Prophet hood: the root of the west-Islam contention

An economist had once said: "Today, the only and the biggest threat to Western civilization is the faith and commitment of the Muslims to their Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah exalt his mention ) which is the source of unlimited strength for them."

Let us now briefly examine how.

It is no more dependent on any metaphysical being for knowledge and guidance. It is self-sufficient and independent of any divine source and concept, which it adopted in the early days for its inner contentment.
