Where is the full list of 100 people?

edit

It would be interesting to see the entire list - the title of this article suggests it would be found in the article. Fustbariclation (talk) 10:38, 11 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

I'm guessing you need to buy the book? This is just a summary of the book, so I wouldn't expect it to list all 100. Knitsey (talk) 10:45, 11 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

What criteria were used?

edit

It would be good to have more of an explanation of what criteria were used to get to this list. All such rankings will be flawed, inevidably, because ranking such different people is really a silly thing to do. To mitigate this, it is good to have a clearer idea of what the method actually was.

I haven't read this book (not my cup of tea) although, from the way the summary is written, it might have come down to Michael H. Harts opinion. Knitsey (talk) 10:47, 11 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Requesting added respect to Jesus

edit

Since Jesus is a prophet of Islam, and depictions of prophets is not permissible, not accurate and not respectable, I highly recommend to replace Jesus's photo by a nicely written name of him, in a similar respectable fashion that is done to the prophet Mohammad, may the peace and the prayers of God be upon them all. It is not polite to put our imaginations to describe a prophet like Jesus. For example, some artists depict him as a highly feminine person simply because he was born without a father, which does not make sense, and may not do Jesus justice. Therefore, to err on the safe side, we better not attempt to depict him, but rather write his name in a respectable way.

I understand that Jesus is also a prophet in Christianity. However, it does not harm Christians to honour Jesus up to a higher standard, while it does harm Muslims to treat Jesus at a lower level. Therefore, I kindly request to apply this higher standard with Jesus. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:920:198C:83C:6368:537D:F8B4:5555 (talk) 09:47, 24 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

"For example, some artists depict him as a highly feminine person" Do you mean an effeminate man? Dimadick (talk) 11:46, 24 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
Agreed. Now Muslims are gonna say that there prophet was better than ours which is not true. 50.234.119.57 (talk) 09:41, 11 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
