The Amazing Prophet (PBUH)

摘要

Every year on 12th of Rabi-ul-Awal (Islamic lunar month) majority of Muslims all over the world celebrate the birth of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) as a token of love. This year coincidently this event was on 12-12-2016. Muslims love their Prophet more than anyone else. He had such an amazing personality that even his arch rivals had to respect him. Ifs the miracle of his humanity, humbleness and strength of character which makes him an outstanding honourable personality, the world over. Traditionally the miracles have been considered as a proof of Prophethood. These miracles did not have lasting effects, at times even those witnessing them denied them calling it magic or sorcery. The people of later generations consider them fairy tales. Quran and the great amazing personality of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) well recorded and preserved in history stands as testimony to his prorehthood. The Muslims revere their Prophet (peace be upon him), it is normal for followers of any faith to respect the founder of their faith. However Michael H. Hart (born 1932) is an American astrophysicist and author, who is not a Muslim. Hart's first book was The 100: A Ranking of the Most Influential Persons in History" (1978), which has sold around million copies and been translated into 15 languages. The first person on Hart's list was Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), chosen over Jesus Christ or Moses (peace be upon them). Hart attributes this to the fact that Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was "supremely successful" in both the religious and secular realms. He also accredits Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) for his role in the development of Islam, far more influential than Jesus' contribution to the development of Christianity. Hart claims that St. Paul was more pivotal than Jesus to the growth of Christianity. Selection from his writing is reproduced with minor modifications: "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 levels. Of humble origins, Muhammad founded and promulgated one of the world's great religions,I and became an immensely effective political leader. Today, thirteen centuries after his death, his influence is still powerful and pervasive. The majority of the persons in this book had the advantage of being born and raised in centers of civilization, highly cultured or politically pivotal nations. Muhammad, however, was born in the year 570, in the city of Mecca, in southern Arabia, at that time a backward area of the world, far from the centers of trade, art, and learning. Orphaned at age six, he was reared in modest surroundings. Islamic tradition tells us that he was illiterate. His economic position improved when, at age twenty-five, he married a wealthy widow. Nevertheless, as he approached forty, there was little outward indication that he was a remarkable person. Most Arabs at that time were pagans, who believed in many gods. There were, however, in Mecca, a small number of Jews and Christians. When he was forty years old, Muhammad became convinced that this one true God (Allah) was speaking to him, and had chosen him to spread the true faith. For three years, Muhammad preached only to close friends and associates. Then, about 613, he began preaching in public. As he slowly gained converts, the Meccan authorities came to consider him &' dangerous nuisance. In 622, fearing for his safety, Muhammad fled to Medina (a city some 200 miles north of Mecca), where he had been offered a position of considerable political power. This flight, called the Hegira, was the turning point of the Prophet's life. In Mecca, he had had few followers. In Medina, he had many more, and he soon acquired an influence that made him an absolute ruler (king). During the next few years, while Muhammad's following grew rapidly, a series of battles were fought between Medina and Mecca. This was ended in 630 with Muhammad's triumphant return to Mecca as conqueror. The remaining two and one-half years of his life witnessed the rapid conversion of the Arab tribes to the new religion."

Hart，1932年生）是美国天体物理学家和作家，他不是穆斯林。哈特的第一本书是《 100：历史上最有影响力的人物排名》（1978年），已售出约一百万册并被翻译成15种语言。哈特榜单上的第一人是先知穆罕默德（pbuh），他被选为耶稣基督或摩西（愿他们安息）哈特将其归因于先知穆罕默德（pbuh）在宗教和世俗领域都“极为成功”，他还赞扬了先知穆罕默德（pbuh）在宗教发展方面的作用。伊斯兰教，远远高于耶稣的基督教哈特的权利要求的发展贡献更多的有影响力的圣保禄比耶稣更关键的，从他的著作转载稍作修改基督教选择的发展：“我选择穆罕默德的引领世界上最有影响力的人的名单可能会让某些读者感到惊讶，也可能会受到其他人的质疑，但是他是历史上唯一在宗教和世俗层面上都取得最大成功的人。穆罕默德（穆罕默德）出身卑微，创立并颁布了世界上最伟大的宗教之一，并成为了极为有效的政治领袖。今天，在他去世十三个世纪之后，他的影响力仍然强大而无处不在。本书中的大多数人都有在文明中心，文化高度发达或政治上举足轻重的国家出生和成长的优势。然而，穆罕默德（Muhammad）于570年出生在阿拉伯南部的麦加市，当时是世界落后地区，远离贸易，艺术和学习中心。他六岁时成为孤儿，在温和的环境中饲养。伊斯兰传统告诉我们他是文盲。当他25岁时嫁给了一个富有的寡妇时，他的经济状况得到了改善。然而，当他快四十岁时，几乎没有外在迹象表明他是一个了不起的人。当时大多数阿拉伯人是异教徒，他们信仰许多神灵。但是，在麦加，只有少数犹太人和基督徒。穆罕默德四十岁那年，他确信这个真神（阿拉）正在对他说话，并选择了他来传播真信仰。三年来，穆罕默德只向亲密的朋友和同事传教。然后，大约613，他开始在公共场合讲道。当他慢慢获得convert依时，麦加当局开始考虑他＆的危险滋扰。 622年，穆罕默德担心自己的安全，逃到麦地那（麦加以北约200英里的城市），在那里他被赋予了相当大的政治权力。这次飞行被称为Hegira，是先知生命的转折点。在麦加，他的追随者很少。在麦地那（Medina），他拥有更多，并且很快获得了影响，使他成为绝对的统治者（国王）。在接下来的几年中，虽然穆罕默德的追随者迅速增长，但麦地那和麦加之间发生了一系列战斗。穆罕默德（Muhammad）以征服者的身份凯旋回到麦加（630），到630年结束。在他余下的两年半中，见证了阿拉伯部落迅速转变为新宗教。”
