AOA<br />
I have recently gone through an article from Javed Chaudry named "Bara Insaan" and my comments on this article as as under;<br />
<br />
In your Article "Bara Insaan", you covered mainly the following;<br />
<br />
1. Bill gates ?Best Man on Earth till the End. <br />
2. Charity given by Bill Gates<br />
3. Self decision on Inheritance <br />
<br />
In this regard, following are my few observations and comments according to Quran & Sunnah;<br />
<br />
1. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), Greatest of all<br />
<br />
A.) Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), In Quran<br />
<br />
"Indeed in the messenger of Allah you have the most beautiful pattern of conduct for him who hopes in Allah and the last day, and remembers Allah much?br />
Qur鎶媙 33:21<br />
<br />
B.) Hadeeth<br />
<br />
Abu Hurayrah reported that;<br />
<br />
The Prophet (Muhammad) said, "Every Prophet was sent to his own people, but I have been sent to all of Mankind" <br />
Related by Bukhari and Muslim<br />
<br />
C.) Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), In view of Historians<br />
<br />
"He must be called the Saviour of Humanity. I believe that if a man like him were to assume the dictatorship of the modern world, he would succeed in solving its problems in a way that would bring it much needed peace and happiness." <br />
He was by far the most remarkable man that ever set foot on this earth. He preached a religion, founded a state, built a nation, laid down a moral code, initiated numerous social and political reforms, established a powerful and dynamic society to practice and represent his teachings and completely revolutionized the worlds of human thought and behavior for all times to come. <br />

Philosopher, orator, apostle, legislator, warrior, conqueror of ideas, restorer of rational dogmas, of a cult without images, the founder of twenty terrestrial empires and of one spiritual empire, that is Muhammad. <br />

As regards all the standards by which Human Greatness may be measured, we may well ask, Is there any man greater than he??br />

2. CHARITY BY NON-MUSLIMS<br />
<br />
<br />
Please note that Non-Muslims may perform good works as well, but what sets them apart from Muslims is No iman, or belief. The reason that the good works of the non-believers are worthless in the hereafter is because of their disbelief. Unless a person's iman or aqeedah is not correct, all his good deeds are worthless. <br />
