ÔI believe in One God and Mahomed the apostle of God is the simple and invariable profession of Islam.

The West has widely believed that this surge of religion was made possible by the sword. But no modern scholar accept this idea, and the Quran is explicit in the support of the freedom of Consience. 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 and write, but he began to dictate those inspired words which would soon revolutionize a large segment of the earth. There is one God.”]

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 distinction form so trivial a source.

In his prvivate dealings he was just. He treated friends and strangers, the rich and poor, the powerful and weak, with equity, and was beloved by the common people for the affability with which he received them and listened to their complaint.

His military triumphs awakened no Pride nor vain glory, as he woald have done had they been effected for selfish purposes. If he aimed at a universal dominion, it was the dominion of faith.”]

Never has a man underatken a work so far beyond human power with so feeble means for he (Muhammad) had in the conception as weel as in the wxecution of such a great design, no other instrument than himself and no other aid except a handful of men living in a corner of the desert. Fimally, never has a man accomplished such a hung and lasting revoliution in the world, because in less than two centuries after its appearance, Islam, in faith and in arms, reigned over the whole of Arabia, and conquered, in Gud’s name, persia khorasan, Tranaoxania, Western India, Syria, Egypt, Abyasinia, All the khown continent of Northern Africa, namerous island of the Mediterranean sea, spain and parts of Gaul.”]
