religion decreed for Noah, and what we
inspired to you (Muhammad), and what
we decreed for Abraham, Moses, Jesus:“You shall uphold the one religion, and
do not divide it.” The idol worshippers
will greatly resent what you invite them
to do. Allah redeems to Himself whomever he wills: He guides to Himself
those who turn (to Him).

“Falwell's comments are problematic for many
reasons, not least with regard to historical
accuracy. Muhammad forbade murder and the
killing of innocents, and never used terror as a
weapon in his struggles against his aggressive
pagan enemies. Far from glorifying aggression,
the Koran says (2:190), "Fight in the way of
God against those who fight against you, but
do not begin hostilities, for God does not loveaggressors.“

Asian history at the University of Michigan and

"He must be called the Savior of Humanity. I believethat if a man like him were to assume the dictatorship

"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?"

MAHATMA GANDHI , speaking on the character of Muhammad,
(PBUH) says in YOUNG INDIA: "I wanted to know the best of one
who holds today's undisputed sway over the hearts of millions of
mankind.... I became more than 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 his pledges, his intense
devotion to this 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. When I closed the 2nd volume (of the
Prophet's biography), I was sorry there was not more for me to
read of the great life."

“We did created the human from a pith of clay: Then We placed him as a drop of sperm in a place
of rest firmly fixed (i.e womb).
Then We made the sperm into a clot of congealed blood. Then of that clot We made a lump. ThenWe made out of the lump bones and clothed the
bones with flesh.
Then We developed out of it another creature. So blessed be Allah the best to create.
after that, you will die.

they fight you, slay them. Such is the reward of those who suppress faith.
