صلي الله عليه وسلم في عيون غربية منصفة
بقلم د.عبد المعطي الدالاتي
إلى المهاجر الأعظم :
في ديوانه الرائع (الديوان الشرقي للشاعر الغربي) يخاطب شاعر الألمان غوته ، أستاذه الروحي الشاعر حافظ شيرازي فيقول : "أي حافظ ! إن أغانيك لتبعث السكون … وإنني مهاجر إليك بأجناس البشرية المحطمة ، لتحملنا في طريق الهجرة إلى المهاجر الأعظم محمد بن عبد الله …"(1).
ويقول غوته : "إننا أهل أوربة بجميع مفاهيمنا ، لم نصل بعد إلى ما وصل إليه محمد ، وسوف لا يتقدم عليه أحد(2)… ، ولقد بحثت في التاريخ عن مثل أعلى لهذا الإنسان ، فوجدته في النبي محمد … وهكذا وجب أن يظهر الحق ويعلو، كما نجح محمد الذي أخضع العالم كله بكلمة التوحيد"(3).
ويقول الأديب الروسي (ليو تولستوي) والذي حرمته الكنيسة بسبب آرائه الحرة الجريئة :
"أنا واحد من المبهورين بالنبي محمد الذي اختاره الله الواحد لتكون آخر الرسالات على يديه ، وليكون هو أيضاً آخر الأنبياء … ويكفيه فخراً أنه هدى أمة برمتها إلى نور الحق ، وجعلها تجنح للسكينة والسلام ، وفتح لها طريق الرقي والمدينة" .
ويقول الشاعر الفرنسي الشهير (لا مارتين) : "أعظم حدث في حياتي هو أنني درست حياة رسول الله محمد دراسة واعية ، وأدركت ما فيها من عظمة وخلود، ومن ذا الذي يجرؤ على تشبيه رجل من رجال التاريخ بمحمد ؟! ومن هو الرجل الذي ظهر أعظم منه ، عند النظر إلى جميع المقاييس التي تُقاس بها عظمة الإنسان؟! إن سلوكه عند النصر وطموحه الذي كان مكرساً لتبليغ الرسالة وصلواته الطويلة وحواره السماوي هذه كلها تدل على إيمان كامل مكّنه من إرساء أركان العقيدة . إن الرسول والخطيب والمشرع والفاتح ومصلح العقائد الأخرى الذي أسس عبادة غير قائمة على تقديس الصور هو محمد ، لقد هدم الرسول المعتقدات التي تتخذ واسطة بين الخالق والمخلوق"(4).
ويقول الفيلسوف الإنجليزي جورج برناردشو : "لقد درست محمداً باعتباره رجلاً مدهشاً ، فرأيته بعيداً عن مخاصمة المسيح ، بل يجب أن يدعى منقذ الإنسانية ، وأوربة بدأت في العصر الراهن تفهم عقيدة التوحيد ، وربما ذهبت إلى أبعد من ذلك ، فتعترف بقدرة هذه العقيدة على حل مشكلاتها بطريقة تجلب السلام والسعادة ! فبهذه الروح يجب أن تفهموا نبوءتي"(5).
"إذا حكمنا على العظمة بما كان للعظيم من أثر في الناس ، قلنا إن محمداً رسول المسلمين أعظم عظماء التاريخ ، فقد كبح جماح التعصب والخرافات ، وأقام فوق اليهودية والمسيحية ودين بلاده القديم ديناً واضحاً قوياً ، استطاع أن يبقى إلى يومنا هذا قوة ذات خطر عظيم"(6).
"لم يسجل التاريخ أن رجلاً واحداً ، سوى محمد ، كان صاحب رسالة وباني أمة ، ومؤسس دولة … هذه الثلاثة التي قام بها محمد ، كانت وحدة متلاحمة ، وكان الدين هو القوة التي توحدها على مدى التاريخ"(7).
ويقول الفيلسوف الفرنسي فولتير : "لقد قام الرسول بأعظم دور يمكن لإنســان أن يقوم به على الأرض … إن أقل ما يقال عن محمد أنه قـــد جاء بكتاب وجاهد ، والإسلام لم يتغير قط ، أما أنتم ورجال دينكم فقد غيرتم دينكم عشرين مرة"(8).
ويقول مايكل هارت في كتاب (المائة الأوائل) : "كان محمد الرجل الوحيد في التاريخ الذي نجح في مهمته إلى أقصى حد ، سواء على المستوى الديني أم على المستوي الزمني"(9).
أما عالم اللاهوت السويسري المعاصر د. هانز كونج والذي يعتقد أن المسيح إنسان ورسول
فحسب اختاره الله ، فيقول : "محمد نبي حقيقي بمعنى الكلمة ، ولا يمكننا بعد إنكار أن محمداً هو المرشد القائد على طريق النجاة"(10).
ومما ميز حياة الرسول الخاتم صلى الله عليه وسلم أن حياته وسيرته وشمائله كلها قد حفظها لنا التاريخ ، فليس ثمة غموض في أي ناحية من حياته وسيرته . وقد اعترف بهذه الحقيقة كبار المؤرخين الغربيين . فالمؤرخ البريطاني الشهير (أرنولد توينبي) يقول : "الذين يريدون أن يدرسوا السيرة النبوية العطرة يجدون أمامهم من الأسفار مما لا يتوافر مثله للباحثين في حياة أي نبي من أنبياء الله الكرام"(11).
ويقول الكونت كاتياني في كتابه (تاريخ الإسلام) :
"أليس الرسول جديراً بأن تقدَّم للعالم سيرته حتى لا يطمسها الحاقدون عليه وعلى دعوته التي جاء بها لينشر في العالم الحب والسلام؟! وإن الوثائق الحقيقية التي بين أيدينا عن رسول الإسلام ندر أن نجد مثلها ، فتاريخ عيسى وما ورد في شأنه في الإنجيل لا يشفي الغليل" .
ويقول المستشرق المعروف غوستاف لوبون : " نعرف ما فيه الكفاية عن حياة محمد ، أما حياة المسيح فمجهولة تقريباً ، وإنك لن تطمع أن تبحث عن حياته في الأناجيل"(12).
ويلحّ ر. ف. بودلي على هذا المعنى فيقول : "لا نعرف إلا شذرات عن حياة المسيح، أما في سيرة محمد فنعرف الشيء الكثير ، ونجد التاريخ بدل الظلال والغموض"(13).
ويقول المستشرق هيل في كتابه (حضارة العرب) :
"لقد أخرج محمد للوجود أمة ، ومكن لعبادة الله في الأرض ، ووضع أسس العدالة والمساواة الاجتماعية ، وأحل النظام والتناسق والطاعة والعزة في أقوام لا تعرف غير الفوضى".
ويقول المستشرق الإسباني جان ليك في كتابه(العرب) :
"لا يمكن أن توصف حياة محمد بأحسن مما وصفها الله بقوله : (( وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ إِلا رَحْمَةً لِّلْعَالَمِينَ )) كان محمد رحمة حقيقية ، وإني أصلي عليه بلهفة وشوق"(14).
ويقول المؤرخ كريستوفر دارسون في كتابه (قواعد الحركة في تاريخ العالم) :
"إن الأوضاع العالمية تغيرت تغيراً مفاجئاً بفعل فرد واحد ظهر في التاريخ هو محمد"
ويقول العلامة شيريل ، عميد كلية الحقوق بفيينا :"إن البشرية لتفتخر بانتساب رجل كمحمد إليها"(15).
ويقول الباحث الفرنسي كليمان هوارت : "لم يكن محمداً نبياً عادياً ، بل استحق بجدارة أن يكون خاتم الأنبياء ، لأنه قابل كل الصعاب التي قابلت كل الأنبياء الذين سبقوه مضاعفة من بني قومه … نبي ليس عادياً من يقسم أنه "لو سرقت فاطمة ابنته لقطع يدها" ! ولو أن المسلمين اتخذوا رسولهم قدوة في نشر الدعوة لأصبح العالم مسلماً"(16).
ونختم بقول الشاعر الروسي الشهير (بوشكين) :
"شُقّ الصدر ، ونُزع منه القلب الخافق … غسلته الملائكة ، ثم أُثبت مكانه ! قم أيها النبي وطف العالم …. وأشعل النور في قلوب الناس"(17).

