Why are there so a lot of misconceptions about Prophet Muhammad?
Typically I discover that critics of Islam revert to the exact same points about Prophet Muhammad, none of which are true. These contain
one) He had sex with Aisha at 9 many years old – Based on Hadiths established to be false
two) He spread religion by the sword – not genuine at all
3) He forced conversions and killed innocent folks – this is ridiculous slander and historically inaccurate.
I think we can all agree that the much more expertise 1 has about a subject, the closer their viewpoint will be to the truth. So lets see what non-Muslim historians and scholars have to say about Muhammad, keep in mind, these are folks that have studied the historical facts about Muhammad in far increased detail than most folks.
Truly, Muhammad did not marry Aisha when she was 9. This is a massive misconception (deliberate in some circumstances) perversion of background. I think we can all agree that the much more expertise you have about a topic, the closer your opinions will be to the truth. So lets see what some of of the worlds most credible non-Muslim historians and scholars have to say about Prophet Muhammad.
Thomas Carlyle in ‘Heroes and Hero Worship and the Heroic in Historical past,’ 1840
“The lies (Western slander) which properly-that means zeal has heaped round this man (Muhammad) are disgraceful to ourselves only.”
Gibbon in ‘The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire’ 1823
“The great sense of Muhammad despised the pomp of royalty. The Apostle of God submitted to the menial offices of the loved ones he kindled the fire swept the floor milked the ewes and mended with his own hands his shoes and garments. Disdaining the penance and merit of a hermit, he observed without hard work of vanity the abstemious diet of an Arab.”
Reverend Bosworth Smith in ‘Muhammad and Muhammadanism,’ London, 1874.
“Head of the State as effectively as the Church, he was Caesar and Pope in 1 but he was Pope with out the Pope’s pretensions, and Caesar without having the legions of Caesar, without having a standing army, with no a bodyguard, without having a police force, with no a fixed income. If ever a man ruled by a correct divine, it was Muhammad, for he had all the powers without having their supports. He cared not for the dressings of power. The simplicity of his private daily life was in retaining with his public daily life.”
Mahatma Gandhi, statement published in ‘Young India,’1924.
“I wanted to know the greatest of the existence of one who holds right now an undisputed sway more than the hearts of millions of mankind…. I grew to become more than ever convinced that it was not the sword that won a place for Islam in people days in the scheme of daily life. It was the rigid simplicity, the utter self-effacement of the Prophet the scrupulous regard for pledges, his intense devotion to his buddies and followers, his intrepidity, his fearlessness, his absolute trust in God and in his very own mission. These and not the sword carried anything before them and surmounted every single obstacle. When I closed the second volume (of the Prophet’s biography), I was sorry there was not more for me to read of that excellent existence.”
Sir George Bernard Shaw in ‘The Real Islam,’ Vol. one, No. eight, 1936.
"I have constantly held the religion of Muhammad in large estimation simply because of its great vitality. It is the only religion which appears to me to possess that assimilating capacity to the altering phase of existence which can make itself appeal to each and every age. I have studied him – the fantastic guy and in my opinion for from being an anti-Christ, he must be known as the Savior of Humanity.”
“I think that if a guy like him had been to assume the dictatorship of the modern-day globe he would succeed in solving its issues in a way that would bring it the a lot essential peace and happiness: I have prophesied about the faith of Muhammad that it would be acceptable to the Europe of tomorrow as it is beginning to be acceptable to the Europe of nowadays."
Washington Irving ‘Mahomet and His Successors’
“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 thoughts neither was his simplicity in dress impacted but a outcome of true disregard for distinction from so trivial a resource.”
“In his personal dealings he was just. He handled buddies and strangers, the rich and poor, the effective and weak, with equity, and was beloved by the frequent men and women for the affability with which he obtained them, and listened to their complaints.”
“His army triumphs awakened no pride nor vain glory, as they would have done had they been effected for selfish functions. In the time of his best electrical power he maintained the identical simplicity of manners and physical appearance as in the days of his adversity. So far from affecting a regal state, he was displeased if, on entering a space, any unusual testimonials of respect had been shown to him. If he aimed at
I want to add that my goal is not to convert any person. Its purely for highlighting historical accuracy and educational functions. I hope this aids 
But how can an individual phone them facts when they have been verified to be false? Lastly, these are quote from primarily credible historians…why would they say these things if these “misconceptions” are information? Certainly this is not the scenario. And you will be unable to supply factual proof against Muhammad.
Actually, historically speaking, Islam has established time and time once again to be a really practical software of cost-free and open government. Seem at Spain when ruled by Muslims and India for the most portion. Its all about historical information, not half-truth opinions.
Web sites are not a credible source…secondly, I offered the sources of the books of these historians. Do not historians know much more about history than you? I guess the difference is, I rely on non-bias specialist opinions and historical facts, no a single can refute my points.
Winston Churchhill was a political leader, not a scholar. So his estimates never suggest considerably.
I challenge any person to generate a non-bias resource that advise points one-three are correct? I have developed numerous non-bias sources that have advised that they are false. Lets make this a discussion about historical facts.
