What They Say about the Prophet Muhammad Statements and testimonies of foreign orientalists, historians, philosophers, writers and leaders about Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him throughout history The first witness: Annie Besant, The Life and Teachings of Muhammad, Madras 1932, p.4 “It is impossible for anyone who studies the life and character of the great Prophet of Arabia, who knows how he taught and how he lived, to feel anything but reverence for that mighty Prophet, one of the great messengers of the Supreme. And although in what I put to you I shall say many things which may be familiar to many, yet I myself feel whenever I re-read them, a new way of admiration, a new sense of reverence for that mighty Arabian teacher.”
