Non-Muslims say that, when they are thinking and using the scientific approach. Let us read …

Michael H. Hart is a Jewish American astrophysicistand he is the writer of the famous book “The 100: A Ranking of the Most Influential Persons in History”which has sold more than 500,000 copies and been translated into 15 languages.
The
said book was not directed to Muslims but Hart chose prophet Mohamed
because he believes that prophet Mohamed peace be upon him was the only
Man in history who was supremely successful on both the religious and secular levels.
In
his book hart says about the reason behind choosing the prophet as
number one in the list:”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.”
In
comparison with the rest of men in the list, Hart says about Mohamed
peace be upon him: “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. Mohammad, 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”.
Prophet
Mohammad was born in southern Arabia, at that time a backward area of
the world, far from the centers of trade, art, and learning.
Hart
continues his talking about the history of the prophet by saying:”Most
Arabs at that time were pagans, who believed in many gods. There were,
however, in Mecca, a small number of Jews and Christians “.
