Who is Muhammad(PBUH)-Arthur Gilman

"It is greatly to his (Muhammad's) praise that on his occasion
(conquest of Mecca), when he presentment for ill usage of past might
naturally have incited him to revenge, he restrained his army from
shedding of blood, and showed every sign of humanity and thanks giving
to Allah for His Goodness......Ten or twelve men who had on the former
occasion shown a barbarous spirit were prescribed, and of them four
were put to death, but this must be consider exceedingly humane, in the

comparison with the other conquerors: for example with the cruelty of
the crusaders who in 1099 put seventy thousand Muslims men, women and
helpless children to death when Jurusalem fell into their hands; or
with that of British Army also fighting under the "cross" which in
the year of Grace in 1874 burned the African capital in the war on te
Old Coast. Muhammad's victory was in very truth one of religion and
not politics; he rejected every token of personal homage and declined
all regal authority, and when the haughty chiefs of Qoreishites
appeared before him he asked:

" What can you expect at my hands?"


" Mercy, O generous brother!"


"Be it so: You are free!" He exclaimed"
