How would he deal with Muslims like Osama Bin Ladin, Ahmadinejad, Muhammad Karzi, the many Islamic doctors in our hospitals, our friend Farad1, the Saudi Royal Family, and to the average men and women who comprise almost 2 billion of the Earth's population?
Christians often ask me, "What would Jesus do?" So I would also like to know what Muhammad (PBUH) would SAY? To Muslims and those of us who are not.

Allow me to correct you, my name is Fahad not farad. As far as your question is concerned, it is not easy to answer this question since I including all the muslims are not aware of what Prophet(pbuh) would be doing at present if he was here with us but according to my limited knowledge and understanding I am pretty sure that after seeing the level of luxuries and comfort in Saudia and other Middle Eastern Countries, he would surely be in great pain and would be really disappointed with what is happening with muslims.
Unfortunately in Saudia Arab and other Khalijeeh Countries ,you see wealth flowing like water and their government system is based on Kingdom where as in Islam their is no concept of kingdom and the only form of government or administration accepted in the eyes of Islam is Caliphate(Khilafat) which consist of many aspects of democracy as well.
The democratic system that you see in Europe today is a mixture of Western style and Islamic Style but the Caliphate that Islam talks about is much different from the Western Democracy and that is basically because Western Civilization is based on the economic system unlike Islamic Civilization which is based on ,rational,religious, moral and spiritual teachings and which guides us how to run the economy.
What I think is that If Prophet Muhammad(pbuh) would be alive today then he would not be happy with the present situation of Muslims and if you read some predictions of Prophet Muhammad(pbuh) about the present modern muslims then you will come to know that he already knew what will be the future of muslims.
So it would not be something new for Prophet Muhammad(pbuh) but what I know is that he will encourage the muslims to refer to the basic sources of Islam which is Qur'an and his Sunnah because these are the only 2 sources of guidance in Islam.
Unfortunately present muslims have moved away from the main teachings of Islam and argue over silly and baseless matters that donot have any relevance with Islam or with rationality.
I agree with you that what has happened to the Islamic Civilization of medival times and how did it end? well the renassance of West started after the end of Muslim Civilization and it became only possible when State was seperated from Church because teachings of Christianity are not in complete harmony with Modern Scientific Researches and Investigations so the secular groups in Europe decided to seperate the teachings of Christianity from State so that State could independently make progress in Science and Technology.
According to Christian Scholars ,making progress in Science and Technology is against the teachings of their religion and they dissuaded their new generation from learning science and other knowledge ,so their was a conflict between secular party and religious party.
Unlike in Islamic Civilization where their is no such conflict between religion and science and muslims progress during medival times was because of their closeness with Islamic Teachings contrary to the Christians progress which is due to their isolation from Christian teachings.
How interesting isnt it?
