Muhammad^sa in the Eyes of Scholars

Michael H. Hart

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 the religious and secular levels. [The 100: A Ranking of the Most Influential Persons in History]

Montgomery Watt

The more one reflects on the history of Muhammad and of early Islam, the more one is amazed at the vastness of his achievements ... study of his life may contribute to a fresh appraisal and appreciation of one of the greatest of the sons of Adam. [Muhammad at Madinah]

Karen Armstrong

If we could view Muhammad as we do any other important historical figure we would surely consider him to be one of the greatest geniuses the world has known. [Muhammad - A Biography of the Prophet]
