00:00:01 --> 00:00:04
			Many of the critics of Islam they
say, Prophet Muhammad peace be
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:07
			upon him. He lied that he was not
the author of the Glorious Quran
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:12
			and he said that Almighty God was
and he did this for power, status,
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:13
			glory, leadership, etc.
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:19
			Michael chart. He writes in his
book, The 100 most influential
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:23
			human beings, and he gives ranking
to the human beings right from
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:26
			Adam peace be upon him, till the
present human being, and he gives
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:30
			Prophet Muhammad peace be upon the
number one position, and he gives
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:33
			Jesus Christ peace be upon him,
the third position, and Moses
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:37
			Peace be upon in the 15th
position. Why would Michael Hart
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:40
			want to disappoint the questions
by giving Prophet Muhammad peace
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:44
			be upon the number one position?
In fact, Michael HRT says that
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:48
			this human being, it undisputedly,
makes him the most influential
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:52
			human being on the face of the
earth. And Michael HRT says, that
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:56
			Prophet Muhammad peace be upon
him. He was supremely successful
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:59
			on both the fronts on villages and
secular fronts.
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:03
			And another Frenchman, by the name
of Lamartine.
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:08
			He writes in his book, and he
says, Prophet Muhammad peace be
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:11
			upon him, he was the number one
hero of all times this clearly
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:14
			proves that Prophet Muhammad peace
be upon him who did not crave
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:18
			power, status, glory, leadership,
etc.
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:22
			And Prophet Muhammad peace be upon
him, he had all the qualities he
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:26
			was so eloquent, he could not have
been false we attribute the Quran
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:31
			to Allah subhanaw taala. And if we
analyze any human being who tends
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:35
			to live a luxurious life, who
lives for status, leadership,
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:40
			glory, etc. With him is always
attached good food, fancy clothes,
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:45
			monument replaces magnificent
palaces, Gods etc. But if you look
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47
			at the lifestyle of a beloved
Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:51
			wa sallam, he led a very simple
life. He sat on the floor and he
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:54
			ate, he went to the market and did
his own business, he did not have
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:55
			any colorful gods.
		
00:01:56 --> 00:02:00
			He even accepted the invitation of
the poor people. He used to mend
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:05
			his own clothes, he used to repair
his own shoes. His was an
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:08
			extraordinary example of
simplicity and humbleness.
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:14
			And awareness incidents is proving
this. It is mentioned without by
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:18
			chapter number nine was Psalm 61.
That Oh, he listens to everyone
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:22
			the enemies of the Prophet
sallallahu ala Sunday was so angry
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:25
			that he listened to each and every
human beings even to the poor
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:25
			people.
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:30
			And there are many incidences one
incidence is When Akbar one of the
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:33
			representatives of the McKinsey
came to the Prophet sallallahu
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:36
			alayhi wa sallam, and he said,
that we will make you the king of
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:40
			Arabia, we will make you the
richest man in Arabia, we will
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:44
			marry you to the best of woman,
but only thing you do is top
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:45
			propagating this message.
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:49
			If the Prophet salallahu Alaihe
Salam, if he wanted leadership,
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:52
			you could have easily accepted the
offer. And later on the ventouse
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:56
			uncle Abu Talib, and they told him
that ask your nephew to stop
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:59
			propagating his message. So the
Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam, he
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:03
			replies and says that pal them,
even if they put the sun in my
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:07
			right hand and the more than my
left hand, yet I will not stop
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:11
			propagating this message. So this
clearly proves Prophet Muhammad
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:16
			peace be upon him. He did not
crave for desire, glory,
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:17
			leadership, etc.
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:21
			And when the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam, his son Ibrahim,
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:25
			he expired. This coincided with
the Eclipse.
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:29
			So the people they said, Ah, this
is a sign from Allah subhanaw
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:32
			taala. The Prophet Sal has
expired, and there's an eclipse
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:36
			the Prophet salallahu alayhi salam
immediately said that the sun in
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:40
			the moon that signs of Allah did
not eclipse on the birth or death
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:44
			of any person. For when you see
them glorify Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:48
			this was a golden opportunity, a
key moment if the Prophet
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:51
			sallallahu alayhi wa sallam if you
want to lead a ship, you could
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:55
			have easily told that the eclipses
due to the death of my son. But
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:58
			this clearly proves the Prophet
Muhammad peace be upon him. He did
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:01
			not create for the leadership,
Glory etc.
