Muhammad’s life at Mecca was model of a peaceful person

Arabia at the Time of the Prophet's Birth

From very childhood he was given to reflection
and meditation. In the quarrels and rivalries of others
he took no part, except with a view to putting an end to
them. It is said that the tribes living in Mecca and the
territories around, tired of unending blood-feuds,
resolved to found an association the purpose of which
was to help victims of aggressive and unjust treatment.

When the Holy Prophet (sa) heard of this, he gladly joined.
Members of this association gave an undertaking in the
following terms:

They will help those who were oppressed and will restore
them their rights, as long as the last drop of water
remained in the sea. And if they do not do so, they will
compensate the victims out of their own belongings (Sirat
Ibni Hisham by Imam Suhaili).

It seems that no other member of this association
was ever called upon to discharge the undertaking
solemnly entered into by members of this association.

But opportunity came to the Holy Prophet (sa) when he
had announced his Mission. His worst enemy was Abu
Jahl, a chief of Mecca. He preached social boycott and
public humiliation of the Prophet (sa). About that time a
person from outside came to Mecca. Money was due to
him from Abu Jahl, but Abu Jahl refused to pay. He
mentioned this to people in Mecca.

Some young men,
out of sheer mischief, suggested that he should
approach the Prophet (sa). They thought that the Prophet (sa)
would refuse to do anything for fear of the general
opposition to him and particularly for fear of the
opposition of Abu Jahl. If he refused to help this man,
he would be said to have broken his pledge to the
association. If, on the other hand, he did not refuse and
chose to approach Abu Jahl for the restitution of this
loan, Abu Jahl was certain to turn him away with
contempt. This man went to the Prophet (sa) and
complained to him about Abu Jahl. The Prophet (sa),
hesitating not a minute, stood up, went with the man
and knocked at Abu Jahl's door.

Abu Jahl came out and
saw that his creditor was standing with the Prophet (sa).
The Prophet (sa) mentioned the loan and suggested its
payment. Abu Jahl was taken aback and, making no
excuses, paid at once. When the other chiefs of Mecca
heard of this they reproved Abu Jahl, telling him how
weak and self-contradictory he had proved. He preached
the social boycott of the Prophet (sa), yet he himself
accepted direction from the Prophet (sa) and paid a loan on
his suggestion.

In self-defence, Abu Jahl pleaded that
any other person would have done the same. He told
them that as he saw the Prophet (sa) standing at his door,
he also saw two wild camels standing one on each side,
ready to attack. We cannot say what this experience
was. Was it a miraculous appearance designed to upset
Abu Jahl or was it the awe-inspiring presence of the
Prophet (sa) which produced this hallucination?

A man hated and oppressed by a whole town had taken the
courage to go alone to the leader of that town and
demand the restitution of a loan. Maybe this very
unexpected sight frightened Abu Jahl and for a moment
made him forget what he had sworn to do against the
Prophet (sa), and forced him to do as the Prophet (sa)
suggested (Hisham).

Those who believe Muhammad was not a peaceful person they may read it and comment on it to understand Muhammad/Quran/Islam in their true image.

Quran presented life of Muhammad at Mecca as a sign to the Meccan non-believers:

The Holy Quran : Chapter 10: Yunus

[10:16] And when Our clear Signs are recited unto them, those who look not for the meeting with Us say, ‘Bring a Qur’an other than this or change it.’ Say, ‘It is not for me to change it of my own accord. I only follow what is revealed to me. Indeed, I fear, if I disobey my Lord, the punishment of an awful day.’
[10:17] Say, ‘If Allah had so willed, I should not have recited it to you nor would He have made it known to you. I have indeed lived among you a whole lifetime before this. Will you not then understand?’
[10:18] Who is then more unjust than he who forges a lie against Allah or he who treats His Signs as lies? Surely, the guilty shall never prosper.

I would highly suggest people in this thread, both Muslim and non-Muslim, to read Islam by Karen Armstrong and Muhammad by Karen Armstrong.

Hahahahahahahaha.. I've read both and Karen Armstrong is about as accurate as a Marvel comic book. She is an embarrassment.

Muhammad’s life at Mecca was model of a peaceful person

HOLY PROPHET'S (sa) MARRIAGE WITH KHADIJA (ra)

When the Prophet (sa) was about twenty-five years old,
his reputation for integrity and fellow-feeling had spread
over the whole of the town. People would point admiring
fingers at him and say, here was a man who could be
trusted. This reputation reached the ears of a rich
widow who approached the Prophet's (sa) uncle, Abu Talib,
to let his nephew lead a trading caravan of hers to Syria.
Abu Talib mentioned this to the Prophet (sa) and the
Prophet (sa) agreed.

The expedition met with great success
and brought unexpected profits. The rich widow,
Khadija (ra), was convinced that the success of the caravan
was due not only to the conditions of the market in Syria,
but also to the integrity and efficiency of its
leader. She interrogated her slave, Maisara, on this
subject, and Maisara supported her view and told her
that the honesty and sympathy with which this young
leader of the caravan had managed her affairs would not
be shown by many persons.

Khadija (ra) was much impressed by this account. She was forty
years of age and had already been widowed twice. She sent a woman
friend of hers to the Prophet (sa) to find out whether he
would be persuaded to marry her. This woman went to
the Prophet (sa) and asked why he had not married. The
Prophet (sa) replied he was not rich enough to do so.

