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