Why Prophet Mohammed seemed to be the only one well known among non-islamic faith? Even in this forum Prophet Mohammed seemed to be the only one standing out among all prophets?
Of course, this is just my personal observation.

It was during Prophet Muhammad's lifetime that the Quran was revealed. Hence, he is the leader of the Muslims, but he remains a slave of God nonetheless.
Your observation has been good, but take notice that we treat all prophets alike, including Prophet Jesus. Prophet Muhammad only perfected the religion for us, and we believe that no other prophet came or will come after him.

I understand what is your question about.
In Islam Mohammed ( pbuh) is a great prophet. The last one, who had got revelation from God- Quran.
At the same time Islam belief is based not on prophet Mohammed biography. It is based on Quran, the rvelation of God.
As per Quran God make all prophets equall, prophets who are in Bible - Abraham, Solomon, David, Iakob, Moses, Jesus off course... Mohammed is the last one..
All the rest you should know as well. Muslims do not belive in any other different prophets, only in those which are in Quran, Tourah, Bible...
When you read Quran you will find revelations about other prophets which i had mentioned above, and who are in Bible as well

actually if you want to chose the most important prophet, then it's Abraham, which God took Abraham as very close friend and.which Quran asked us to follow the path of Abraham:
Quran 4:
[125] And who can be better in religion than one who submits his face (himself) to Allâh and he is a Muhsin (a good-doer - see V.2:112). And follows the religion of Ibrâhîm (Abraham) Hanîfa (Islâmic Monotheism - to worship none but Allâh Alone). And Allâh did take Ibrâhîm (Abraham) as a Khalil (an intimate friend)!
Muhammad is the sealed of the prophets who is responsible to carry this last warning to the people & Jinnies on earth. it's not because he is better than any prophet or someone else is better than him. it's just his duties was very important. as the Quran will remain frever without unchange.
Muhammad was also teaching muslims about Islam by telling them a lesson stories from previous prophets before him.

Salam. That is a good question, thank you for asking. The answers are :
1) It is because the other prophets are not being highlighted by the media or writings accessible to non-Muslims. You can find many writings about them in books at libraries that caters to diverse Islamic materials. My previous university has volumes and volumes of writings about them and I even purchased some for my home use. Unfortunately most writings can only be found in Muslim countries - blame it on poor publications circulation - not lack of writings about them.
At the same time, it is because
2) Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was the LAST prophet and because of that, Allah has perfected Man's religion through him (Prophet Muhammad) which is being documented in the Holy Book Al Quran.
It is THIS documentation that enable men to elaborate more about Allah's words. The previous prophet's teaching (which is the same as Prophet Muhammad's) has now lost due to time and corruption of their Holy Scripture.
You can refer here for all the prophet's standing to Muslims :
Quran Chapter 2 (Al Baqarah) : 285
" The Messenger (Muhammad (peace be upon him)) believes in what has been sent down to him from his Lord, and (so do) the believers. Each one believes in Allâh, His Angels, His Books, and His Messengers. They say, "We make no distinction between one another of His Messengers" - and they say, "We hear, and we obey. (We seek) Your Forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the return (of all)."
Also, refer here for Prophet Muhammad's standing as the last prophet but does not in any way means belittling the other prophets :
Al Quran Chapter 33 (Al Ahzab):40.
"Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but (he is) the Messenger of Allah, and the Seal of the Prophets: and Allah has full knowledge of all things."

because those who didn't believe in Prophet Mohammed's message failed to destroy it and went on to try to defame his character.
they spread lies and propaganda about Muslims and Islam to start conflicts between Muslims and non Muslims.
any one that studies the life of prophet Muhammed (seera) with an open mind and an open heart will indeed give him the respect he deserves!
many people started this disgusting insults after the Cartoons fiasco simply to trigger us and make is more mad. idiots is what i call them.
we certainly respect ALL prophets and they are all on the same level of respect but we follow prophet Mohammed's way of life as we are commanded.
there's no better behavior than to follow a Prophet of God.
Muhammed was mentioned in the bible as the comforter and he indeed was!!
Peace and blessings be upon him.

We believe in all the Prophets of Allah (Peace be upon them all) and in all Allah's revealed books in their original form.
Prophet Muhammed (Peace be upon him) was the chosen Prophet to deliver the message of Islam to humanity.
He is the most beloved to Allah from amongst the Prophets (Peace be upon them all) and he is the Leader of the Prophets (Peace be upon them all).
We honour and hold every Prophet (Peace be upon them all) in high regard and believe that they are sinless.
Muhammed (Peace be upon him) is mentioned by us the most because he is our Prophet sent to us with the message of Islam and the Quraan was revealed to him.
We love and honour him. He is the most beloved to Allah and he is the reason for all creation.

no we are not making him stand out. u know who is doing that by calling muslims mohammedeans. people dont even know about the God we worship.
"LET ALL THOSE PEOPLE WHO WORSHIPPED MUHAMMED-PBUH KNOW THAT HE WAS A MESSENGER AND MESSENGERS HAVE DIED BEFORE HIM BUT ALL THOSE WHO WORSHIP ALLAH KNOW THAT ALLAH IS ALL-ETERNAL AND NEVER DIES.."
muhammed-pbuh was loved becoz he was the "last/seal of the prophets." the Quran what he brought from Allah and the Perfection he brought to Islam makes him perfect. he was the last of the prophets and thats it. Islam was totally perfected with him. no more messengers will come, except for jesus-pbuh return, Inshaallah (God willing).

Because Holy Prophet Muhammad(Peace Be Upon Him) is superior to all prophets.His superiority over other prophets is announced by Allah Himslf.
There is written in Holy Quran: "O people send Darood and Salam on Muhammad Peace be upon him like angels and Allah Himself sends upon him".
This verse depicts the importance of Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him). He is so superior that Allah himself sends Darood upon Him.Darood is some verse that is designed by Allah specifically for Muhammad (Peace be upon him).
