After his claim of Unity of God, holy prophet Muhammad’s well-wishers began to harbour ill for him. Friends turned into foes. He braved such hardships which are beyond a pretender and imposter to suffer through. He started his life as a powerless, helpless, unlettered, and unaided coinless orphan. He brought the message of God and succeeded against great nations of world who had plentitude of financial, military, and intellectual means. He brought forth resplendent education with conclusive arguments, irrefutable proofs which dumb-founded every opponent. To excel the whole world in wisdom, knowledge and strength, can this be accomplished without the help of God?
His teaching “Love for all hatred for none” ; In religious evolution, his was perfection-step of the message of All Blessed Adam to Abraham to Moses to Jesus . Statistically it is provable that his message flourished during peace years. Only after great sufferings of 13-long years, he was allowed by God for self defence but with lot of restrictions; NOW conditions gone, swords gone.Time is for self-excellence with pen. If today some people are abusing his all-peace education for their political wars, blame should not go to Holiness Muhammad. Example= Two world wars were fought mainly among christains BUT blame can not be put on Bible.
STATISTICS ========== 1)War waged on muslims in 2nd year of migration of holy prophet at BADAR. Muslims were 313 versus 1000 opponents. 2) war waged on muslims on 3rd year of migration at OHAD. Muslims were 700 versus 3000 opponents. 3) 6th year of migration peace truce of no-war between muslims and opponents at HUDABIYA. Peace message was spread. 4))) Muslims came to Makka in 10,000 .
==( RESULT )== during wars progress was slow but in peace, message of love to God and love to Humanity fast spread.

Muhammad: Seal of the Prophets ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ‘Philosopher, orator, apostle, legislator, warrior, conqueror of ideas, restorer of rational dogmas, the founder of twenty terrestrial empires and of one spiritual empire, that is Muhammad. As regards all standards by which human greatness is measured, we may ask, is there any man greater than he?’ – Lamartine, History of Turkey
-------------------------------------------
It is only lately that Western scholars have embarked on serious objective study of the life of the Prophet of Islam. In studying his life, certain factors must be kept in mind: Was the world in need of a universal divine personal message? Was the life of Muhammad, before he laid claim to prophethood, of such perfect purity as would indicate that he had been chosen? Was the message that he brought illustrated in his life and conduct? The purpose of this study is to institute an appraisal of the life of Muhammad which should be fully descriptive of its diverse facets and should enable the reader to carry out his own assessment of the man as an exemplary human being and as a divine prophet. -------------------------------------------
