Who is the most popular person in history?

Answer 1

It is the Prophet Mohamed. Today, he has over a billion followers of all different nationalities.

Michael H. Hart wrote a famous book called The 100: A Ranking Of The Most Influential Persons In History, naming whom he considers the most historically important people in the categories of political and religious leaders, inventors, writers, artists, and others who changed the course of history. His top three choices were: Prophet MohamedSir Isaac NewtonJesusIsabelle Aragonez

Jesus and Mohamed are both fictional characters. The most popular person in history is Adolf Hitler, there is not a single person in today's world that does not know the name of Hitler.

Another Opinion:

The historical existence of Jesus Christ has been proven, He is NOT a fictional character, and He has more followers than any other person ever had.

Prophet Muhammad**(PBUH) is not fictional.. Hes was real and their is someone on earth that does not know the name of Hitler.

Question is about most popular not most notorious or most hated. Muhammed is perhaps most notorious/ feared and hated. Popularity contest goes to Jesus or Michael Jackson.

Michael Jackson is not the most popular person in history. We are talking about the whole world and the past 8000 years. Therefore Jesus and Muhammad have to be two of the most popular people in history. Those two people basically began the biggest religions each with millions and millions and millions of followers. Even if you don't follow Christianity or Islam, you should still know who those people are because they contributed a lot to world history.
