Category: Was Muhammad a Prophet of God?

The question of  Was Muhammad a Prophet of God  is central to Islamic belief. Muslims regard Muhammad as the last prophet, known as the “Seal of the Prophets,” who delivered God’s final revelation to humanity through the Quran. His life and teachings serve as a guide for all aspects of life, emphasizing monotheism, moral conduct, and social justice. However, opinions vary outside the Islamic tradition. Critics argue that Muhammad’s actions and teachings should be evaluated within their historical context, raising questions about certain practices associated with his life, such as warfare and gender relations.
In Christianity and Judaism, this question is answered with a definitive “no,” as these faiths believe that prophetic revelations ended with their respective prophets. Thus, the question reflects broader theological disagreements between Islam and other faiths regarding the nature and role of prophecy.
