Man Of All Time!


By Sajid Iqbal

There is no other man who has influenced life for all times. There is no other man who is a perfect role model for all humans for all times. There is no other man who has given rights to people of every society for all times.
So who is it then?


Einstein, Darwin, Marx, Socrates, Newton, Plato, Freud… (who?).
OK, is it Jesus, Moses, Napoleon, Julius Caesar, Gandhi, Buddha, Lenin, Mussolini, Stalin, Churchill, Martin Luther King, Shakespeare, Princess Diana or Abraham Lincoln? Or even (God forbid) Ali G, Tu Pac, Michael Jackson or David Beckam?

There is ONLY one individual or personality that is worthy of being known as the man of all times and that is no other than Muhammad, messenger of God . (Oh yeahhhh…I forgot about him…)

‘How’s that then?’…is probably what you’re thinking. 'Naah! Its cos we’re Muslims innit…and we have to believe in the Prophet, so it's obvious we think he’s the greatest person ever. Isn’t that a bit biased… if you know what I mean.’
If that’s what you’re thinking, I would say it’s a fair question but isn’t it sad that we don’t even know what our Prophet has done for us. If we did then you would definitely think that the Prophet is the greatest man of all times.

Well you know what, if nothing else you’re definitely gonna find out what the Prophethas done for the whole mankind.

OK, if you look at the great people throughout the history whether they are philosophers or intellectuals, scientists or inventors, politicians or revolutionary leaders, soldiers or military leaders, writers or entertainers, Prophets or religious personalities (I know it’s a long sentence, bear with me..) - none of them can be considered to be the ‘man of all times’ for one simple reason. They are all specialists in their own fields- and that is all.
You what!!(I know..I know...you're thinking I don't get it! Bear with me...).
You see, they cannot offer guidance and solutions for the everyday lives of people till the end of time. They cannot offer a perfect role model for each and every individual in society till the end of time. They cannot answer each and every question regarding life for every society till the end of time.
They cannot give rights to each and every individual in society till the end of time. (I can hear you saying ‘Have you fallen in love with the words ‘end of time’ or what’?) There is no one individual whose life and personality can offer guidance and be a perfect role model in each and every field whether it be social, economic, religious, spiritual, political, military, administrative, moral or cultural.
