The Greatness of Prophet Muhammad (SAW)
As a General: G.M. Draycott says in his Life of Mohammad:
Continually the master of his circumstances, whom no emergency could find unprepared, whose confidence in himself nothing could shake, and who by virtue of his enthusiasm and ceaseless activity wrested his triumphs from the hands of his
enemies.
As a Statesman: S.P. Scott writes in his monumental History of the Moorish Empire in Europe, Vol. I:
Rather may these results be designated the operations of a master-mind actuated by lofty ambition; a mind capable of solving the most perplexing questions of statecraft, and endowed with a degree of political wisdom not often exhibited by even those whom the voice of history has invested with the proud title of "artificers of
nations."
As an Administrator: W. Montgomery Watt writes in his book, Muhammad, Prophet and Statesman:
There is his skill and tact as an administrator and his wisdom in the choice of men to whom to delegate administrative details. Sound institutions and a sound policy will not go far if the execution of affairs is faulty and fumbling. When Muhammad died, the state he founded was a "going concern," able to withstand the shock of his removal and, once it had recovered from the shock, to expand at prodigious
speed.
As a Just Ruler: Sir William Murir writes in his Life of Mahomet:
In the exercise of a power absolutely dictatorial, Mahomet was just and temperate. Nor was he wanting in moderation towards his
enemies.
As a Genius: Charless Mills writes in his History of Mohammedanism:
Deeply read in the volume of nature though extremely ignorant of letters, his [the Prophet’s] mind could expand into controversy with the wisest of his enemies, or contract itself to the apprehension of the meanest of his disciples. His simple eloquence was rendered impressive by a manner of mixed dignity and elegance, by the expression of a countenance wherein the awfulness of majesty was so well-tempered by an amiable sweetness that it excited emotions of veneration and love; and he was gifted with that authoritative air of genius which alike influences the learned and commands the
illiterate.
As a Born Leader of Men: Arthur N. Wollaston writes in Half-Hours with Muhammad:
He had command over the hearts of men such as has never been surpassed, rarely indeed equaled in the history of
mankind.
