The Most Influential Persons in History




The 100: A Ranking of the Most Influential Persons in History is a 1978 book by Michael H. Hart, reprinted in 1992 with revisions. It is a ranking of the 100 people who, according to Hart, most influenced human history.

The first person on Hart's list is Muhammad. Hart asserted that Muhammad was "supremely successful" in both the religious and secular realms. He also believed that Muhammad's role in the development of Islam was far more influential than Jesus' collaboration in the development of Christianity. He attributes the development of Christianity to St. Paul, who played a pivotal role in its dissemination.


Muhammad p.b.u.h. The central human figure of Islam, regarded by Muslims as the last messenger and prophet of God. Active as a social reformer, diplomat, humanitarian, philanthropist, merchant, philosopher, orator, legislator, and military leader.
