Dr. Samuel Johnson (1709 – 84) is an English Lexicographer, writer, critic and outstanding conversationalist and leading figure of literary London of the 18th Century. During his literary discourse about religion and politics he remarked about the Prophet Muhammad:
“His purely historical character, his simple humanity, claiming to be a man among men, his intense realism avoiding all mystical remoteness, the thoroughly democratic and universal form under which his idea of divine monarchy led him to conceive the relations of man, the force of ethical appeal, all affiliate Muhammad with the modem world”1
