The 100:A Ranking Of The Most Influential Persons In History(baptist Priest) by tola9ja: 8:35pm On Feb 26, 2015
The 100: A Ranking of the Most Influential Persons in History is a 1978 book by Michael H. Hart, a self-described white separatist.[1] reprinted in 1992 with revisions. It is a ranking of the 100 people who, according to Hart, most influenced human history.[2]

The first person on Hart's list is the Prophet of Islam Muhammad,[3] a selection that generated some controversy.[4] Hart asserted

that Muhammad was "supremely successful" in both the religious and secular realms. He also believed that Muhammad's role in the

development of Islam was far more influential than Jesus' collaboration in the development of Christianity
. He attributes the

development of Christianity to St. Paul, who played a pivotal role in its dissemination.

The 1992 revisions included the demotion of figures associated with Communism, such as Vladimir Lenin and Mao Zedong, and the

introduction of Mikhail Gorbachev. Hart took sides in the Shakespearean authorship issue and substituted Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford

for William Shakespeare. Hart also substituted Niels Bohr and Henri Becquerel with Ernest Rutherford, thus correcting an error in the first

edition. Henry Ford was also promoted from the "Honorary Mentions" list, replacing Pablo Picasso. Finally, some of the rankings were

re-ordered, although no one listed in the top ten changed position.

Hart wrote another book in 1999, entitled A View from the Year 3000,[5] voiced in the perspective of a person from that future year and

ranking the most influential people in history. Roughly half of those entries are fictional people from 2000–3000, but the remainder are actual

people. These were taken mostly from the 1992 edition, with some re-ranking of order.

Hart's work shows both similarities and differences in thrust from Skiena and Ward's 2013 book Who's Bigger: Where Historical Figures Really

Rank. Hart and Skiena & Ward both put two religious figures in the top three (Hart has Mohammed first, Jesus third; Skiena & Ward the

converse), but second place in Hart's ranking goes to a scientist (Isaac Newton) while Skiena & Ward place a soldier (Napoleon) second. And

in fact Hart tends to favor people of ideas and invention (Albert Einstein, Cai Lun, Buddha, Paul of Tarsus, Johannes Gutenberg, and Confucius

join Newton in his top ten) while Skiena & Ward tend somewhat more toward people who commanded states and armies (George

Washington, Adolf Hitler, Abraham Lincoln, and Alexander the Great join Napoleon in their top ten, although they also rank Aristotle and

Shakespeare highly).[6][2]

THE SAYINGS OF GREAT THINKERS ABOUT MUHAMMAD (PBUH)

"personality of Muhammad, it is most difficult to get into the whole truth of it. Only a glimpse of it I can catch. What a dramatic succession of picturesque scenes!
There is Muhammad, the Prophet; there is Muhammad, the Warrior; Muhammad, the Businessman; Muhammad, the
Statesman; Muhammad, the Orator; Muhammad, the Reformer; Muhammad, the Refuge of Orphans; Muhammad, the Protector
of Slaves; Muhammad, the Emancipator of Women; Muhammad, the Judge; Muhammad, the Saint. All in all these magnificent roles, in all these departments of human activities, he is
like a hero.”
― K.S. Ramakrishna Rao, Indian Philosopher, Educationist and Researcher


“Among leaders who have made the greatest impact through ages, I would consider Muhammad before Jesus Christ.”
― James Gavin, American Author, Journalist, Lecturer and Biographer


“He laid the foundation of a universal government. His law was one for all. Equal justice and love for everyone.”
― George Rivorie

“If I were in his(Prophet Muhammad) presence, I would wash his feet.”
― Hercules- The Great Roman Emperor

“If we rated greatness by the influence of the great on people, we will say “Muhammad is the greatest of the great in history.”
-- Will Durant, American Writer, Historian and Philosopher. Author of the story of civilization.

THE SAYINGS OF GREAT THINKERS ABOUT MUHAMMAD (PBUH) Cont'd

"Philosopher, orator, apostle, legislator, warrior, conqueror of ideas, restorer of rational dogmas, of a cult without images, the founder of twenty terrestrial empires and of one spiritual empire: that is MUHAMMAD. As regards all the standards by which human greatness may be measured, we may well ask IS THERE ANY MAN GREATER THAN HE?”
― Alphonse de Lamartine, French Philosopher

“The lies (Western slander) which well-meaning zeal has heaped round this man (Muhammad) are disgraceful to ourselves only.”
― Thomas Carlyle, Scottish Philosopher, Writer, Essayist and Teacher
“His readiness to undergo persecutions for his beliefs, the high moral character of the men who believed in him and looked up to him as leader, and the greatness of his ultimate achievement - all argue his fundamental integrity. To suppose Muhammad an impostor raises more problems than it solves. Moreover, none of the great figures of history is so poorly appreciated in the West as Muhammad”
― William Montgomery Watt, Scottish Historian

“Muhammad introduced the concept of such Glorious and Omnipotent God in Whose eyes all worldly systems are pieces of straw. Islamic equality of mankind is no fiction as it is in Christianity. No human mind has ever thought of such total freedom as established by Muhammad.”
―Dr. Mawde Royden
