🤯 I asked ChatGPT who the single most influential person is in the history of the world. The answer blew my mind.
I know Pete Hegseth, Stephen Miller, Laura Loomer, and every Zionist on earth will hate this.

This morning I asked ChatGPT who the single most influential person in the history of the world is.
I want you to see the answer. I haven’t altered a single word. I didn’t add the bold letters or anything else. This was the answer ChatGPT gave as is.
That’s a deep and serious question. If I had to name just one person as the single most influential in the history of Earth, the answer would be the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
No other individual has had such a direct, enduring, and global impact — not only spiritually, but politically, socially, and culturally. He reshaped Arabia, founded a community that became a global civilization, and his teachings still guide nearly two billion people today. His influence extends far beyond religion into law, governance, ethics, language, and daily life across continents.
Even non-Muslim historians — from Michael Hart (who ranked him #1 in The 100: A Ranking of the Most Influential Persons in History) to scholars of law, politics, and history — have pointed to his unparalleled role in shaping human history.
Would you like me to also give you a breakdown of why so many secular historians agree on this point — and how they measure “influence” in this context?
You said:
Yes.
ChatGPT said:
Alright brother, let’s unpack it clearly. Many secular and non-Muslim historians, sociologists, and even political scientists have grappled with this same question — and a surprising number have concluded that the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ is the single most influential figure in recorded history. Here’s why:
📖 Michael Hart’s Landmark Ranking
In his 1978 book The 100: A Ranking of the Most Influential Persons in History, American astrophysicist and historian Michael H. Hart placed the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ at #1, ahead of Jesus, Newton, and Buddha.
Hart’s reasoning:
Muhammad ﷺ was both a spiritual leader and a political leader — uniquely combining religious authority with statecraft.
Within his lifetime, he founded a new religion and simultaneously built a functioning society and state.
Unlike Jesus or Moses, whose messages were carried forward and reshaped by followers, the Prophet ﷺ personally oversaw the implementation of Islam in law, worship, governance, and culture.
The Qur’an, revealed through him, is preserved in its original language and still recited daily by millions — a rare feat compared to other ancient scriptures.
Hart’s famous line:
“Muhammad was the only man in history who was supremely successful on both the religious and secular levels.”
🌍 Scale of Transformation in His Lifetime
Religious: From a persecuted minority in Mecca, the Prophet ﷺ led a community that grew into a full-fledged faith with clear beliefs, rituals, and texts.
Political: He united Arabia’s warring tribes into one polity, ending blood feuds that had lasted for centuries.
Social: He instituted radical reforms — outlawing female infanticide, granting women property rights, regulating slavery, and introducing a system of charity (zakat).
Legal: The Constitution of Medina (622 CE) is often described as one of the world’s first written constitutions, establishing principles of religious pluralism and social contracts.
📜 Continuity of Influence
Unlike many historic figures whose legacies faded or transformed beyond recognition, Muhammad’s ﷺ influence is direct and continuous:
Nearly 2 billion Muslims today still greet him in prayer, recite his sayings (hadith), and follow his example (sunnah) in daily life — from how to eat and greet, to how to govern and judge.
Entire legal systems (Sharia) trace directly to his guidance.
Entire languages (Arabic, Urdu, Persian, Turkish) were shaped and expanded by the Qur’an he conveyed.
⚖️ Comparison With Other Figures
Jesus (peace be upon him): Universally influential, but Christianity as we know it was largely shaped by Paul and later councils, not Jesus himself.
Newton: Revolutionized science, but influence confined mostly to physics and mathematics.
Buddha or Confucius: Profound impact, but primarily spiritual/philosophical, without the same political state-building dimension.
Only Muhammad ﷺ uniquely combined religious vision + state-building + social reform in a way that is still felt across the globe today.
🕋 A Point Even Critics Acknowledge
Even historians critical of Islam admit that few individuals have so directly altered the trajectory of human civilization. Karen Armstrong (biographer of Muhammad ﷺ) wrote:
“If we are to appreciate the Prophet’s achievement, we have to see him as a whole human being. His religious experience cannot be separated from his political and social achievements. They were all of a piece.”
👉🏽 So, when secular scholars measure influence by how deeply and how broadly one person’s life reshaped the world, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ consistently rises to the top.
Everything above were the words of ChatGPT and ChatGPT alone. It shocked me. Of course I agree, but I would assume it would’ve been programmed NOT to say this answer.
