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 levels. Of humble origins, Muhammad founded and promulgated one of the world’s great religions and became an immensely effective political leader. Today, thirteen centuries after his death, his influence is still powerful and pervasive. The majority of the persons in this book had the advantage of being born and raised in centers of civilization, highly cultured or politically pivotal nations. Muhammad, however, was born in the year 570, in the city of Mecca, in southern Arabia, at that time a backward area of the world, far from the centers of trade, art, and learning. Orphaned at age six, he was reared in modest surroundings. Islamic tradition tells us that he was illiterate. His economic position improved when, at age twenty-five, he married a wealthy widow. Nevertheless, as he approached forty, there was little outward indication that he was a remarkable person.

Bayan da shahararren Mahatma Gandhi (ya rasu 1948) ya samu kansa a kurkuku tare da tarihin rayuwar Annabi ﷺ, ya iya gano asirin da ya sa Annabi ﷺ ya ci nasara a kan matsalolin da ba a iya warwarewa ba, har ya kai ga irin wadannan matsayi na nasarar duniya. Hadin iko na siyasa da rashin barin wannan iko ya mallake shi ne asirin. Musulmi sun yi imani cewa Allah kadai ne zai iya hada wadannan abubuwa biyu a cikin mutum guda, kuma Ya karfafa da'awar annabcinsa da wadannan nasarori na zahiri da na dabi'a. A kalmomin Gandhi: "Ina so in san mafi kyau a rayuwar wanda yau yake rike da iko mara jayayya a zukatan miliyoyin mutane... Na kara tabbata cewa ba takobi ne ya samar wa Musulunci wuri a cikin tsarin rayuwa a wancan lokaci ba. Sauki mai tsanani, kaskantar da kai gaba daya na Annabi ﷺ, kiyaye alkawura sosai, tsananin kaunarsa ga abokansa da mabiyansa, jarumtakarsa, rashin tsoronsa, da cikakken dogaro ga Allah da manufarsa ta annabci, su ne suka kai shi ga nasara a kan komai kuma suka shawo kan kowane cikas, ba takobi ba."141

After the renowned Mahatma Gandhi (d. 1948) found himself in prison with the Prophet’s biography, he was able to identify the secret behind the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم overcoming insurmountable odds and reaching such stations of global success. It was the combination of political control and not allowing that political power to control him. Muslims believe that only God could have fused these two phenomena inside one man, and that He reinforced his claim to prophethood with these material and moral triumphs. In Gandhi’s words, I wanted to know the best of the life of one who holds today an undisputed sway over the hearts of millions of mankind… I became more than ever convinced that it was not the sword that won a place for Islam in those days in the scheme of life. It was the rigid simplicity, the utter self-effacement of the Prophet, the scrupulous regard for pledges, his intense devotion to his friends and followers, his intrepidity, his fearlessness, his absolute trust in God and in his own mission. These and not the sword carried everything before them and surmounted every obstacle.141
