.IN PRAISE ....

OF

THE MASTER-PROPHET MUHAMMAD (Sal-lal-la-ho a-lai-he n,a sal-iam)

. , , H e never frequented the wine-shop, or looked at the dancing-girls; or talked .abroad in the bazaars. He Was mori~ modest than a virgin behind the curtain: When he: met children, hewould stop and pat their ~:heeks;he'followed the bier that passed him in the street; he visited the sick;he was kind to his inferiors; he would accept the invitation of a slave to dinner; he was ne~'er the first to withdraw:his hand when he Shook hands; he was humble, gentle and kind; h e waited ahvays on himself, mending his own clothes, milking his own goats; he never struck anyone in his life. When once asked to curie some one, he said, "I have riot been sent to curse, but to be a,mercy to: mankind.' . . . . . When we regard him as a ruler and lawgiver we can only wonder and admire. He established for' the first time in history a United Arabia. In the moral life of his countrymen he effected a remarkable reform. He abolished drunkenness and gambling, vices, to which the Arabs have been specially addicted. He abolished the practice o f infanticide, and also succeeded in rendering its: memory detestable. . . . .Whatever laws he m~/de respecting women arid slaves were made with the view of impr0vingtheir c o n d i t i o n . . . . H i s c a r e e r is the best:example that canlbe given of the influences of the Individual in h u m a n history. That single man cre~ted the glory"0f his nation, and Spread his language over half the earth. The words which he preached to jeering crowds twelve hundred years ago are now being studied by scholars or I~ydevotees in Lond0n, Paris and Berlin; i n Mecca, where he labored; in Medina, Where he died; in Constantinoi~le, in Cairo, in Fez. in Timbuctoo, in Jerusalem, in Damascus, in Bassora, in Bagdad, in Bokhara, in Cabul, in Calcutta, in Pekin; in the steppes of-Central Asia, in the islands of the Indian Archipelago, in~ lands which are as yet unmarked upon our :maps. in the oases of thirsty deserts, in obscure villages situated by unknown streams..It was Mohammad ~ who did all this, for he uttered the book which Carried the language, and he prepared the armywhich carried the b0ok. His disciples and successors werenot mad fanatics, but resolute and sagacious men. who.made shrewd friendship with ithe malcontent : Christians: among the Greeks. and with the persecuted Jews in Spain. and who in a . fewyears created an empire which extended from the Pyrenees to the Hindo0 Koosh." --Winwo0d Reade, in The Martyrdom o[ M a n . . . .
