, and learning”.
Prophet Mohammad was born in southern Arabia, at that time a backward area of the world, far from the centers of trade, art, and learning.
Hart continues his talking about the history of the prophet by saying:”Most Arabs at that time were pagans, who believed in many gods. There were, however, in Mecca, a small number of Jews and Christians “.
