Muhammad In Top 100

Muhammad In Top 100

Fresh Home-made Story by Faz Zulkifli

Today I wanna share about a non-Muslim who acknowledged the Prophet Muhammad SAW as the FIRST most influential people among 100 others. He actually set aside his lord, Isa Alaihi Salam! From his book, The 100: A Ranking of the Most Influential Persons in History, the list of names and their ranks are solely the work of a person called Michael H. Hart

The Prophet Muhammad SAW, Isa Alaihi Salam, Musa Alaihi Salam & Umar Ibn al-Khattab are among those being listed. As a Muslim, we should be proud! ;] We know Muslims will forever acknowledged Muhammad as their top personality but it’s hard to find a non-Muslim do the same thing. Our Prophet Muhammad SAW beat those big names the world kept talking about; Albert Einstein, Buddha, Isaac Newton and all those giant figures lah.

The original list from 1-10. Full list HERE.

1. Muhammad
2. Isaac Newton
3. Jesus Christ
4. Buddha
5. Confucius
6. St. Paul
7. Ts’ai Lun
8. Johann Gutenberg
9. Christopher Columbus
10. Albert Einstein

Of course there are arguments about why Muhammad being placed on top especially at a higher place than Jesus. Here are reasons why Muhammad (not Jesus) should beranked as most influential person in history.

“Furthermore, Muhammad (unlike Jesus) was a secular as well as a religious leader. In fact, as the driving force behind the Arab conquests, he may well rank as the most influential political leader of all time..the Arab conquests of the seventh century have continued to play an important role in human history, down to the present day. It is this unparalleled combination of secular and religious influence which I feel entitles Muhammad to be considered the most influential single figure in human history.” – Michael Hart

It is better for Muslims to have Muslim as a role model. Beside, we will be assured that their doings are in the way of Islam. Plus, their words will always follow what the Quran taught us to do. Following the Sunnah as their way of life. This book of Hart proved that we don’t need to go far praising non-Muslims as we also have our great personalities, intellectuals and leaders.

Set your mind back to the history of Tanah Melayu. Malays rose gradually after the arrival of Islam. Islam is a great religion indeed.

P/S: Didn’t I say, Rasulullah is superstar!!!
