on Prophet Muhammad

"If greatness of purpose, smallness of means and astounding results are the three criteria of human genius, who could dare to compare any great man in the modern history with Muhammad?"
- Alphonse de LaMartaine (French Scholar) in Histoire De La Turquie, Paris, 1854

"When I closed the second volume (of the Prophet's biography) I was sorry there was not more for me to read of the great life."
- Mahatma Gandhi in Young India, 1924

"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."
- Michael Hart in The 100, A Ranking of The Most Influential Persons in History, New York, 1978
