Quotes : Mahatma Gandhi on Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)
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.”

Gandhiji inspired by Prophet Mohammed (SWA) when he read about his life story, so that he have done that much for India. In few of prospctives he adopt himself into to Muhammed’s charactor, thoughts and life style. So think Guys greatness of “Prophet Mohammed.” When some shadows makes Gandhiji India’s National Father, Why don’t we follow the all of Muhammed’s “Hidayah and absolute trust in Allah”. Shame on us we are not following non of from them. We will suffer like this unless until learn about ALLAH, ISLAM and Muhammed.
Think guys Think…
( Gandhiji can’t stand up for ISLAM b/c of political reasons but Inner mind he regret that he is not a Musilm.. This is the TRUTH ).. KsK
KSK you can’t possibly speak for the dead. What Mahatma Gandhi wanted or didn’t want died with him and to assume otherwise is a sin. Be humble and follow in their teachings and focus on being the best muslim you can be. Muhammed (pbuh) was a great man and so was Mahatma Gandhi. We can only hope to be as pure of heart and free of evil.
asslamualaikum brother, I’m Utario from Indonesia. It’s very inspiring
KsK ….. care to say what political reasons u r referring to ?
The other thing, how could possibly know what went on in the mind of dead man u have never met ?
Last but not least , why don’t u assume that these of Ghandi’ words were for political reasons as well ?
if indians respect ghandi and his speech why they dont follow his wards ? Is it also political ? Even they want to vanish muslim and islam from india. Ghandi was a clever politician and he tried to get the muslims faith to make a neutral india but what was in him Allah knows best.
BADRULHAQKHAN DEAR SHAMIMAS-SALAAM WA-ALAIKUM WA RAHAMATULLAHI WA BARAKATUHU no body in this world can vanish islam and muslim it was just politics i can give a reason for this if some body like mohammed the prophet and understand is life he or she will accept the islam and become a muslim we all muslims have iman in that case some celebrity and some people have like life of mohammed the prophet peace upon him but they have not accepted islam they doesnt know a profit asset of life so ican tell they are just misguarding all muslims vanish of muslim is vanish of world e.g. just see the life of abdul mutalib
allah ho akbar
allah hafiz
DUA MAY YAAD RAKNA
masha…allah

Young India was a weekshed in English by Mahatma Gandhi from 1919 to 1932. Gandhi wrote various quotations in this journal that inspired many. He used the Young India to spread his unique ideology and thoughts regarding independence. This quote is from one edition of Young India, 1924.
Beautiful quote. We cannot assume that Gandhi was Muslim. It’s pure conjecture, a waste of time. The matter is that Gandhi adulated Prophet Muhammed. Rumi followed in Prophet Muhammed’s footsteps. George Bernad Shaw called Prophet Muhammed the Savior of Humanity. If we revere these heroes, let us love whom they emulated.
If this was what was said by a non-muslim about the Prophet SAW, then this great life of this great man holds a truth behind it. Remember if there was a man who could have been a King among his people because of his character then it was the Prophet peace and blessing be upon him.
What ever words Gandhi it was from his mind and heart….not to gain any political support or muslim support…!!!if he did not like any thing he would straight away said like he did not like meat..he said i dnt like meat….!!!He liked MUHAMMAD from his heart and followed his character through out his life….I am one of those persons who converted to ISLAM because of beautiful character of MUHAMMAD
MUHAMMAD and GANDHI are really great persons
Salam Alaikum! firstly am vry happy 4 u as u became one of d savory in this world.. God bless u! About Gandhi statement, we muslims suppose to look at his words in a positive way. If we consider what our beloved prophet s.a.w teaches us to not think negative over others, we always thing positive to others. And again its not a surprise when GandhiJi said he respect our beloved Prophet, if we consider d history even d non-muslims of His era r believed that He is a trustworthy n good human being. so its not a big deal when a non-muslim now said he respect our beloved. We know He is d most respectable person on earth. Peace be upon Him!
Its all true but u must also know that non violence he learned from prophet Muhammad pbuh nephew imam hussain
