Dubai: A number of non-Muslim historians and intellectuals have applauded and described The Prophet Mohammad's (PBUH) persona as "outstanding and judicious" in a documentary, produced by the Dubai International Holy Quran Award (DIHQA).

The organising committee of DIHQA, chaired by Ebrahim Mohammad Bu Melha, produced the documentary in which several non-Muslim figures praise the Prophet's persona and give their testimonies about his character.

Achievements

Ahmad Al Zahid, DIHQA's Head of Media, said, "The documentary titled Mohammad: Mercy for Humankind, discusses the Prophet's persona through the eyes of several non-Muslim politicians, historians, thinkers, academicians and philosophers using history."

Al Zahid added: "From the different readings and findings they encountered through history, the figures showed a high regard for the Prophet's persona and manners besides his achievements and efforts in spreading Islam worldwide."

Bu Melha said: "We have distributed the documentary to more than 20 satellite channels that have been airing it to millions of viewers."

DIHQA will also be distributing the documentary to more TV stations and has produced it on CDs and DVDs to be broadcast over the internet as well, Al Zahid said.
