Best Answer

All religions are based on some connection to the spiritual. However, the idea of prophecy, where a person speaks to a god/God and relays the words of that Divinity to the people is much more common in Abrahamic Faiths like Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and Baha'i. It was also extant in other religious traditions like Zoroastrianism, Arabian Henotheisms, Egyptian Polytheism, Greco-Roman Polytheism (although their prophets were called oracles), and some Native American traditions.

In the Dharmic Tradition (Hinduism, Buddhism, etc.), the faith is usually relayed by a person who experiences something Divine, such as an incarnation of a Divinity or a sense of tranquility, but these persons are usually not seen as prophets.

Is there any prophet among Prophet Muhammad?

If you are asking whether there were other prophets who were equal to the Prophet Muhammad, Muslims would say no. They would say he was the final and most important prophet. Also, according to Islam, there were no other prophets or religious teachers of his time who were superior to him. But it should be noted that other religions (Judaism, Christianity, Buddhism, etc.) have prophets of their own, and followers of these faiths believe their prophets were as important as the Prophet Muhammad. However, since none of these prophets lived at the same time he did, he was not challenged or confronted by any of the prophets from these other religions.
