Professor K.S. Ramakrishna Rao, a Hindu philosopher, in his booklet “MUHAMMAD – The Prophet of Islam” quotes the arch-devil himself, yes, Adolf Hitler, to prove the unique greatness of Muhammad (pbuh).
Prof. Ramakrishna Rao while discussing the amazing personality of Prophet Muhammad, says:
“There is Muhammad, the Prophet.
There is Muhammad, the Warrior;
Muhammad, the Businessman;
Muhammad, the Statesman;
Muhammad, the Orator;
Muhammad, the Reformer;
Muhammad, the Refuge of Orphans;
Muhammad, the protector of Slaves;
Muhammad, the emancipator of women;
Muhammad, the Judge;
Muhammad, the Saint.
All in all these magnificent roles, in all these departments of human activities, he is alike a hero”.
The Professor, saw in Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” a three faceted jewel, a rare commodity which he found in Prophet Muhammad.

Adolph Hitler – What makes the Greatest Man?
Professor Rao quotes Hitler where he outlines the characteristics of a truly great man:
“It would be a serious mistake to view an abundance of theoretical knowledge as proof of leadership qualities or as a sign of organizational skill which are both necessary for a leader. The opposite is usually true.
Great theorists are rarely great organizers.
The greatness of a theorist lies in his ability to understand and establish abstract laws that are correct, while the organizer must primarily be an expert in understanding the human mind.
The leader has to take a man as he is, therefore he must understand him. He can neither overestimate him nor underestimate him, either individually or when looking at a group of men.
On the contrary he must try to take weakness and animal-tenacity equally into consideration; the organizer must evaluate all factors in order to create a structure which is filled with animated, constant power as if it were a living being.
Then the organization will be capable of embodying an idea and paving the way for its success.
It is even more rare to find a great theorist who is also a great leader of men.
A leader is much more likely to be an agitator. Those who have a lighter temperament may not like this assertion; however, the truth in it is obvious.
An agitator has to understand human nature if he is able to make the masses absorb an idea, even if he only manipulates their emotions.
Such emotional manipulation still makes him better qualified for leadership than the theorist who does not know how men think or how the world works.
To be a leader means having the ability to move the masses. The ability to form ideas has nothing to do with the ability to lead.
In this connection it is quite pointless to argue over which is of greater importance: to conceive human ideals and aims or to make them a reality. As it happens so often in life, one would be meaningless without the other.
The most beautiful theoretical idea has no purpose and has no value unless a leader directs the masses towards that idea.
On the other hand, there would be no use for the energy or genius of a leader if the clever theorist did not establish a goal for mankind to struggle toward.
The combination of theorist, organizer, and leader in one person is the rarest thing to be found upon this planet; this combination will create a great man.”
Professor Rao then concludes, in his own words, “In the person of the prophet of Islam the world has seen this rarest phenomenon on earth, walking in flesh and blood.”
