Birth of Muhammad:
"Four years after the death of Justinian ,569 A.D , was born at Mecca in Arabia , The Man(Muhammad(PBUH)) who , of all men , has exercised the greatest influence upon the human race."

Muhammad's Youth:
"The Youth of Muhammad(PBUH) was a modesty of deportment and purity of manners rare among the people of Mecca .Endowed with a refined mind and delicate taste , reserved and mediative , he lived much within himself , and the ponderings of his heart no doubt supplied occupation for leisure hours spent by others of a lower stamp in rude sports and profligacy. The fair Character and Honorable bearing of the unobtrusive youth won the approbation of his fellow-citizens ;and He received the title by common consent of Al-Ameen ,The Trustworthy and Saddiq ,The Truth Speaker. Orphaned at birth , He was always particularly solicitous of the poor and the needy , the widow and the orphan , the slave and the downtrodden. At twenty he was already a successful business man and soon became director of camel caravans for the wealthy widow . When he reached twenty-five his employer , recognizing his merit ,proposed marriage . Even though she was fifteen years the older, but He married Her , and as long as she lived remained a devoted husband.

Personality and Character :
Muhammad(PBUH) was of middle height , rather thin but broad of shoulder , wide of chest, strong of bone and muscle . His head was massive , strongly developed . Dark hair, slightly curled ,flowed in a dense mass almost to his shoulders. His face was oval-shaped , slightly tawny of color . Fine long arched eye-brows were divided by a vein , which throbbed visibly in moments of passion. Great black restless eyes shone out from under long heavy eyelashes. His nose was large , slightly aquiline. His Teeth upon which he bestowed great care were well set, dazzling white. A full beard framed his manly face. His skin was clear and soft , His complexion 'red and white'. His hands were as 'silk and satin', even as thode of a woman. His step was quick and elastic, yet firm as that of one who steps ' from a high to low place'. In turning his face , he would also turn his whole body . His whole gait and presence was dignified and imposing . His countenance was mild and pensive . His Laugh was rarely more than a smile. In his habits he was extremely Simple , although He bestowed great care on his person. His eating and drinking , his dress and his furniture retained , even when he had reached the fullness of power , their almost primitive nature. The only luxuries he indulged in were arms , which he highly prized, and a pair of yellow boots , a present from the Negus of Abyssinnia.Perfumes , however, he loves passionately , being most sensitive to smells . Strong drink he abhorred. He was gifted with mighty powers of imagination elevation of mind, delicacy and refinement of feeling. He is more modest than a virgin behind her curtain, it was said of him .Hw was most indulgent to his inferiors and would never allow his little page to be scolded whatever he did.

"He was the most faithful protector of those who protected, the sweetest and most agreeable in conversation. Those who saw him were suddenly filled with reverence; those who came near him loved him; they who described him would say,' I have never seen his like either before or after'. He was of great taciturnity, but when he spoke it was with emphasis and deliberation and no one could forget what he said. "He lived with is wives in a row o humble cottages separated from one another by palm-branches, cemented together with mud. He would kindle the fire, sweep the floor, and milk the goats himself. The little food he had was always shared with those who dropped in to partake of it. Indeed outside the Prophet's house was a bench of a gallery, on which were always found a number of poor who lived entirely upon his generosity, and were hence called 'the people of the bench'. His ordinary food was dates and water, or barley bread; milk and honey were luxuries of which he was fond, but which he rarely allowed himself. The fare of the desert seemed most congenial to him even when he was sovereign of Arabia.

"There is something so tender and womanly, and withal so heroic, about the man, tht one is peril of finding the judgments unconsciously blinded by the feeling of reverence, and well-night love, that such a nature inspires. He who, standing alone, braved for years the hatred of his hand from another's clasp; the beloved of children, who never passed a group of little ones without a smile from his wonderful eyes and kind word for them, sounding all the kinder in that sweet-toned voice. The frank friendship, the noble generosity, the dauntless courage and hope of the man, all tend to melt criticism into admiration. "He was an enthusiast in that noblest sense when enthusiasm becomes the salt of the earth, the one thing that keep men from rotting whilst they live. Enthusiasm is often used despitefully, because it is joined to an unworthy cause, or falls upon barren ground and bears no fruit. So was it not with Mohammad. He was an enthusiast when enthusiasm was the one thing needed to set the world aflame, and his enthusiasm was noble for a noble cause. He was one of those happy few who have attained the supreme joy of making one great truth their very life-spring. He was the messenger of the one God, and never to his life's end did he forget who he was of the message which was the marrow of his being. He brought his tidings to his people with a grand dignity sprung from the consciousness of his high office together with a most sweet humility."