The visitor suggested whether he would agree, if a rich and
respectable woman were found whom he could marry.
The Prophet (sa) asked who this woman could be, and the
visitor said she was Khadija (ra). The Prophet (sa) apologized,
saying that Khadija (ra) was too highly placed for him. The
visitor undertook to deal with all difficulties. In that
case, said the Prophet (sa), there was nothing for him to
say but to agree.

It is not true. Muhammad did announce to be a prophet/messenger of G-d in Mecca.

The Holy Quran : Chapter 20: TaHa

[20:134] And they say, ‘Why does he not bring us a Sign from his Lord?’ Has there not come to them the clear evidence in what is contained in the former Books?
[20:135] And if We had destroyed them with a punishment before it they would have surely said, ‘Our Lord, wherefore didst Thou not send to us a Messenger that we might have followed Thy commandments before we were humbled and disgraced?’
[20:136] Say, ‘Each one is waiting; wait ye, therefore, and you will know who are the people of the right path and who follow true guidance.’

Muhammad’s life at Mecca was model of a peaceful person

HOLY PROPHET MUHAMMAD’S(sa) MARRIAGE WITH KHADIJA (ra)

Khadija (ra) then sent a message to the
Prophet's (sa) uncle. Marriage between the Prophet (sa) and
Khadija (ra) was settled and solemnized. A poor man
orphaned in, childhood had his first peep into
prosperity. He became rich. But the use he made of his
riches is an object-lesson to all mankind.

After the marriage Khadija (ra) felt that she was rich and he was
poor and that this inequality between them would not
make for happiness. So she proposed to make over her
property and her slaves to the Prophet (sa). The Prophet (sa),
making sure that Khadija (ra) was in earnest, declared that
as soon as he had any of Khadija's (ra) slaves, he would set
them free. And he did so.

Moreover, the greater part of the property which he received from Khadija (ra) he
distributed among the poor.

Among the slaves whom he
thus set free was one Zaid (ra). He appeared to be more
intelligent and more alert than others. He belonged to a
respectable family, had been kidnapped as a child and
sold from place to place until he reached Mecca.
Young Zaid (ra), newly freed, saw at once that it was
better to sacrifice freedom for the sake of slavery to the
Prophet (sa). When the Prophet (sa) set the slaves free, Zaid (ra)
refused to be freed and asked leave to continue to live
with the Prophet (sa). He did so, and as time went on his
attachment to the Prophet (sa) grew.

But in the meantime Zaid's (ra) father and his uncle were on his track and they
ultimately heard that he was in Mecca. In Mecca they
traced him in the house of the Prophet (sa). Coming to the
Prophet (sa), they asked for the liberty of Zaid (ra) and offered
to pay as much ransom as the Prophet (sa) should
demand. The Prophet (sa) said that Zaid (ra) was free and
could go with them as he liked.

He sent for Zaidra and showed him his father and uncle. After the parties had
met and dried their tears, Zaid's (ra) father told him that
he had been freed by his kind Master and, as his mother
was much afflicted by the separation, he had better
return home. Zaid (ra) replied, "Father! who does not love
his parents? My heart is full of love for you and mother.
But I love this man Muhammad (sa) so much that I cannot
think of living elsewhere than with him. I have met you
and I am glad. But separation from Muhammadsa I
cannot endure."

Zaid's (ra) father and his uncle did their
utmost to persuade Zaid (ra) to return home with them but
Zaid (ra) did not agree. Upon this the Holy Prophet (sa) said,
"Zaid (ra) was a freedman already, but from today he will
be my son." Seeing this affection between Zaid (ra) and the
Prophet (sa), Zaid's (ra) father and uncle went back and Zaid (ra)
remained with the Prophet (sa) (Hisham).

One is remembered for the best status one has. Muhammad was the highest ranking prophet , the end time reformer Mirza Ghulam Ahmad is his follower.

I don't kn much about Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, or his Ahmadiyya Movement, but Ghulam Ahmad deserved the title of "Prince of Peace" more so than Muhammad do; a title which you gave to Muhammad.

You may believe that he is a prophet, but the fact that he got involved in politics and wars and raids, and sold women and children into slavery, also make him a politician, a warlord, a brigand and slaver. That's hardly makes him a man of peace, let alone prince of peace.

 

[Al-Fatihah]

Muhammad (saw) was able to establish peace and tranquility amongst a people who were well-removed from such a concept and at the same time, never attacked and harmed an innocent person. Neither, man, woman, or child. All historical evidence supports this. For this reason, this is why despite all criticism, Islam remains as one of the fastest growing religions and Muhammad (saw) is acknowledged among many Non-Muslim scholars and thinkers as one of the most powerful and influential persons in human history.

Mirza Ghulam Ahmad was just a sincere and truthful follower of Muhammad that is why Mirza Ghulam Ahmad is called his lawful successor.

War was thrust on Muhammad; he abhorred it and never liked it. Quran mentions it:

The Holy Quran : Chapter 2: Al-Baqarah

[2:217] Fighting is ordained for you, though it is repugnant to you; but it may be that you dislike a thing while it is good for you, and it may be that you like a thing while it is bad for you. Allah knows all things, and you know not.

The Holy Quran Arabic text with Translation in English text and Search Engine - Al Islam Online

Muhammad conducted even the defensive wars in such a wise way that least causalities should occur of both sides.

People don't realize it.
