Michael H. Hart
“My choice of Muhammad to lead the list of the world's most influential persons may surprise some readers and may be questioned by others, but he was the only man in history who was supremely successful on both the religious and secular level.”
Michael H. Hart, The 100: A Ranking of the Most Influential Persons in History

Muhammad Ali Jinnah
“No settlement with the majority is possible as no Hindu leader speaking with any authority shows any concern or genuine desire for it.”
Muhammad Ali Jinnah
