  which was to unite humanity on the submission to
  ONE and ONLY GOD and to teach them the way to
  ideal and upright living based on the commands of
  God.
• He always described himself as, 'A Servant and
  Messenger of God,' and so indeed every action of
  his proclaimed to be.

• Today after 14 centuries, the life and teachings
  of MUHAMMAD have survived without the slightest
  loss, alteration or interpolation. They offer the

  also the inescapable conclusion forced upon by a
  critical and unbiased history.

10

  their wives

• The best of you is the best to his family and I
  am the best among you to my family.
• Take care of women. You live with them under the
  auth of Allah (GOD) and you enjoyed them by the
  word of Allah.

15
Animals

• Fear God, in treating dumb animals and ride them
  when they are fit to be ridden and get off them
  when they are tired.
• An adulteress passed by a dog at a well and the
  dog was holding out his tongue from thirst, which
  was near killing him, and the woman drew off her
  boot, and tied it to the end of her garment, and
  drew water for the dog, and gave him to drink
  and she was forgiven for that act
• A woman was punished for a cat which she tied
  till it died from hunger. She gave the cat
  nothing to eat, nor did she set it at liberty so
  that it might find some food

16
Charity

• Prayers lighten the heart, and charity is proof
  of Faith and abstinence from sin is perfect
  splendor
• When you speak, speak the truth perform when you
  promise discharge your trust commit not
  fornication be chaste have no impure desires
  withhold your hands from striking, and from
  taking that which is unlawful and bad.

17
Cleanliness

• God is pure and loves purity and cleanliness

18
Compassion

• "Do you think this woman will cast her own child
  into the fire?" Those present said, "No."
  Muhammad said, "Verily God is more compassionate
  on His creatures, than this woman on her own
  child
• None of you truly believes until he wishes for
  his brother what he wishes for himself.
• He who eats his fill while his neighbor goes
  without food is not a believer.

19
Contenment

• Riches are not from an abundance of worldly
  goods, but from a contented mind
• When you see a person, who has been given more
  than you in money and beauty then look to those
  who have been given less
• Look to those inferior to yourselves, so that you
  may not hold God's benefits in contempt
• God loves those who are content

20
Self control

• The most excellent Jihad is that for the conquest
  of self
• The exercise of religious duty will not atone for
  the fault of an abusive tongue
• That person is wise and sensible who subdues his
  carnal desires and hopes for rewards from God
  and he is an ignorant man who follows his lustful
  appetites

21
Self control

• Powerful is not he who knocks the other down,
  indeed powerful is he who controls himself in a
  fit of anger

22
Courtesy

• Humility and courtesy are acts of piety
• God has no mercy on one who has no mercy for
  others.
• Allah does not judge according to your bodies and
  appearances but HE scans your hearts looks into
  your deeds.

23
Cultivation of land

• There is no Muslim who plants a tree, or sows a
  field, then man or birds or beast eat from it,
  but it is charity for him
• Whoever brings the dead land to life that is
  cultivates waste land, for him is reward therein

24
Duty of beleivers

• Muhammad once said to Anas, "Son, if you are
  able, keep your heart from morning till night and
  from night till morning, free from malice towards
  anyone" then he said, "Oh! my son, this is one
  of my laws, and he who loves my laws verily loves
  me

25
Forgiveness

• Do not say, that if the people do good to us, we
  will do good to them and if the people oppress
  us, we will oppress them but determine that if
  people do you good, you will do good to them and
  if they oppress you, you will not oppress them,
  rather, forgive them

26
Gentleness

• Verily, God is mild, and is fond of mildness, and
  He gives to the mild what he does not to the
  harsh.
• Whoever has been given gentleness has been given
  a good portion, in this world and the next.
• God is gentle and loves gentleness.
• Verily you have two qualities which God and His
  Messenger love - fortitude and gentleness

27
Gods kindness

• If the unbeliever knew of the extent of the
  Lord's mercy, even he would not despair of
  Paradise.
• God's kindness towards his creatures is more than
  a mother's towards her baby.
• If you put your whole trust in God, as you ought,
  He most certainly will give you sustenance, as He
  does the birds they come out hungry in the
  morning, but return full to their nests.

28
Hospitality

• He who believes in one God, and a future life,
  let him honor his guest.
• Whoever believes in God and the Hereafter must
  respect his guest and whoever believeth in God
  and the Hereafter must not incommode his
  neighbors, and a Muslim must speak only good
  words, otherwise remain silent.

29
Kindness

• Whoever is kind to GODs creatures, GOD is kind
  to him therefore be kind to man on earth,
  whether good or bad and being kind to the bad,
  is to withhold him from badness, thus in heaven
  you will be treated kindly

30
Modesty

• True modesty is the source of all virtues.
• Modesty and chastity are part of the faith.
• Meekness and modesty are two branches of Iman
  and vain talking and embellishing are two
  branches of hypocrisy.
• All kinds of modesty are best.

31
Peace making

• Shall I inform you of a better act than fasting,
  charity, and prayers? Making peace between one
  another enmity and malice tear up heavenly
  rewards by the roots.

32
Truth

• He is not of me who, when he speaks, speaks
  falsely who, when he promises, breaks his
  promises and who, when trust is reposed in him,
  fails in his trust.
• Strive always to excel in virtue and truth.
• Say what is true, although it may be bitter and
  displeasing to people.

33
Security of Life

• In his last ceremony, the Prophet said
• "Your lives and properties are forbidden to one
  another till you meet your Lord on the day of
  resurrection.
• Truly your blood, your property, and your honor
  are inviolable.
• The Prophet also said about the non Muslim
  citizens of the Muslim state
• "One who kills a non Muslim under covenant will
  not even smell the fragrance of Paradise, and he
  is my enemy.

