Was Prophet Muhammad the most influential man in history?

Question

Considering Jesus was a man?

Christianity has more followers. But it's more like a whole bunch people who *say* they are followers. But Islam has a larger number of Muslim devout who actually *practice* the religion they believe in.

Answer 1

He was voted as the number one.

Since modern Christianity is accredited to PAUL more than Jesus.


“Muhammed was the most successful of all religious personalities.” (Encyclopedia Britannica, 4th & 11th editions)


"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 level." --Michael H. Hart, THE 100: A RANKING OF THE MOST
INFLUENTIAL PERSONS IN HISTORY, New York: Hart Publishing Company, Inc.,
1978, p. 33.

Answer 3

Who is the #7 Ts'ai Lun? This list shows simply that Muslims consider Muhammad a man, whereas Christians consider Jesus not a man.

Answer 4

Ask a book title "MOST INFLUENTIAL MEN IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND - AND THEIR GRADATION
Written by Michael Hart. from your Librarian and check.

He gave # 1 to Prophet Mohammad SAW.

Jesus is #5 in the list.

Michael hart is American Christian not a Muslim.
He has spoken the truth because he is probably more educated than most Christian laymen members of Yahoo Answer full of prejudiced and hatred against Muslims.
Do you hate and prejudice eats up your brain and it reflects in your Answers on this program.

Don't' you guys understand that it is the teachings of Prophet Mohammad which attract all Christians who convert as Muslims.

See the influence of Jesus Christ on you people. Nearly 90% of your girls sleep with the boys long before they get married, most boys and girls are active in sex in high school. Virginity is considered a drwa back by girls themselves instead of pride. In Electric black outs your men start looting the businesses whereas in poor Muslim countries there is black out in most nights and no one loot people or the businesses.

Answer 5

Jesus is alive, the eternal Son of God who brought the Kingdom of God to earth. muhammad was just a criminal, and is now dust.

The number of muslims really means the number of people who are living under the yoke of islamic oppression.

Answer 6

There is no doubt in it !

The greatest crime, the greatest 'sin' of Mohammad in the eyes of the Christian West is that he did not allow himself to be slaughtered, to be 'crucified' by his enemies. He only defended himself, his family and his followers; and finally vanquished his enemies. Mohammad's success is the Christians' gall of disappointment: He did not believe in any vicarious sacrifices for the sins of others. -- [Edward Gibbon]

"The founder of twenty terrestrial empires and of one spiritual empire - that is Muhammed. As regards all standards by which human greatness may be measured, we may well ask, is there any man greater than
he?"Lamartine, Historie de la Turquie, Paris 1854, Vol. 11 pp. 276-277

Answer 7

Actually, I'd have to vote for Moses. He influenced Christianity, Islam, and of course, Judaism. Without Moses, all of us in those groups would be pagans, I suspect :-)

Answer 8

He is one of the most moral influential man in history.

Answer 9

The only Muslims who practice Islam are the ones who follow the Quran's command to kill non-Muslims wherever they find them. Granted there are a lot, but do they outnumber Christians? I doubt it.

Answer 10

Muhammed was born almost 600 years after Christ.

He tried to re-write history and falsify the teachings of Christ by writing the Quran.
Muslims (and Islam) say Jesus was a prophet but they reject all His teachings ...that is hypocrisy...

They deny the divinity of Christ.
they deny his claim to be the Son of God;
they deny his death on the cross...
they deny His ressurrection..
They deny Jesus is the Christ/ Messiah...
In fact, the Quran says: "Allah has no son".
Need I say more...?

Don't be deceived. The Islamic god is totally different than the God of Jesus Christ .

The Bible calls Muhammed and those like him False prophets.....
"Who is a liar but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is anti-Christ, that denies the Father and the Son. He that denies the Son, the same has not the Father." (I John 2:22)