محمد بن عبد الله بن عبد المطلب بن هاشم بن عبد مناف بن قصي بن كلاب بن مرة بن كعب بن لؤي بن غالب بن فهر بن مالك بن النضر بن كنانة بن خزيمة بن مدركة بن إلياس بن مضر بن نذار بن معد بن عدنان. ولد في 20 نيسان / أبريل سنة 571 في مدينة مكة في جزيرة العرب
When he appeared Arabia was a desert -- a nothing. Out of nothing a new world was fashioned by the mighty spirit of Mohammad -- a new life, a new culture, a new civilization, a new kingdom which extended from Morocco to Indies and influenced the thought and life of three continents -- Asia, Africa and Europe.
و من الجزيرة العربية التي كانت لا شيء ... صحراء قاحلة ظهر عالم جديد مشكل بروح محمد الجبارة, حياة جديدة ثقافة جديدة , حضارة جديدة امتدت من المغرب الى الهند و أثرت في حياة ثلاث قارات, "كل العالم آنذاك"
The principles of universal brotherhood and doctrine of the equality of mankind which he proclaimed represents one very great contribution of Mohammad to the social uplift of humanity.
مبادئ الأخوة العالمية وعقيدة المساواة الإنسانية أعلنت وقدمت للبشرية بفضل كبير لمحمد على نهضة الإنسانية .
But even on the battlefield he taught the Arab barbarians to pray, to pray not individually, but in congregation to God the Almighty. During the dust and storm of warfare whenever the time for prayer came
حتى في أرض المعركة علم محمد العرب البرابرة أن يصلّوا, لا أن يصلوا فرادى, بل جماعة متوحدين لله القدير
In an aged of barbarism, the Battlefield itself was humanized and strict instructions were issued not to cheat, not to break trust, not to mutilate, not to kill a child or woman or an old man, not to hew down date palm nor burn it, not to cut a fruit tree, not to molest any person engaged in worship. His own treatment with his bitterest enemies is the noblest example for his followers.

