Well, who doesn’t know Mahatma Gandhi. One of the great man from India. I think most of people in the world knows about him not just the Indian or the Hindus. Mainly because of his great achievement in life. Do you ever wonder, what he thinks about Muhammad p.b.u.h?
Mahatma Gandhi, statement published in 'Young India,'1924.
“I wanted to know the best of the life of one who holds today an undisputed sway over the hearts of millions of mankind.... I became more than ever convinced that it was not the sword that won a place for Islam in those days in the scheme of life. It was the rigid simplicity, the utter self-effacement of the Prophet the scrupulous regard for pledges, his intense devotion to his friends and followers, his intrepidity, his fearlessness, his absolute trust in God and in his own mission. These and not the sword carried everything before them and surmounted every 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 great life.”
His statement in some way I think helps the Muslim to explain one of the many misconceptions about Islam to the non-Muslim.
