{UAH} MUHAMMAD(SAW) RANKED THE MOST INFLUENTIAL PERSON IN HISTORY

MUHAMMAD(SAW) RANKED THE MOST INFLUENTIAL PERSON IN HISTORY

Speaking of his own role as the last true Prophet before Judgement Day, he said:'The parable of me in relation to the Prophets who came before me is that of a man who built a house beautifully and well, except that one brick in its corner was missing. The people went around it and wondered at its beauty, but said: "If only that brick were put in its place!" I am that brick, and I am the last of the Prophets.'

Michael H Hart is a non-Muslim historian who published a book ranking the most influential persons in history. In order to be ranked as number one, the person had to fulfill over thirty categories. He published a list of the top 100 most influential people in history which brought about a much heated debate over why our beloved Prophet Muhammad (saw) was ranked as Number One.

Hart wrote:''My choice of Muhammad to lead the list of the world's most influential persons may surprise some readers and be questioned by others, but he was the only man in history who was supremely successful on both the religious and secular levels''. Here is a list of the top ten:
