I'll just mention a couple to you. There
was an article that came in the Time
Magazine
on the 15th July,
1974.
And the title was
great leaders of history.
And many
people gave their reasoning. Who was the greatest
leader in human history?
Historians gave their views, writers
gave, military men gave, businessmen gave, many people
gave.
1 person,
he gave his reasoning.
His name was
Jules
Masserman.
He was a psychoanalyst,
a professor
in the University of Chicago in USA.
And before he mentions
the great leader of history,
he gives
reasons
that a great leader
should fulfil 3 criteria.
Number 1,
that leader,
number 1, should provide
for the well-being of the led.
Number 2.
He should provide
a social organization
in which
the people will feel secure.
Number 3,
he should provide
a set of
beliefs.
Then,
Jules Massaman,
he gives
a name of few leaders.
He says
that Pasteur and Salk
were great leaders in the first sense.
Gandhi
and Confucius,
on 1 hand,
and Alexander,
Caesar, and Hitler, on the other hand,
were leaders
in the second sense.
Some maybe also in the third sense.
Jesus and Buddha
were only leaders in the 3rd sense.
But
the greatest leader of humankind,
which fulfilled
all 3 senses,
was Muhammad,
peace be upon him. And
Moses to a lesser extent.
Jules Masserman,
a psychoanalyst
from the University of Chicago, USA, he says
that pastures and sulk may be the first
category
they fulfilled. They were leaders
who provided the well-being of the led.
Gandhi
and Confucius
on 1 hand. And Alexander,
Caesar and Hitler on the other hand, they
were
of the second sense.
That means they gave a social organization
in which
the people felt secured, and some extent maybe
second. Some set of beliefs they gave.
Jesus and Buddha,
he says,
only in the third sense, they give a
set of belief. But the greatest leader who
fulfills in all 3 categories, according to Jesus
Messer,
provides
the well-being of the led,
provides a social organization which people feel secure,
provides a set of beliefs,
is Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him.
And Moses to a lesser extent. Maybe I
believe, maybe I think so.
Judas Massaman was a Jew, so he put
Moses also.
And fulfilling
Deuteronomy chapter 18 verse number 18, that Prophet
Muhammad, peace be upon him, is like Moses,
peace be upon him, and Jesus, peace be
upon him, is unlike Moses, peace be upon
him.
There was a book written by a famous
historian by the name of Michael h Hart.
The topic
of that book was
100 most
influential
persons in history.
Right from Adam, peace be upon him, till
the time the book was written, a few
years back.
And number 1,
Michael L. A. Charlie is not a Muslim,
maybe a Jew or a Christian.
He puts number 1,
the most influential human being in the world.
He places prophet Muhammad
Jesus,
number 3.
And he says Jesus and Moses, their influence
put together is no way compared to Prophet
Muhammad, peace be upon him, alone.
George Bernard Shaw.
He says
that if a man was to assume
the dictatorship,
he talks about Prophet Muhammad
Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, a man,
if he assumes the dictatorship
of this modern world,
he will succeed
in solving the problems
of humankind.
And
he would give
the much needed peace and security to this
world. He's talking about Muhammad
That if Prophet Muhammad
was to become a dictator of the modern
world,
he would give the solution to the problems
of humankind,
And would give it peace and security which
is much needed. Allah says in the Quran,
chapter number 46,
verse number 10.
Say,
if this book,
the glorious Quran, is from almighty God, Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, and you reject it after
a messenger
from the Bani Israel, from the children of
Israel, testifies to it.
He believes in it and you are arrogant.
You are unjust.
Allah guides not the unjust.
Surah Qawsar, chapter number 108,
verse number 1 to 3, which says,
Allah Almighty says, to the Prophet Muhammad
we have granted the font of abundance.
So turn to thy Lord in prayer and
sacrifice.
Anyone who hates prophet Muhammad, peace be upon
him, he would be cut off from all
future hopes.
