Muslims claim that Muhammad is a prophet of Allah – and the last for that matter. Unfortunately, they may not have any proof that he is such.
The revelation of the Qur’an to him came from an angel called Jibreel and not directly from Allah Himself. Why? If Muslims accept Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses as prophets and God directly talked to these prophets, why did He not talk directly to Muhammad?
The revelation was given to him over a 23-year period and not a single time did Allah talk to him directly.
What Muhammad did was recite what Jibreel dictated to him so that his followers may write them down (please correct me if I am wrong). In the Bible, on the other hand, God inspired the writers of the gospel (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John). Who could have written down what Jesus prayed in John 17? Or other chapters in the Bible where Jesus spoke almost entirely.
If we consider that the God of Abraham is the true God, then, He would have given His messenger some prophecies to Muhammad to show that this messenger is from the true God. Just like what the angel Gabriel did to Mary and Zechariah. Gabriel announced to Mary that she would give birth to a son even though she was a virgin. Gabriel also announced to Zechariah that his wife will give birth to a son to be named John even though they are already old and she was barren. That’s the power of God – He can make a virgin or an old barren woman to conceive and give birth. Allah did not give any sign that the angel Jibreel is really from the true God.
This is what Deuteronomy 18:22 says: “When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.”

Just as for Christianity, there is no scientific proof of divinity or even of existence of the central figure. The life of Christ except for a few years of it is even sketchier than that of Muhammad, for which there is some tradition in the Hadith, though much of it was added long after Muhammad's time. The lives of both central figures are only contained in materials recorded by the followers-believers and not corroborated by outside sources. Your snide comments are like the pot calling the kettle black. A little humility is in order.

Can I ask what you mean when you say Muhammad led a life of another kind? In islam we refer to them differently but they both came with the same message; Jesus was the purest prophet and Muhammad was the best of creation. Also, no one is perfect, Jesus was a man, as was Muhammad. The life of Jesus is yet to be continued when he comes to our aid, destroys the cross, destroys the anti-christ, marries, has children and dies, like any other man/prophet.
What do you mean what proof? Muhammad was a direct decendant of Abraham, in the Qur'an that God gave to him there is mentioning of the struggles of Abraham, Jesus, Moses, Noah and all the other prophets (peace be with them all). Muhammad concluded the message that all these prphets brought revelations for. He established the perfect way of life in every single aspect and it is still practised today.

Well, Miss Bella, Muhammad meditated in a cave and claimed to have been touched by God. there were no witnesses.
In a contract, (in this case, God and Man) there must be at least three witnesses. In Christianity, the story predicts not only
THREE wise men, but Sheperds and whatnot to have seen the North Star and angels from the heavens.
In conclusion, neither had taken a picture.

A man that cant read or write one day comes out of a cave reciting teachings in a poetic way, how is this possible?(If islam just a bunch of twisted bible stories how did an illiterate man get the verses to rhyme)
Again this illiterate and undeduacated man converts people to Islam in a time when there are idolitors who hate the idea of one single god? Why would any reasonable man risk his life like this?
He was an honest person with an honest living before this, did he all the sudden become crazy and decided to risk his life becoming a false prophet? What drove him to do these things? Insanity or angels?

Wow! an prolonged rant cleverly disguised as a question. The Quran has not extra information than you will possibly anticipate from somebody of the time. It states that the sunlight contraptions in a muddy spring, and ants can communicate. case in point, the "information" of embryology displayed reflects what replaced into concept on the time, and replaced into normally repeating what the Greek/Roman well being care provider Galen taught. in case you throw sufficient nonsense at a wall, a number of it is going to stick. The "holy" Quran additionally instructs Muslims to forcefully convert non-Muslims to Islam and kill and oppress people who face as much as conversion. Islamist terrorists can say that they are basically following the Quran, and for this reason they're the actual Muslims. "The unfold of Islam replaced into protection tension. there's a tendency to ask for forgiveness for this and we could desire to continually no longer. this is between the injunctions of the Qur'an this is truly helpful to combat to unfold Islam." - Dr. Ali Issa Othman, Islamic student Quran 18:86 "till, while he reached the putting-place of the sunlight, he discovered it putting in a muddy spring, and found a human beings thereabout. We pronounced: O Dhu'l-Qarneyn! the two punish or practice them kindness." Quran 27:18 "till, while they reached the Valley of the Ants, an ant exclaimed: O ants! enter your dwellings lest Solomon and his armies crush you, unperceiving." Quran 2:191-193 – “And slay them anyplace ye discover them, and force them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution [of Muslims] is worse than slaughter [of non-believers]…and combat them till persecution is not extra, and faith is for Allah.” Quran 2:216 – “combating is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. whether this is achievable that ye dislike a element that's solid for you, and that ye love a element that's undesirable for you. yet Allah knoweth, and ye understand no longer.” Quran 2:244 – “Then combat interior the reason for Allah, and understand that Allah Heareth and knoweth all issues.” Quran 9:5 - “combat and slay the pagans (or infidels or unbelievers) anyplace you come across them” Quran 9:29 – “combat people who have self belief no longer in Allah nor the final Day, nor carry that forbidden which hath been forbidden with the aid of Allah and His Messenger, nor renowned the religion of fact, (whether they're) of the persons of the e book, till they pay the Jizya with prepared submission, and sense themselves subdued.”

Same proof the Christians have to claim that Jesus was the son of god. It says so in their book.

The same could be asked of Jesus. It's called faith, not unlike every other religion. The only proof they have is the Quran, just like the only proof Chistians have is the Bible.
No offence.

Before I have faith to Muhammad, first my faith is there is only one God,
then the second is my faith to Quran, I believe that Quran contains original messages from Allah that never been changed since it was revealed. Al Quran genuine is not deniable
My faith to Quran lead me to have faith to Muhammad, people who bring it to the people in his era.
so the proof that Muhammad was the prophet is the Holy Quran.
