    نزار قباني
    “إنهم يريدون أن يفتحوا العالم وهم عاجزون عن فتح كتاب
    ويريدون أن يخوضوا البحر وهم يتزحلقون بقطرة ماء
    ويبشرون بثورة ثقافية تحرق الأخضر واليابس ، وثقافتهم لاتتجاوز باب المقهى الذي يجلسون فيه ، وعناوين الكتب المترجمة التي سمعوا عنها”
    نزار قباني, الكتابة عمل انقلابي

    مصطفى محمود
    “واذكر بهذه المناسبة النكتة التي رويت عن تشرشل حينما رأى شاهد مقبرة مكتوبا عليه..
    "هنا يرقد الرجل الصادق والسياسي العظيم"
    هذه اول مرة أرى فيها رجلين يدفنان في تابوت واحد”
    مصطفى محمود, رحلتي من الشك إلى الإيمان

    Leo Tolstoy
    “Muhammad has always been standing higher than the Christianity. He does not consider god as a human being and never makes himself equal to God. Muslims worship nothing except God and Muhammad is his Messenger. There is no any mystery and secret in it.”
    Leo Tolstoy

    “تبسمك في وجه أخيك صدقة، وأمرك بالمعروف صدقة ونهيك عن المنكر صدقة، وإرشادك الرجل في أرض الضلال لك صدقة، ونصرك الرجل الرديء البصر لك صدقة، وإماطتك الحجر والشوك العظم عن الطريق لك صدقة
    Smiling in your brother’s face is an act of charity.
    So is enjoining good and forbidding evil,
    giving directions to the lost traveller,
    aiding the blind and
    removing obstacles from the path.

    (Graded authentic by Ibn Hajar and al-Albani: Hidaayat-ur-Ruwaah, 2/293)”

    Alphonse de Lamartine
    “If greatness of purpose, smallness of means, and astonishing results are the three criteria of a human genius, who could dare compare any great man in history with Muhammad?”
    Alphonse de Lamartine, History of Turkey

    William Montgomery Watt
    “His readiness to undergo persecutions for his beliefs, the high moral character of the men who believed in him and looked up to him as leader, and the greatness of his ultimate achievement - all argue his fundamental integrity. To suppose Muhammad an impostor raises more problems than it solves. Moreover, none of the great figures of history is so poorly appreciated in the West as Muhammad”
    William Montgomery Watt, Muhammad at Mecca

    Thomas Paine
    “Some Christians pretend that Christianity was not established by the sword; but of what period of time do they speak? It was impossible that twelve men could begin with the sword: they had not the power; but no sooner were the professors of Christianity sufficiently powerful to employ the sword than they did so, and the stake and faggot too; and Mahomet could not do it sooner. By the same spirit that Peter cut off the ear of the high priest's servant (if the story be true) he would cut off his head, and the head of his master, had he been able. Besides this, Christianity grounds itself originally upon the [Hebrew] Bible, and the Bible was established altogether by the sword, and that in the worst use of it — not to terrify, but to extirpate. The Jews made no converts: they butchered all. The Bible is the sire of the [New] Testament, and both are called the word of God. The Christians read both books; the ministers preach from both books; and this thing called Christianity is made up of both. It is then false to say that Christianity was not established by the sword.”
    Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason

    “The personality of Muhammad, it is most difficult to get into the whole truth of it. Only a glimpse of it I can catch. What a dramatic succession of picturesque scenes!
    There is Muhammad, the Prophet; there is Muhammad, the Warrior; Muhammad, the Businessman; Muhammad, the
    Statesman; Muhammad, the Orator; Muhammad, the Reformer; Muhammad, the Refuge of Orphans; Muhammad, the Protector
    of Slaves; Muhammad, the Emancipator of Women; Muhammad, the Judge; Muhammad, the Saint. All in all these magnificent roles, in all these departments of human activities, he is
    like a hero.”
    K.S. Ramakrishna Rao

    “People who worry that nuclear weaponry will one day fall in the hands of the Arabs, fail to realize that the Islamic bomb has been dropped already, it fell the day MUHAMMED (pbuh) was born.”
    - Dr. Joseph Adam Pearson.

    “Mohammad never assigned himself a status more than a common man and a messenger of God. People had faith in him when he was surrounded by poverty and adversity and trusted him while he was the ruler of a great Empire. He was a man of spotless
    character who always had confidence in himself and in God's help. No aspect of his life remained hidden nor was his death
    a mysterious event.”
    M.H. Hyndman

    “Muhammad introduced the concept of such Glorious and Omnipotent God in Whose eyes all worldly systems are pieces of straw. Islamic equality of mankind is no fiction as it is in Christianity. No human mind has ever thought of such total freedom as established by Muhammad.”
    Dr. Mawde Royden

    George Bernard Shaw
    “I have very carefully studied Islam and the life of its Prophet (PBUH). I have done so both as a student of history and as a critic. And I have come to conclusion that Muhammad (PBUH) was indeed a great man and a deliverer and benefactor of mankind which was till then writhing under the most agonising Pain.”
    George Bernard Shaw

    “If any religion had a chance of ruling over England, nay Europe within the next hundred years, it could be Islam.”

    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 level.”

    Alphonse de Lamartine
    “Philosopher, orator, apostle, legislator, warrior, conqueror of ideas, restorer of rational dogmas, of a cult without images, the founder of twenty terrestrial empires and of one spiritual empire: that is MUHAMMAD. As regards all the standards by which human greatness may be measured, we may well ask IS THERE ANY MAN GREATER THAN HE?”
    Alphonse de Lamartine, History of Turkey

    Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
    “Like a sculptor, if necessary,
    carve a friend out of stone.
    Realize that your inner sight is blind
    and try to see a treasure in everyone.”
    Rumi Jalalu'l-Din

    Mahatma Gandhi
    “I wanted to know the best of the life of one (Muhammad) who holds today an undisputed sway over the hearts of millions of mankind. I became more than ever convinced that it was not the sword that won a place for Islam in those days in the scheme of life. It was the rigid simplicity, the utter self-effacement of the Prophet the scrupulous regard for pledges, his intense devotion to his friends and followers, his intrepidity, his fearlessness, his absolute trust in God and in his own mission. These and not the sword carried everything before them and surmounted every obstacle.”
    Mahatma Gandhi

    Thomas Carlyle
    “It is a great shame for anyone to listen to the accusation that Islam is a lie and that Muhammad was a fabricator and a deceiver. We saw that he remained steadfast upon his principles, with firm determination; kind and generous, compassionate, pious, virtuous, with real manhood, hardworking and sincere. Besides all these qualities, he was lenient with others, tolerant, kind, cheerful and praiseworthy and perhaps he would joke and tease his companions. He was just, truthful, smart, pure, magnanimous and present-minded; his face was radiant as if he had lights within him to illuminate the darkest of nights; he was a great man by nature who was not educated in a school nor nurtured by a teacher as he was not in need of any of this.”
    Thomas Carlyle, On Heroes, Hero Worship and the Heroic in History

    Will Durant
    “If we rated greatness by the influence of the great, we will say "Muhammad is the greatest of the great in history”
