Mohammed the founder of Islam was reported by early 7th century sources to be a false prophet. - see the Doctrina Jacobi.
The history of Islam has seen a number of false prophets, some of them go back to as early as the age of Muhammad, such as Musaylimah, al-Ansi, Tulayha ibn Khuwaylid and Sajah.[4]
In recent history the figure of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad has been the subject of much controversy in this regard. He is considered a false prophet by Main-stream Orthodox Muslims.[5] The followers of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, though, revere him as a saint and call themselves Ahmadi Muslims. Ahmadis have been been declared non-Muslims by the government of Pakistan,[6] and their beliefs considered heretical and outside of Islam.[7] Ahmaids claim to be within the fold of Islam and deny the allegations leveled against them.[8]
