What Do They Say About Muhammad?




George Bernard Shaw in The Genuine Islam said:
"I have always held the religion of Muhammad in high estimation because
of its wonderful vitality. It is the only religion which appears to possess that
assimilating capability to the changing phases of existence which make
itself appeal to every age - I have prophesized about the faith of Muhammad
that it would be acceptable tomorrow as it is beginning to be acceptable
to the Europe of today. Medieval ecclesiastics, either through ignorance
or bigotry, painted Mohammedanism in the darkest colors. They were, in
fact, trained to hate both the man Muhammad and his religion. To them,
Muhammad was an anti-Christ. I have studied him, the wonderful man, and
in my opinion, far from being an anti-Christ, he must be called the Savior of
humanity."2


Annie Besant3 in The Life and Teachings of Mohammad, said:


It is impossible for anyone who studies the life and character of the
great Prophet of Arabia, who knew how he taught and how he lived, to feel
anything but reverence for the mighty Prophet, one of the great messengers
of the Supreme. And although in what I put to you I shall say many things
which may be familiar to many, yet I myself feel, whenever I reread them,
a new way of admiration, a new sense of reverence for that mighty Arabian
teacher.
