Prophet Mohammad- his qualities and Islam

Even though I took birth in a Hindu family, I am more inspired from the thoughts of Buddha than any other spiritual guru. Gautam Buddha has said, “Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.” 
On internet I see lots of Anti-Muslim elements. I was little surprised when my own friend started sharing such half-baked truths regarding Islam and Prophet Mohammad. I have personally analysed Prophet Mohammad and I am here to talk in his favour.
There are many terrorists group which have acclaimed that they are acting in the name of Allah. It is non-sense because in Quran it is written- “Do not fight with anyone unless someone fights with you and do not commit any immorality as Allah does not likes the immoral.” Then how can they say that they are doing something in the name of Allah?
At the time of Brahminism maximum power was with Brahmins and they misguided people for their benefits. This happened in Christianity also where once maximum power was enjoyed by the Church and many crimes took place in the name of religion. History repeats itself because we learn nothing from history. Today Islam has come into the state which Hindus and Christians have already passed.
Don’t judge a Religion by seeing its followers because sometimes followers themselves don’t know what they are following is right or wrong.
If you want to know about Prophet Mohammad read this- “The Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, used to feed the camels himself: He would perform household chores: mend shoes, darn clothes, milk goats, and eat in the company of servants. If a servant became tired while grinding flour, he would help him at this. He would not feel belittled carrying household goods from the market to the house. He would shake hands with the rich and the poor alike. He would always be the first to extend greetings. He would not disdain accepting an invitation not even so small an invitation as to join in eating dates. He relieved those who toiled. He was mild tempered and kind hearted. His conduct was excellent and he was always cheerful. He would smile but would not laugh loudly; he would not frown even when vexed. He was humble, but not lowly; generous, but not extravagant. He was tender hearted and merciful to all Muslims alike. He would never eat his fill to the point where one is likely to start yawning. He would never extend his hand motivated by greed.” (Mishkaat)

Now ask yourself, Prophet Mohammad was a right person or wrong? I believe after reading this you will understand that he was a great man but unfortunately many people don’t know about his greatness.
