Nicholson, opines that, “The Qur’an is a splendid humanistic document, which explains in detail the secret of the behaviour of Muhammad in all the events of his life. Furthermore, Lord Hadleigh says about Prophet Muhammad (SAW): “The Arabian Prophet had powerful and strong morals and a personality, which weighed up, examined, and tested every step he took in his life.

For me, there can be no human explanation to the Qur’an.” The greatness of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) is endless.
