Did Muhammad exist?

Similarly I have seen many people questioning the existence of Jesus, if he ever existed. And of course existence of The God.

the simple evidence is the faith.. Islam is the second religion which have many followers after cristian.. is it not enough for the evidence?? what about the Holy Al Quran?? is it not enough too?? what about the story of crusade war?? is it not enough too??

There seems to be a great deal of difficulty here separating myth from history. With the exceptions of some recent aberrations all of the large religions stem from oral traditions and as a result myth has become a part of them. The historical evidence comes only later and after the fact. That said it is a bit shabby to accept Greek and Hebrew writings as historical evidence while discarding other documents because they are written in Arabic. The answer to your questions is no and no.

He's a prophet and was chosen by Allah to bring the messengers messages and writings to people. He's the last and final prophet. He existed according to Qur'an. How sure, you have to read and understand Qur'an (Arabic language) first.

1- If you want historical evidence you can found it in the Turkish Museum( like the message which Muhammad sent to Hercules The king of Roman , some of Muhammad clothing 2- Muhammad not the first faith in Islam , but Abraham peace be upon them both .

I guess the question is very simple. If Muhammad existed what are the historical evidence that he did exist? For example Jesus, there are studies show that he did exist, the place he was born, grew up and places that he went. There are "facts" to support what's written in the Bible about Jesus. So if Muhammad existed what are those "facts" written in History to support that he did exist? I don't think that the question is intended to make any confusion about Islam. For me as I understand it, it's just a simple question of someone that would like to know more about Islam.

The most reliable answer to both of these questions is 'No'. http://search.mylot.com/search.aspx?t=web&k=historical+evidence+that+Muhammad+existed for many links to relevant sites.

Hi, Prophet Mohammed existed, there are lot of historical proofs. He lived in a period where history was somewhat properly recorded. For the evidences sources in historical books I have to refer. Europe and Americas historians record those ages as Dark ages as it was dark there :p Islam is the way of life as per the creator of mankind, peace in willfully accepting the instructions and guidelines of Almighty God, which existed in the beginning of mankind itself, The word Islam is Arabic, other similar words might have used in the past. Prophet Mohammed was the final prophet assigned by Almighty God, and the completion of Message of Islam, Almighty God revealed the final edition of Instruction manual to the mankind through the final Prophet, and that Instruction manual is 'Quran'. Prophet Mohammad was not the founder literally, but he was the prophet of Almighty God.

Hi urban, It appears that as with Jesus, there is little evidence for a historical Muhammad.The only positive conclusion which we can be at all sure of is that a Muhammad did live in the 620s and 630s, that he was a warrior who led followers to many victories, and that the names of some people and battles have been preserved. Blessings.

Hmmmm...I really don't know Urban if he did really exist. I haven't have much time to read anything about him and even about his religion. But as far as I have heard about he is famous among the muslims and they considered him as a prophet.

I think historical evidence is closely related to faith. For example, some people believe that alien exist and had visited our planet, then they show you some artifacts/historical evidence that support their theory, but some people who don't believe in alien said that it wasn't a historical evidence.... so in my opinion, it doesn't matter how much discussion like this appears, some will believe and some will not.

I really don't know if there is an evidence of Muhammad existence. I neither can tell if he was a real man or just a creation of imagination. But I think same for the existence of every god that made a religion on earth. I do not prefer reading any religious book with cooked up stories that actually never happened (most of the ancient non philosophical and just religious books are full of cooked up stories). If somebody tells me that he has enough evidence about their god's existence I show them my birth certificate and tell them that I am the god as I can better prove myself to exist better than any god that existed (just in thoughts or in fantasies) on earth and no one can disapprove my existence until unless the government does not make me invisible. So I think in that case (with government making me invisible) I will be a prophet or messenger or Bhagwan and the government will be the almighty.
