This was what Muhammad Siddiq Khan widely known as M S Khan wrote to Justice Abu Sayeed Chowdhury, President of the People's Republic of Bangladesh and Chancellor of Dhaka University on the financial straits and psychological devastation he suffered at the fag end of his life after retirement.

 Islam Watch - "Islamic Terrorism – Is it a New Threat?" by MA Khan
Consider the case of Muhammad’s raiding the Jewish enclave of Banu Quraiza, because they did not join the Muslim army when the Meccans attacked the Muslims in the famous battle of the Trench, which, the Quraiza tribe was allegedly obligated to do because of a covenant of mutual protection signed years earlier.
The first reason of unwillingness of the Quraiza people to join the battle that Muhammad started was that the Jewish people were sick and tired of such violent activities and blood-baths, raiding and plundering expeditions and fighting wars one after another, which became the prominent feature of the Medina citizens' life once Muslims became powerful.
Instead, Muhammad decided to slaughter all the males of weapon-bearing age, around 600 to 900 in numbers, captured their women and children as slaves and took possession of their homes, properties and farms as spoils of war and distributed them amongst the Muslims who had participated in this genocide.

 Ismailis of Afghanistan - By Mumtaz Ali Tajjdin - Historical Review
Muhammad Azim, the full brother of Fateh Khan, and Dost Muhammad, his half-brother, took the field to avenge the Vizir’s wrongs, with the result that Mahmud fled from Kabul and was deposed in 1818, having first caused Fateh Khan to be murdered.
Muhammad Azim held Kabul and was the principal administrator of the kingdom; but he was neither king nor amir, and his brothers, who were governors of provinces, and other Afghan chiefs could scarcely be said to obey him.
In 1850, Dost Muhammad reconquered Balkh, and in 1855 the renewal of friendly intercourse between the amir and the British government led to the conclusion of a treaty at Peshawar, while in the same year the amir made himself master of Kandahar.

The Achakzais of Kadanai have complained to Muhammad Usman Khan, the son of the Governor, against Yakub Khan, Achakzai, for calling upon them to furnish a tribal force for the coercion of the inhabitants of Shorawak.

Amir Yakub Khan had been in the job for eight months when he abdicated in 1879 saying he “would rather be a grass cutter in an English camp than ruler of Afghanistan”.
But it was his efforts to Westernise the country, introducing Western dress and education for women, that lost him popular support so that when a Tajik bandit known as Bacha-i-Saqao led a revolt in 1928, Amanullah fled in a Rolls Royce through the snow drifts to British-ruled India.

 Life and work of R. Soedewo
Soedewo’s passion for knowledge and devotion for the propagation of Islam enabled him to accomplish at the young age of twenty-eight the Dutch translation of such a voluminous and literary work as the English translation of the Holy Quran with commentary by Maulana Muhammad Ali.
It may be pointed out that the Maulana’s first edition of the English translation, which Soedewo ventured to translate into Dutch, contained more copious footnotes and a very exhaustive introduction as compared to the Maulana’s revised edition published in 1951.
His thought-provoking lectures were always impressive and inspiring.  It will not be an exaggeration to record that he was the main Indonesian architect of the invaluable literature produced on Islam and the Ahmadiyya Movement.  He deserved to be classed as the pioneer of Lahore Ahmadiyya Movement in Indonesia.
