The Top 10 Greatest Leaders of All Time: Muhammad P.B.U.H
Abraham Lincoln famously said: “Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man’s character, give him power.”
There is something about power that affects the human condition unlike anything else. It has an uncanny ability to change people, their behaviour and their actions, which in turn says something about their character.
Section 1: The Top 10 Greatest Leaders of All Time
10. Muhammad P.B.U.H (PBUH): Prophet Mohammad (PBUH)
The first leader of Muslims, Muhammad P.B.U.H was the most prolific and successful military and political leader of the time. His world changed forever when he accepted Islam, with a bloody war that lasted for 20 years. The Saudi Press Agency has quoted Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) as saying:
"Allah gave victory to those who were victorious and disgrace to those who were defeated. Do you all see that God has given you victory in the wars and the wayfarers, so that God may have pity on those who are on the path to paradise." (Al-Anbiyaan, 160)
Marcus Aurelius, Roman Emperor and philosopher, was an innovative leader in the history of the ancient Roman Empire.
Muhammad P.B.U.H---The Leader of Heroes
Muhammad is revered as a great leader and indeed the greatest leader of all time. No other leader has caused so much death and destruction in such a short space of time. Not even Hitler caused so much physical destruction. What made Muhammad’s feats truly extraordinary was the way he conquered such huge and diverse empires and cities in such a short space of time.
Here are the top ten greatest leaders of all time:
10. Field Marshal Sir Henry Wilson, British General, 1914-1919
4. General George S Patton, American General, 1945-1946
3. Napoleon Bonaparte, French Emperor, 1769-1821
2. General Charles Martel, Frankish King, 712-41, 713-42, 714-36, 714-38, 715-19
Applications for the Lessons Learnt from Muhammad P.B.U.H
For some leaders, power is an abstract idea and the only thing that matters is how it affects their bottom line. They are willing to do whatever it takes to succeed.
However, there is another breed of leaders who genuinely believe in humanism and altruism.
These leaders act more like universal emperors – a king for the people who cares about his people. They have the ability to influence others and build an organisation that enables them to deliver humanistic values to the people.
Today, let us have a look at some of the greatest leaders of all time and their ability to impact and inspire people. These are people who had tremendous power but the capacity to create social change.
Have you ever been judged by the content of your character rather than the attributes that make you who you are? Do you judge a person by his material or emotional characteristics, or do you judge him by his character?
It takes a particular set of attributes to be able to lead people towards a vision and deliver on it.
