This is a short paper on Muhammad the Prophet. It gives a definition, chief contribution, and historical origin.

Muhammad You may be an atheist or an agnostic or you may belong to any of the various religious denominations that exist in the world today. You may have been a Communist or a believer in democracy and freedom. No matter what you are, and no matter what your religious and political beliefs, personal and social habits happen to be-- you still must know this man (comparekjv.html). Muhammad can be described as "the Messenger …

…to demonstrate the laws of moral, ethical, legal, social conduct, and all other matters of significance for humanity as a whole. "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. As regards all standards by which human greatness may be measured, we may well ask, is there any man greater than he?" (Cook 5).