"His ( i.e., Muhammad's) politeness to the great, his affability to the humble, and his dignified bearing to the presumptuous, procured him respect, admiration and applause. His talents were equally fitted for persuasion or command. Deeply read in the volume of naure,though entirely ignorant of letters, his mind could expand into controversy with the acutest of his enemies, or contract itself to the apprehension of the meanest of his disciples. His simple eloquence, rendered impressive by the expression of a countenance wherein awfulness of majesty was tempered by an amiable sweetness, excited emotion of veneration and love; and he was gifted with the authoritative air of genius which alike influences the learned and commands the illiterate. As a friend and a parent, he exhibited the softest feelings of nature; but, while in possession of the kind and generous emotions of the heart, and engaged in the discharge of most of the social and domestic duties, he distracted not his assumed title of and apostle of God. With all that simplicity which is so natural to a great mind, he performed the humblest offices whose homeliness it would be idle to conceal with pompous diction; even while Lord of Arabia, he mended his own shoes and coarse woolen garments, milked the ewes, swept the hearth, and kindled the fire. Dates and water were his usual fare and milk and homey his luxuries. When he traveled he divided his morsel with his servant. The sincerity of his exhortations to benevolence was justified at his death by the exhausted state of his coffers."

"Mohammad....despised grandeur, and lived on principle an extremely frugal life, though he was no ascetic....He is reputed to have behaved very simply, and there is nor reason for not supposing that he did. He performed him to wear either gold of silk."

"His deportment, in general, was calm and equable; he....was grave and dignified, though he is said to have possessed a smile of captivating sweetness. His complexion was more ruddy than is usual with Arabs, and in his excited and enthusiastic moments there was a glow and radiance in his countenance, which his disciples magnified into the supernatural light of prophecy.

"His intellectual qualities were undoubtedly of an extraordinary kind. He had a quick apprehension, a retentive memory, a vivid imagination and an inventive genius.

"He was sober and abstemious in his diet, and a rigorous observer of fasts. He indulged in no magnificence of apparel, the ostentation of a petty mind; neither was his simplicity in dress affected but a result of real disregard for distivstion forms o trivial a source.

"In his private dealing he was just. He treated friends and strangers, the rich and the poor, the powerful and the weak, with equity, and was loved by the common people for the affability with which he received them, and listened to their complaints.

"His military triumphs awakened no pride nor vain glory, as they would have done had they been effected for selfish purposes. In the time of his greatest power he maintained the same simplicity of manners and appearance as in the days of his adversity. So far from affecting a regal state, he was displeased if, on entering a room, any unusual testimonials of respect were shown to him. If he aimed at universal dominion, it was the dominion of the faith; as to the temporal rule which grew up in his hands, as he used it without ostentation, so he took no step to perpetuate it in his family."

"Mahomet himself, after all that can be said about him, was not a sensual man....His household was of the frugalest; his common diet barley-bread and water; sometimes for months there was not a fire once lighted on his hearth. They record with just pride that he would mend his own shoes, patch his own cloak ....careless of what vulgar men toil for ...something better in him than hunger of any sort, or these wild Arab men, fighting and jostling three-and-twenty years at his hand, in close contact with him always, would not have reverenced him so! They were wild men, bursting ever and anon with quarrel, with all kinds of fierce sincerity; without right worth and manhood, no man could have commanded them.....No emperor with his tiaras was obeyed as this man in a cloak of his own clouting. During three-and-twenty years of rough actual trial, I find something of a veritable hero necessary for that myself."

"His (i.e., Muhammad's) memory was capacious and retentive, his wit easy and social, his imagination sublime, his judgment clear, rapid and decisive. He possessed the cottage of both thought and action; and ...the first idea which he entertained of his divine mission bears the stamp of an original and superior genius."

"Head of the state as well as of the Church", remarks Bosworth Smith, "he was Caesar and Pope in one; but he was Pope without Pope's pretensions, Caesar without the legions of Caesar. Without a standing army, without a body-guard, without a palace, without a fixed revenue, if ever any man had the right to say that he ruled by the right divine, it was Mohammad, for he had all the power without its instruments and without its supports, He rose superior to the title and ceremonies, the solemn trifling, and the proud humility of court etiquette. To hereditary kings, to princes born in the purple, these things are naturally enough as the breath of life; but those who ought to have known better, even self-made rulers, and those the foremost in the files of time--- a Caesar, a Cromwell, a Napoleon, have been unable to resist their tinsel attractions. Mohammad was content with the reality; he cared not for the dressings of power. The simplicity of his private life was in keeping with his public life. 'God', says Al-Bokhari, 'offered him the keys of the treasures of the earth, but he would not accept them'."

"Never has a man set for himself, voluntarily or involuntarily, a more sublime aim, since third aim was superhuman: to subvert superstitions which had been interposed between man and his Creator; to render God unto man and man unto God; to restore the rational and sacred idea of divinity amidst the chaos of the material and disfigured gods of idolatry, then existing. Never has a man undertaken a work so far beyond human power with so feeble means, for he (Muhammad) had in the conception as well as in the execution of such a great design no other instrument than himself, and no other side, except a handful of men living in a corner of the desert. Finally, never has a man accomplished such a huge and lasting revolution in the world, because in less than two centuries after its appearance, Islam in faith and in arms, reigned over the whole of Arabia, conquered, in God's name, Persia,Khorasan, Transoxania, Western India, Syria, Egypt,Abyssinia, all the continent of Northern Africa,numerious islands of the Mediterranean, Spain, and a part of Gaul.

"If greatness of purpose, smallness of means, and astounding results are the three criteria of human genius, who could dare to compare any great man in modern history with Muhammad? The most famous men created arms, law and empires only. They founded, if anything at all, no more than material powers which often crumbled away before their eyes.