ما قاله غاندي :
"Some one has said that Europeans in South Africa dread the advent Islam -- Islam that civilized Spain, Islam that took the torch light to Morocco and preached to the world the Gospel of brotherhood. The Europeans of South Africa dread the Advent of Islam. They may claim equality with the white races. They may well dread it, if brotherhood is a sin. If it is equality of colored races then their dread is well founded."
بعد أن استسلم البيزنطيون في مصر لجيش عمرو بن العاص هل أخبرك أحد بما حصل للأقباط الذين ساعدوا العرب
the Byzantines agreed to the second option. The Arab conquerors treated the Egyptian Copts well. During the battle for Egypt, the Copts had either remained neutral or had actively supported the Arabs. After the surrender, the Coptic patriarch was reinstated, exiled bishops were called home, and churches that had been forcibly turned over to the Byzantines were returned to the Copts. Amr allowed Copts who held office to retain their positions and appointed Copts to other offices.
وافق البيزنطيون على الخيار الثاني (الجزية). وعامل القاهرون العرب الأقباط معاملة حسنة. وكان الأخيرين خلال معركة مصر إما محايدين أو كانت لهم نشاطات في دعم القوات العربية. وهنا تحولت السيادة الى العرب من البيزنطيين. فأعيد البطاركة الأقباط الى مراكزهم واستدعي الأساقفة المنفيين الى مصر وأعيد فتح الكنائس التي أغلقها البيزنطيين وأعيد للأقباط مراكزهم.

