What do you think of this author who rated Muhammad (PBUH) as the top?
"MICHAEL H. HART in his recently published book on ratings of men who contributed towards the benefit and upliftment of mankind writes:
"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."
(M.H. Hart, THE 100: A RANKING OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL PERSONS IN HISTORY, New York, 1978, p. 33)"

I have this book & I agree with the author. I dare anyone say anything that Muhammad (PBUH) did that was wrong. He was lead by God & his angels, how can a man go wrong? Did you know that in the first battle in Islam (Battle of Bard), Allah sent his angels to fight with the Muslims? Talking about a miracle, Muslims had their first victory over 1300 from Quraish while they were near 134 Muslims only.

Author of Genesis.
Please remember, without Genesis, no Judaism, Christianity or Islam.

Jesus is truly the most influential entity that has ever lived. No one "person" has ever even come close to his influence. However, the other larger than life religious leaders are VERY influential as well.

This really is a subjective thing. I would go with Socrates. As the father of western philosophy he influenced the development of logical thought, mathematics, and western religion.

Number One Of All : Jesus Christ
No human on earth has had the greatest influence than the begotten Son of God. Muhammad was even influenced by him. Christ even influenced how we date our years.
Jesus has a place in Islam but Mohammad has no place in Christianity thus not affecting the largest religion of Christendom.

Gutenberg. Without mass printing, no one would have any of those books in the first place.

Very interesting & he's probably right, as Muhammad has done more for more people than any previous 'prophet' or 'messiah'.
