Excellent thread. Very informative. Learned a lot.

I don’t know anything about the Prophet. From what I have read here he was for peace and tolerance. Read Gandhiji Nehry Shaw opinions. Very informative.

For me Gandhiji Rev Martin Luther King and Bishop Tutu were the most influential. Gandhiji was prepared to give up his life for the sake of peace. His words to the Hindu whose son was killed by a Muslim "raise a Muslim who has lost his parents. And raise him as a Muslim".

That contrasts with followers of religion today - who rejoice when conversions to their faith increase.

So Gandhiji for me is by far the most influential.

This Gandhi ji incident again reminds me an incident about Zaid Bin Haris (RA), who was a slave and the Prophet brought up him like his son. Zaid was lost child of his parents and when Zaid remained in the Prophet’s home for years, his parents found him. Prophet allowed him to go with his parents, but Zaid preferred to live with the Prophet rather than going with his parents.