ديانة الاسلام تنمو اسرع من اي ديانة اخرى
"The religion of Islam is growing faster than any other religion in the world." MIKE WALLACE, 60 MINUTES
"Five to 6 million strong, Muslims in America already outnumber Presbyterians, Episcopalians, and Mormons, and they are more numerous than Quakers, Unitarians, Seventh-day Adventists, Mennonites, Jehovah's Witnesses, and Christian Scientists, combined. Many demographers say Islam has overtaken Judaism as the country's second-most commonly practiced religion; others say it is in the passing lane." JOHAN BLANK, USNEWS (7/20/98)
"In fact, religion experts say Islam is the second-largest religion in the United States... Islam has 5 million to 6 million members, followed by Judaism, with approximately 4.5 million..... And Islam is believed to be fastest-growing religion in the country, with half its expansion coming from new immigrants and the other half from conversions.

البروفيسور كيث مور احد انجح علماء التشريح وتطور الجنين من جامعة تورونتو كندا يشهد على ان القران فيه اعجاز علمي حق وليس كلام نبي او تاليف او خداع
Professor Keith Moore, one of the world’s prominent scientists of anatomy and embryology. University of Toronto, Canada It has been a great pleasure for me to help clarify statements in the Qur’aan about human development. It is clear to me that these statements must have come to Muhammad from God, or 'Allah', because almost all of this knowledge was not discovered until many centuries later. This proves to me that Muhammad must have been a messenger of Allah.
"But Islam has a still further service to render to the cause of humanity. It stands after all nearer to the real East than Europe does, and it possesses a magnificent tradition of inter-racial understanding and cooperation. No other society has such a record of success uniting in an equality of status, of opportunity, and of endeavours so many and so various races of mankind . . . Islam has still the power to reconcile apparently irreconcilable elements of race and tradition. If ever the opposition of the great societies of East and West is to be replaced by cooperation, the mediation of Islam is an indispensable condition. In its hands lies very largely the solution of the problem with which Europe is faced in its relation with East. If they unite, the hope of a peaceful issue is immeasurably enhanced. But if Europe, by rejecting the cooperation of Islam, throws it into the arms of its rivals, the issue can only be disastrous for both." --

"Thinking about many of these questions and thinking where Muhammad came from, he was after all a bedouin. I think it is almost impossible that he could have known about things like the common origin of the universe, because scientists have only found out within the last few years with very complicated and advanced technological methods that this is the case.

Dr. T.V.N. Persaud is a Professor of Anatomy and Head of the Department of Anatomy, and a professor of Pediatrics and Child Health, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. He is the author or editor of 25 books, and has published over 181 scientific papers. In 1991, he received the most distinguished award presented in the field of anatomy in Canada. "It seems to me that Muhammad was a very ordinary man. He could not read or write. In fact, he was illiterate. We are talking about 1400 years ago. You have someone who was illiterate making profound pronouncement and statements and are amazingly accurate about scientific nature. I personally cannot see how this could be mere chance. There are too many accuracy’s and, like Dr. Moore, I have no difficulty in my mind in concerning that this is a divine inspiration or revelation which led him to these statements."

That there exists statements in the Qur’aan shown by science to be valid, which supports knowledge in the Qur’aan having been derived from Allah.

We need research into the history of early Middle Eastern oral traditions to know whether in fact such historical events have been reported. If there is no such record, it strengthens the belief that Allah transmitted through Muhammad bits of his knowledge that we have only discovered for ourselves in recent times. We look forward to a continuing dialogue on the topic of science in the Qur’aan in the context of geology. Thank you very much.

