In this comprehensive documentary, Sheikh Yusuf Estes presents a complete historical biography of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) — from A to Z and beyond. Drawing from authentic Islamic sources, eyewitness accounts preserved in Arabic for over 14 centuries, and testimonials from non-Muslim historians and world leaders, this presentation paints a vivid portrait of the man whom Islam calls the last and final messenger to all of humanity.
The Character of the Prophet Muhammad
Before receiving prophethood, Muhammad (peace be upon him) was already known among his people for his exceptional character. He never worshipped idols, never took God’s name in vain, never committed adultery, never gambled, and never drank alcohol — even though all these practices were common in his society. He prayed like the prophets before him — standing, bowing, kneeling, and prostrating with his face on the ground — and he insisted on keeping God’s commandments just as they had done.
“People do not hesitate to raise the divinity of other individuals whose lives and missions have been lost in legend. Historically, none of these legends achieves even a fraction of what Muhammad achieved. And all of his striving was for the sole purpose of uniting mankind for the worship of one God.”
What Non-Muslim Scholars Have Said
- Michael Hart ranked Muhammad as the most influential person in all of human history in his book “The 100”
- Mahatma Gandhi said: “I have come to conclude that it was not the sword that won over the people — it was the heart”
- Wolfgang von Goethe, one of Europe’s greatest poets, said the Quran must be seen as divine law, not as a human book
- Muhammad and his followers never claimed he was divine — he was always recognized as a human messenger chosen by God
“After a lapse of 14 centuries, the life and teachings of Muhammad have survived without the slightest loss, alteration, or interpolation. This is not a claim of his followers but the inescapable conclusion forced upon critical and unbiased historians.”
This presentation challenges every viewer to examine the facts about Muhammad (peace be upon him) with an open mind and honest heart. The historical evidence is overwhelming, and the question it poses is simple: could all of these extraordinary statements about one man really be true? And if they are, what does that mean for you?
