who is the greatest muslim ever (no mythology crucial characters)?

Question

no allah, or muhammad.

and why?

Mavis J: while your statement may technically be correct as many of the muslims mentioned here are in fact dead: Malcom X, muhammad (even though since muhammad is to islam the same way jesus is to christianity, that wasn't exactly in line with my intent- but I admit bieng lazy in writing it specifically for each religion), saladin and I would be willing to bet that there are far more famous muslims dead than alive.

if you want to flame people just create a topic doing so.

Answer 1

There is a long list to choose from. I don't know which field are you referring to.

Therefore I leave it to you to choose the best one.........


".....two of these philosophers who greatly influenced Europian thought, are known as ' Avicenna and Averrose. Avicenna is a Latin corruption of Arabic 'Ibn Sinna'.This man showed the greatness of his soul when he renounced the honoured post of the 'Vazir'in order to devout his time to philosophy and his name is celebrated in several Turkish tales.He wrote on logic, on psychology, on physics and meta-physics and ethics."--[ The Spirit and Struggle of Islam, by Prof. T.L.Vaswani, Ganesh & co., Madras-1921,


" Another muslim philosopher who influenced the thought of middle ages was 'Averroes'- a corruption of Arabic name 'Ibn- Rashid'. He speaks of the 'evolution'of matters in a way which reminds us of the idea developed in Spencers' Synthetic philosophy, he speaks of a soul diffused in the heavens and the earth- an idea which reminds us of what today is called 'pan-psychism', he interprets 'soul' in terms of 'energy', he recognises the unity of philosophy and religion. His commentaries on Aristotle and Plato have been translated into some of the European languages and at one time influenced Christian and Jews thought and some of the non-muslim centres of European culture."--[Ibid]


The basis of the study of optics can be attributed directly to the Muslims. Al-Hassen bin Al-Haythem is considered the founder of this field. He and Al-Beirouni also logically came to the conclusion, in disagreement with Aristotle, that the speed of light is constant and that light is composed of extremely small particles moving at extremely high speeds, which is the basis of the quantum nature of light, an endlessly celebrated tribute to 20th century science". (Mahmoud 112-113; Davies 29).--Davies Paul. "Superforce: The Search for a Grand Unified Theory of Nature". Penguin: London, 1995.


“Khalif (Caliph) Al-Ma'mun's period of rule (813 - 833 C.E.) may be considered the 'golden age' of science and learning. He had always been devoted to books and to learned pursuits. His brilliant mind was interested in every form of intellectual activity. Not only poetry but also philosophy, theology, astronomy, medicine and law all occupied his time...By Mamun's time medical schools were extremely active in Baghdad. The first free public hospital was opened in Baghdad during the Caliphate of Haroon-ar-Rashid. As the system developed, physicians and surgeons were appointed who gave lectures to medical students and issued diplomas to those who were considered qualified to practice. The first hospital in Egypt was opened in 872 AD and thereafter public hospitals sprang up all over the empire from Spain and the Maghrib to Persia.”--(Sir John Bagot Glubb )


"....He (Caliph Haroon Rasheed) never considered to which country a learned person belonged nor his faith and belief, but only his excellence in the field of learning."--(Dr. William Draper in 'History of Intellectual Development of Europe')


"Many proofs of high cultural level of the Ottoman Empire during the reign of Suleiman the Magnificent are to be found in the development of science and law; in the flowering of literary works in Arabic, Persian and Turkish; in the contemporary monuments in Istanbul, Bursa, and Edirne; in the boom in luxury industries; in the sumptuous life of the court and high dignitaries, and last but not least in its religious tolerance. All the various influences - notably Turkish, Byzantine and Italian mingle together and help to make this the most brilliant epoch of the Ottomans."
(Marcel Clerget in 'La Turquie, Passe et Present')


"It will suffice here to evoke a few glorious names without contemporary equivalents in the West: Jabir ibn Haiyan, al-Kindi, al-Khwarizmi, al-Fargani, al-Razi, Thabit ibn Qurra, al-Battani, Hunain ibn Ishaq, al-Farabi, Ibrahim ibn Sinan, al-Masudi, al-Tabari, Abul Wafa, 'Ali ibn Abbas, Abul Qasim, Ibn al-Jazzar, al-Biruni, Ibn Sina, Ibn Yunus, al-Kashi, Ibn al-Haitham, 'Ali Ibn 'Isa al-Ghazali, al-zarqab, Omar Khayyam. A magnificent array of names which it would not be difficult to extend. If anyone tells you that the Middle Ages were scientifically sterile, just quote these men to him, all of whom flourished within a short period, 750 to 1100 A.D."---
John William Draper in the "Intellectual Development of Europe"

Mordern times witness the great sportsman like Mohammad Ali, Zinadin zedan, musician like Amir Khusro, poets like Baba Farid, artists like M.F.Hussein, singers like cat Stevens, etc. etc..........


I am confused, which one is the best.

Answer 2

He is Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch in view that he's a real Jew, any real Jew, christian, muslim or some thing his notion if he's honest he has my vote anyday. I will quote him: Thus, Jews are enjoined to participate in a such a lot precarious balancing act. On the only hand there may be the duty to behave in an sincere, empathetic, dependable and patriotic process in the direction of the country wherein they reside. This duty extends to Jewish members of the family with all peoples dwelling inside the country. On the opposite hand, there's a want for non secular and to a point social isolation with the intention to train the Torah and keep Jewish survival. Inclining too a long way to both part of this dichotomy can influence in so much evil and confusion. In the correct stability, even though, lies the achievement of Jewish fate. And, mixed with the craving for the Messiah, it's the handiest recipe for the arena's salvation. ”

Answer 3

Abu Bakar the successor of Mohammad (Peace be upon him) and the first Califh of Muslims was the greatest Muslim if you are asking amongsts Muslims after Mohammad SAW.

In reality Prophet Abraham, Noah, Moses and Jesus were even greater Muslims than Abu Bakar.

Prophet Mohammad prohibited Muslims comparing him with any Prophet because they all came in different times and had different roles and duties to perform for God.

Michael Hart gave # 1 to Mohammad as the most influtencial man in the history of mankind in his book
"THE MOST INFLUENCIAL MEN IN THE HISTORY"

Muhammed Ali