Professor Tagata Tagasone, formerly Head of the Department of Anatomy and Embryology at the University of Shiang Mai in Thailand. He is now the Dean of the College of the Medicine at the University. From my studies and from what I have learned throughout this conference, I believe that everything that has been recorded in the Qur’aan 1400 years ago must be the truth, that can be proved by the scientific means. Since the Prophet Muhammad could neither read nor write, Muhammad must be a messenger who relayed this truth which was revealed to him as an enlightenment by the One Who is an eligible Creator. This Creator must be Allah, or Allah. Therefore, I think this is the time to say ‘Laa ilaaha illallah’, that there is no Allah to worship except Allah, ‘Muhammad Rasool Allah’, Muhammad is messenger of Allah...

Professor Dorja Rao, It is difficult to imagine that this type of knowledge was existing at that time, around 1400 years back. May be some of the things they have simple idea about, but do describe those things in great detail is very difficult. So, this is definitely not a simple human knowledge.

"No other society has such a record of success in uniting in an equality of status, of opportunity and endeavour so many and so varied races of mankind.

The nation's claim to be a Christian country is about to meet its first challenge: the number of practising Muslims is set to overtake Anglican Christians.... There has also been a number of high-profile conversions to Islam from Christianity. These include Mike Tyson, the former world champion boxer; Chris Eubank, the British middleweight boxing champion, who has changed his name to Hamdan; and Cat Stevens, the pop musician, who calls himself Yousef Islam.... Prince Charles courted controversy earlier this year when he reaffirmed his claim that when he succeeds the throne, he does not wish to be the defender of only the Christian faith.

"I have studied him - the wonderful man - and in my opinion far from being an anti-Christ he must be called the saviour of humanity. " George Bernard Shaw in "The Genuine Islam"
محمد قال احد اعظم المقولات التاريخية
من كان يعبد محمد فان محمدا قد مات ومن كان.يعبد الله فان الله حي لايموت
Muhammad, the inspired man who founded Islam, was born about A.D. 570 into an Arabian tribe that worshipped idols. Orphaned at birth, he was always particularly solicitous of the poor and needy, the widow and the orphan, the slave and the downtrodden. At twenty, he was already a successful businessman, and soon became director of camel caravans for a wealthy widow. When he reached twenty-five, his employer, recognizing his merit, proposed marriage. Even though she was fifteen years older, he married her, and as long as she lived, remained a devoted husband. "Like almost every major prophet before him, Muhammad fought shy of serving as the transmitter of God's word, sensing his own inadequacy. But the angel commanded 'Read.' So far as we know, Muhammad was unable to read or write, but he began to dictate those inspired words which would soon revolutionize a large segment of the earth: 'There is one God.' "In all things Muhammad was profoundly practical. When his beloved son Ibrahim died, an eclipse occurred, and rumours of God's personal condolence quickly arose. Whereupon Muhammad is said to have announced, 'An eclipse is a phenomenon of nature. It is foolish to attribute such things to the death or birth of a human being. "At Muhammad's own death an attempt was made to deify him, but the man who was to become his administrative successor killed the hysteria with one of the noblest speeches in religious history: 'If there are any among you who worshipped Muhammad, he is dead. But if it is God you worshipped, He lives forever." --James A. Michener, "Islam: The Misunderstood Religion," in READER'S DIGEST (American edition), May 1955, pp. 68-70.

I believe that if a man like him were to assume the dictatorship of the modern world, he would succeed in solving its problems in a way that would bring it the much needed 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 today." --