34
Acquiring knowledge

• Seeking knowledge is a must on every male and
  female
• "Seek knowledge even though it be in China."
• When a man dies, all his deeds come to an end
  except for three an ongoing charity, beneficial
  knowledge or a righteous son who will pray for
  him.

35
Equality before Law

• The nations that lived before you were
  destroyed by God because they punished the common
  man for their offenses and let their dignitaries
  go unpunished for their crimes I swear by God
  that even if Fatima, my daughter, had committed
  this crime, I would have punished her"

36
Equality of all races

• There is no preference of arab over non arab or
  non arab over an arab, or white over black or
  black over white
• All of you belongs to one single pair of a man
  and a woman

37
Mohamed, the prophet

• I am no more than a man when I order you
  anything regarding religion, receive it and when
  I order you anything about the affairs of the
  world, then I am nothing more than a man
• Zaid, Muhammad's servant, said, "I served
  Muhammad ten years, and he never said 'Uff,' to
  me and never said, 'Why did you do so?' and
  never said, 'Why did you not do so?'"

38
Mohamed, the prophet

• The best of persons in God's sight is the best
  amongst his friends and the best of neighbors
  near God is the best person in his own
  neighborhood.
• A Muslim who mixes with people and puts up with
  their inconveniences, is better than one who does
  not mix with them, and bear with patience.

39
Mohamed, the prophet

• God's pleasure is in a father's pleasure and
  God's displeasure is in a father's displeasure.
• He who wishes to enter Paradise at the best door
  must please his father and mother.
• There is no child, a doer of good to his parents,
  who looked on them with kindness and affection,
  but God will grant with every look the rewards
  for an approved pilgrimage.

40
What did people say about him?
41
ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRITANNICA

• .... A mass of detail in the early sources show
  that he was an honest and upright man who had
  gained the respect and loyalty of others who were
  like-wise honest and upright men." (Vol. 12)

42
GEORGE BERNARD SHAW

• "If any religion had the chance of ruling over
  England, and 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."

43
GEORGE BERNARD SHAW

• "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. (The Genuine Islam Vol.
  1, No. 8, 1936.)

44
MICHAEL H. HART

• Ranked Mohammed first in the list, who
  contributed towards the benefit and uplift of
  mankind"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 thereligious
  and secular levels."
• (M.H. Hart, THE 100 A RANKING OF THE MOST
  INFLUENTIAL PERSONS IN HISTORY, New York, 1978,
  p. 33)

45
LAMAR TINE, the renowned historian, speaking on
the essentials of human greatness wonders
"If greatness of purpose, smallness of means and
astounding results are thethree criteria of
human genius, who could dare to compare any great
man in modern history with Muhammad?
46
La-Martine..

• 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 and 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
  souls....

47
La-Martine..

• His forbearance in victory, his ambition, which
  was entirely devoted to one idea and in no manner
  striving for an empire
• His endless prayers, his mystic conversations
  with God, his death and his triumph after death
• All these attest not to an imposture but to a
  firm conviction which gave him the power to
  restore a dogma.
• This dogma was two-fold, the unity of God and the
  immateriality of God the former telling what God
  is, the latter telling what God is not.

48
(Alphonse de Lamartine, HISTOIRE DE LA TURQUIE,
Paris, 1854, Vol. II, pp 276-277)

• Philosopher, orator, apostle, legislator,
  warrior, conqueror of ideas, restorer of rational
  dogmas, of a cult without images
• The founder of twenty terrestrial empires and of
  one spiritual empire, that is MUHAMMAD.
• As regards all the standards by which Human
  Greatness may be measured, we may well ask
• IS THERE ANY MAN GREATER THAN HE?"

49
EDWARD GIBBON and SIMON OCKLEY

• "'I BELIEVE IN ONE GOD, AND MOHAMMED, AN
  APOSTLE OF GOD' is the simple and invariable
  profession of Islam. The intellectual image of
  the Deity has never been degraded by any visible
  idol the honor of the Prophet has
  nevertransgressed the measure of human virtues
  and his living precepts have restrained the
  gratitude of his disciples within the bounds of
  reason and religion."
• (HISTORY OF THE SARACEN EMPIRES, London, 1870,
  p. 54)

50
The famous poetess of India, SAROJINI NAIDU says

•  "It was the first religion that preached and
  practiced democracy for, in the mosque, when the
  call for prayer is sounded and worshippers are
  gathered together, the democracy of Islam is
  embodied five times a day when the peasant and
  king kneel side by side and proclaim 'God Alone
  is Great'...
• I have been struck over and over again by this
  indivisible unity of Islam that makes man
  instinctively a brother" 
•                 
• (S.Naidu, IDEALS OF ISLAM, vide Speeches
  Writings, Madras, 1918, p. 169)

51
MAHATMA GANDHI Speaking on the character of
Muhammad, says in YOUNG INDIA

• "I wanted to know the best of one who holds
  today's undisputed sway over the hearts of
  millions of mankind..
• I became more than convinced that it was not the
  sword that won a place for Islam in those days in
  the scheme of life.

52
MAHATMA GANDHI

• It was the rigid simplicity, the utter
  self-effacement of the Prophet, the scrupulous
  regard for his 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 2nd volume (of the
  Prophet's biography), I was sorry there was not
  more for me to read of the great life."

53
THOMAS CARLYLE in his HEROES AND HEROWORSHIP,
was simply amazed as to

• "How one man single-handedly, could weld warring
  tribes and wandering Bedouins into a most
  powerful and civilized nation in less than
  twodecades.
• "The lies (Western slander) which well-meaning
  zeal has heaped round this man (Muhammad) are
  disgraceful to ourselves only.
• "A silent great soul, one of that who cannot but
  be earnest. He was to kindle the world, the
  worlds Maker had ordered so."
