Book excerpt: Muhammad(PBUH) was chosen for the subject of this book as he is considered a great teacher of mankind with one fourth of the world population following his teaching. An orphan and an illiterate, who taught mankind to worship the only one God, lead an honest and upright life as per the laws and commands of God, reminding mankind that the real life is in the hereafter for which men have to work with diligence in this world. He revolutionized the life and attitude of the Arabs who were then living in the shackles of ignorance and barbarianism and developed a great civilization which ruled the world for more than a thousand years. He realized that the essential tool to spread the message of God is literacy and its development and that which he encouraged by words and deeds which forms the main themes of this study. The main sources of our study on Prophet Muhammad as a teacher are the Qur'an, the Hadith literature (Sayings and Doings of Prophet Muhammad) and various books on the life and teachings of Prophet Muhammad. As for as Jesus is concerned Dillon's book has been taken as an axiomatic point of departure: and, only when materials corresponding to certain significant aspects of Jesus as a teacher had not been available in Dillon's book other books on the life and teachings of Jesus were used for reference. No attempt has been made to re-examine the propositions about Jesus that Dillon had settled upon. Our comparison of the two is for clarification and better understanding of the subject and not to find who is superior between them.