"The rise of Islam is perhaps the most amazing event in human history. Springing from a land and a people like previously negligible, Islam spread within a century over half the earth, shattering great empires, overthrowing long established religions, remoulding the souls of races, and building up a whole new world - world of Islam.
"The closer we examine this development the more extraordinary does it appear. The other great religions won their way slowly, by painful struggle and finally triumphed with the aid of powerful monarchs converted to the new faith. Christianity had its Constantine, Buddhism its Asoka, and Zoroastrianism its Cyrus, each lending to his chosen cult the mighty force of secular authority. Not so Islam. Arising in a desert land sparsely inhabited by a nomad race previously undistinguished in human annals, Islam sallied forth on its great adventure with the slenderest human backing and against the heaviest material odds. Yet Islam triumphed with seemingly miraculous ease, and a couple of generations saw the Fiery Crescent borne victorious from the Pyrenees to the Himalayas and from the desert of Central Asia to the deserts of Central Africa." --A.M.L. Stoddard, quoted in ISLAM - THE RELIGION OF ALL PROPHETS, Begum Bawani Waqf, Karachi, Pakistan, p. 56.
"I am not a Muslim in the usual sense, though I hope I am a "Muslim" as "one surrendered to God," but I believe that embedded in the Quran and other expressions of the Islamic vision are vast stores of divine truth from which I and other occidentals have still much to learn, and 'Islam is certainly a strong contender for the supplying of the basic framework of the one religion of the future.'" --
W. Montgomery Watt, ISLAM AND CHRISTIANITY TODAY, London, 1983, p. ix.
========================
'I believe in One God and Mohammed the Apostle of God,' is the simple and invariable profession of Islam. The intellectual image of the Deity has never been degraded by any visible idol; the honours of the prophet have never transgressed the measure of human virtue, and his living precepts have restrained the gratitude of his disciples within the bounds of reason and religion." --Edward Gibbon and Simon Ocklay, HISTORY OF THE SARACEN EMPIRE, London, 1870, p. 54.
==========================
"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 bodyguard, 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 Mohammed, for he had all the power without its instruments and without its supports." --Bosworth Smith, MOHAMMAD AND MOHAMMADANISM, London, 1874, p. 92.
=========================
"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." --W. Montgomery Watt, MOHAMMAD AT MECCA, Oxford, 1953, p. 52.
========================
"The doctrine of brotherhood of Islam extends to all human beings, no matter what color, race or creed. Islam is the only religion which has been able to realize this doctrine in practice. Muslims wherever on the world they are will recognize each other as brothers." Mr. R. L. Mellema, Holland, Anthropologist, Writer and Scholar.
=========================
"It is impossible for anyone who studies the life and character of the great Prophet of Arabia, who knows how he taught and how he lived, to feel anything but reverence for that mighty Prophet, one of the great messengers of the Supreme. And although in what I put to you I shall say many things which may be familiar to many, yet I myself feel whenever I re-read them, a new way of admiration, a new sense of reverence for that mighty Arabian teacher." --
Annie Besant, THE LIFE AND TEACHINGS OF MUHAMMAD, Madras, 1932, p. 4.
========================
"The essential and definite element of my conversion to Islam was the Qur'an. I began to study it before my conversion with the critical spirit of a Western intellectual .... There are certain verses of this book, the Qur'an, revealed more than thirteen centuries ago, which teach exactly the same notions as the most modern scientific researches do. This definitely converted me."
Ali Selman Benoist, France, Doctor of Medicine.
=========================
"I have read the Sacred Scriptures of every religion; nowhere have I found what I encountered in Islam: perfection. The Holy Qur'an, compared to any other scripture I have read, is like the Sun compared to that of a match. I firmly believe that anybody who reads the Word of Allah with a mind that is not completely closed to Truth, will become a Muslim." Saifuddin Dirk Walter Mosig, U. S.A.
========================
"The universal brotherhood of Islam, regardless of race, politics, color or country, has been brought home to me most keenly many times in my life -- and this is another feature which drew me towards the Faith." Col. Donald S. Rockwell, U.S.A. Poet, Critic and Author.
"Medieval Islam was technologically advanced and open to innovation. It achieved far higher literacy rates than in contemporary Europe;it assimilated the legacy of classical Greek civilization to such a degree that many classical books are now known to us only through Arabic copies. It invented windmills ,trigonometry, lateen sails and made major advances in metallurgy, mechanical and chemical engineering and irrigation methods. In the middle-ages the flow of technology was overwhelmingly from Islam to Europe rather from Europe to Islam. Only after the 1500's did the net direction of flow begin to reverse."
