1000 GREAT MUSLIMS OF THE WORLD Muslims were the First to keep record of their elders. They compiled big volumes on ‘Asmaa al Rijal’ the biographies of the Companion of Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) covering hundreds of thousands entries. Later many voluminous compilations like ‘Al iasaba fi Tameezal Sahaba’, Wafiyat al Aayaan, Kashfuz Zunnoon and recently ‘Al Aalaam’ by Khairuddin Zarkali (in 8 volumes) all in Arabic were completed. However there is a need of such compilation in English and French which are growing as the Muslim languages. In order to acquaint the young generations with our GLORIOUS ISLAMIC PAST we are beginning a series of articles on various fields and different regions. For easy coverage we divided the large work into the following continental and classified forms. 100 Great Muslims of Asia 100 Great Muslims of Europe 100 Great Muslims of North America 100 Great Muslims of South America 100 Great Muslims of Africa 100 Great Muslims of Australia 100 Great Muslims of the World Besides this we shall also edit reports on other subjects like languages, scientific researches and Islamic services. Presently we are submitting a suggested report on the

“1000 GREAT MUSLIMS OF THE WORLD.” These entries on ten subjects are starting from Sahaba, the Companions (men & women) of Holy Prophet (s.a.w.), scholars of Makkah Mukarrama in 20th century, Muslim scientists, laureates of Arabic, Persian and Urdu literatures and the Winners of Faisal Award. Finally a list of 100 Great of the Muslim History is submitted. We also suggest a list of 100 GREAT PERSONS OF THE WORLD. These entries are not final as there are thousands of others in various fields and the regions but this is just the start. We invite Muslim scholars of each region and discipline, to come forward and compile the Roll of Honor of the Islamic Ummah.

100 GREAT PERSONS OF THE WORLD

(CHRONOLOGICAL)

DIVINE Prophets are the best leaders of the world who guided the mankind to the right path. Prophet Noah was the first prophet who invited the people to worship One God and lead a pious life. They rejected his message and were punished through a large deluge sinking them all. Later Prophet Ibrahim appeared who preached monotheism and good life pattern in Iraq, Egypt and Palestine. All the three Divine religions of the world namely Judaism, Christianity and Islam were preached by his descendants namely Moses, Jesus and Mohammed, be peace upon them all. The Roman Empire which flourished around Mediterranean for few centuries in BC era was also idolatrous in nature. His ruler Herod Antipas slaughtered Prophet John the Baptist, for the sake of his illegal marriage. Again he chased Prophet Jesus Christ and rejected his Divine message. The Roman Empire continued for few centuries until it was finally eradicated by Muslims in 650 AD. We have clear record of Prophetic Message for 4000 years from Prophet Ibrahim to our time in 2000 AD. The Greek intellectualism flourished for 500 years from 400 BC then it was ruthlessly suppressed by the Christian preachers. The period between 250 and 750 AD may be termed as the Dark Period of intellectualism when scientists were murdered and their Greek manuscripts were destroyed or heavily locked in the Christian monasteries of Europe. Muslims were the First to break the locks of monasteries and acquire the pool of Greek knowledge. It is said that the rotten wooden boxes full with manuscripts were weighed in equal gold from Abbasid Caliphate and brought to Baghdad. Muslim scholars studies Greek and translated old manuscripts into Arabic and tested them for the authenticity. Muslim scholars were the First to initiate the Applied Science in the world. Later these Arabic Sciences were taught to Muslim and European students alike at the academies of Baghdad and Cordoba in Spain. Thus Muslim scholars saved the Greek knowledge from decimation for the whole mankind.

Our Roll of ‘100 GREAT MEN OF THE WORLD’ records 20 Prophets as the first Guide of humanity. Then five leading Greek scholars namely, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Euclid and Archimedes have been quoted. After 750 AD we find an explosion of knowledge through Muslim Scientists. Though there are hundreds of scholars of high repute but we selected only those Muslim scholars whose Arabic works were translated into Latin and taught in Europe. They are more famous with their Latin names in the western world. Those are: Geber, Algorizm, Albumasar, Thebet, Albatenius Rhazes, Alpharabius, Azophi, Albucasis, Alhazen, Alboacen, Abenragel, Alberuni, Avecenna, Arzachel, Algazel, Avenzoar, Avenpace, Albitar, Dreses, Averros, Alpetragius, Annabati, Attifashi, Ibnafis, Almarakashi, Abulfeda, Ibnbatuta, Alrumi and Ibnkhaldun. The names of Arzachel and Azophi have been marked on two Craters of the Moon After learning at Andalusia and Baghdad the European scholars began an era of inventions in the West. Though there are many scientists who initiated theories but we selected only those scientists who invented new machines and devices which directly benefitted the humanity at large. This may be said as inventions of electricity, automobiles, aircrafts, photography, anesthesiology, telecommunication, and lately computer and microbiology etc. The main scientists of this era are:

J. Gutenberg: Developer of movable type

Besides the scientific inventions there were many rulers, explorers and thinkers of high repute who contributed to the welfare and prosperity of the world. From Non-Muslims section, we may quote, Hammurabi, Homer, Ashok, Julius Caesar, Christopher Columbus, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Charles Dickens, Martin Luther King. Neil Armstrong , Mikhail Gorbachev and Yuri Gagarin. Muslim world produced hundreds of jewels and gems in the realm of administration, literature and research. We quote only few of them such as:

Haroon Rasheed, Imam Bukhari,

Alp Arsalan, Omer Khayyam, Salahuddin Ayyubi, Saadi Shirazi,

In our opinion every quoted person is great. We cannot compare one with another. There is no Highest Great and the Lowest Great in our cadre. We arranged all entries in chronological order which gives a chance to evaluate the seniority and particular era of each individual. Time is the best judge. The person, who invented the first wheel of the world, was much greater than the person who invented the whole automobile later. Every person in the cadre is Great or Greater according to his service to the humanity.
