A Brief Description of the Question:
How was our Prophets (pbuh) funeral prayer performed?
The Answer:
Our Prophet's funeral prayer was performed. However, since there was not a caliph of Muslims, it was performed not in congregation but individually. Moreover, it was performed individually because the Prophet was in the room from whence he passed away to the Hereafter and the room was not large enough for all Muslims to fit in together. Firstly, Hazrat Abu Bakr came to the presence of the Prophet and performed the funeral prayer. Then, Hazrat Umar, Hazrat Uthman, Hazrat Talha, Hazrat Zubair and then other Muslims performed the funeral prayer, all one after another.
Abdullah b. Mas'ud narrates:
"Our Prophet, our beloved one, informed us about his death one month before he died. (1)
'O Messenger of Allah! When is your time of death?' we asked.
'The time of death has drawn near. Time of returning to Allah, to Heaven, to Sidratu'l-Muntaha, to Rafiqu'l-Ala, to Destiny and to blissful and blessed life has drawn near' said he. (2).
'O Messenger of Allah! Who should wash you?' we asked.
'Whoever closest to me from my household' he said.
'O Messenger of Allah! With what shall we cover you and enshroud?' we asked.
'Enshroud with this clothing of mine if you wish, or Egyptian fabric or cloth!' he said.
'O Messenger of Allah! Who shall perform your funeral prayer?' we asked.
'May Allah have mercy on you! May He reward you with blessings because of your prophet! (3) When you wash and enshroud me, put me on that wooden bed of mine and place next to my grave in my house! Then, leave me alone for a while! Because, firstly my two friends, Gabriel and Michael, and then Israfel, and later Angel of Death, Azrael, together with his army of angels will perform my funeral prayer! (4) After that, enter in groups and perform my funeral prayer and send me your revering and compliments! However, do not disturb me by praising and crying out! (5) Let the men from my household begin performing my funeral prayer first! Then, let their women perform! Then you perform! Send my compliments to those from my Companions, who are not present here! And send my compliments also to those to come from my tribe and those to follow my religion and me until the Day of Resurrection!'
'O Messenger of Allah! Who shall place you into your grave?' we asked.
'My household and lots of angels, whom you do not see but who see you' he said." (6)
In accordance with that explanation, firstly four archangels performed the Prophet's funeral prayer and then the other angels did.
After that, firstly, Hazrat Abu Bakr came to the presence of the Prophet and performed the funeral prayer. Then, Hazrat Umar, Hazrat Uthman, Hazrat Talha, Hazrat Zubair and then other Muslims performed the funeral prayer, all one after another.

Answer-2
Hazrat Muhammad's (SAW) funeral was not offered in an open placed. He breathed his last in the small hut of his most beloved wife Hazrat Ayesha RAU. His holy body lay there. The Companions, only a few at a time, entered the room and offered funeral prayer.
only hazrat ALI a.s nd his true frndz were there....other ex KUFAR E MAKKAH were buzi in other things..for example GOVERNMENT
100
My guess is learn about his social life and to show how much we care about mohammad.
It was name given to him due to honesty by people of Makkah .
From india 10,05,120 indians are travelled with prophet muhammed to madeena and from world 45,19,21,677
Islam is not focused on any religion. The Holy Qoran was revealed to Prophet Mohammad as a Scripture from Allah (God) for the people of this world. The followers of this Book and the teachings of the Prophet Mohammad are called Muslims, and the religion is known as Islam.
Prophet Mohammad Prayed, fasted did many miracles such as write the book of Allah and he stopped most people do many bad harm things.
No Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is no God of Islam or anything else. Prophet Muhammad is God messenger who conveyed to mankind Quran per God revelation to him through the angel Gabriel (Jibril) and called people to Islam.
The 5 prayers were ordained in the Night journey to Heaven in 621 AD when Prophet Mohammad (SAW) was taken to Heaven to see The Almighty God, and on his return he was given 50 daily prayers for the people. On the way back the Prophet met Prophet Moses (PUH) who said that it will be too much for the people and requested Prophet Mohammad to go back and ask for reduction in the number of prayers. After a few repeated visits it was reduced to 5 prayers per day
Mohammad did not head to Makkah, instead he went to Medina from Makkah, because the people in Makkah had made his living there ( in Makkah) very difficult
Because Prophet Moses said that 50 prayers a day will not be possible for the Muslim people to comply with so Prophet Mohammad had to renegotiate with the Almighty God and it was reduced to 5 prayers a day
Islam is the name of the religion and Prophet Mohammad is the last Prophet, and the people who follow this religion are called Muslims. The Baha'i Faith also recognizes Muhammad as a Prophet/Manifestation/Messenger of God and the "Seal of the Prophets," as one who verified the Prophets before Him. Baha'is believe that his mission was fulfilled in Baha'u'llah.
Mohammad S.A.W taught what really happened to Jesus S.A.W (he is a prophet to the nation of Islam). he cleared any mi conceptions. research but make sure you don't go on biased sites there are many Islamophobic foolish people on this site and on other sites.
Yes it is one of the major sins in the sight of Allah. Prophet Mohammad (S.A.W) said that people who adopt the customs of other relegions will be raised with then on the day of Qiyaamah.
