Why doesnt islam have a picture of their founder?
Because Allah (or God in English) is the Islam founder. Refer to question below.
How was the Caliphate of Hazrat Abu Bakr?
Abu Bakr's caliphate is regarded by historians as a successful one. During his time as Caliph, he put down all the false prophets by waging wars against them. He also forced all those who refused to pay Zakat to pay and crushed the hypocrites who abandoned Islam, upon the demise of Muhammad.
What controversy occurred after the death of the Prophet Muhammad?
After Muhammad's death, the question of succession led to disagreements and eventual factions in Islam. Following his death in 632AD, Muhammad's close companion, Abu Bakr, was named first calif. However, many disagreed with this appoinment, and believed that Ali, a relative of Muhammad, was his true successor. This controvery of succession is what eventually led to the division of Muslims into Sunni and Shia.
What was Muhammad's main belief?
The main and only belief of prophet Muhammad is Islam that is God religion since start of universe creation and even before. Islam is the call of all God prophets; including Adam, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, David, Solomon, ..., Jesus, and Muhammad (peace be upon them all) to their people as Islam word means full submission to God as the one and only one God.

Do Christians believe that Mohamed is a prophet?
No, the Quran says about him that he is an ordinary human being and a prophet ,but not a God, yet he had many miracles to support his message for the oneness of God. e.g. feeding many people by food and water multiplication. In addition the miracle of the Quran and it's Arabic language which astonishes Arabs.
What happened after Muhammad wrote the quran?
Rather pensive I would say considering!
I have conducted some study in this area and the evidence shows that Muhhammad may have been duped, if the following is true:
The Qur'an is actually documented as a Papal Conspiracy to control the Barbarian masses, hence it's resemblance to The Holy Bible.
According to sources, the Qur'an was introduced to 'Muhammad' by the parental cousin( 'Waraka ibn Nawfal' ), of his first wife 'Kadijah'.
'Waraka' was a Catholic priest living in Mecca, and one who had made detailed studies of the Gospels and the Old Testament scriptures.
He was the first to recognized Muhammad's call to prophecy as authentic and islamic tradition recounts Waraka saying: "There has come to him the greatest Law that came to Moses; surely he is the prophet of this people".
What the people didn't know, was that Waraka had been covertly recruited by Jesuit Monks to present the Barbarians with their own religion through Muhammad, with a proviso that the Papacy remain Sovereign.
However, after the death of Muhammad the Barbarians refused to recognise this agreement, and the Papacy reacted with swift vengeance through the Crusade Wars, which claimed the lives of millions.
History supports this record of genocide by these so-called Christians, who committed these attrocities against an innocent race.
"Christians" they may have called themselves, but whether they were followers of CHRIST or not may be up to history to decide!

Who convinced Muhammad that he should be a prophet?
The angel Gabriel (Jibril) came to him, while Muhammad was meditating in a mountain cave called Hiraa in Mecca; and told him to recite recite in the name of the lord (Allah in Arabic). Then he went back home amazed and trembling and feeling cold. His wife Khadija talked to her Cousin (Waraka Ibn Nofal) who was acquainted with the Bible and Torah and was knowledgeable religious leader and told him what happened. He told her that these are the prophet signs and that Muhammad will be the prophet of this nation and if he is still alive he will believe him and support him.
What was Muhammad message and why was it appealing?
Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is the best role model for all humankind. Among his outstanding virtues and characteristics, he was an extraordinary husband, a perfect father, and a unique grandfather. He was also a great statesman, judge, and spiritual leader. His most distinctive quality, however, was the fact that he was a blessing to all in both word and deed.
There are no wordings which can describe his message better than what he said,"I have been sent only for the purpose of perfecting good morals."
or what was mentioned in the Holy Quran about him (Meaning translation),
4. And verily, you (O Muhammad) are on an exalted standard of character.
107. We sent thee not save as a mercy for the peoples.
28. And We have not sent thee (O Muhammad) save as a bringer of good tidings and a warner unto all mankind; but most of mankind know not.
Why was it appealing? because his message was spreading the religion of nature (Deen ul Fitrah).

Was Prophet Muhammad's wife a Christian?

Who lead the prayer of Janazah Salah of Hazrat Muhammad SAW?
These were the following people who washed and buried the Prophet.
Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (He was the first to offer the prayer).
Abbas ibn Abdul Muttalib
Fadhl ibn Abbas
Qathm ibn Abbas
Usama bin Zayd bin Haritha
Aus bin Khuli Ansari
Nama-e-janaza was offered by many people, who ever was comming was offering prayers
Hazrat Ali a.s offered janaza prayer of Prophet Muhammad(PBUH) and Hazrat Abubakar,Hazrat Umar n Hazrat Usman escaped from Muhammad's Janaza(Funeral) just to occupy the Khilafa(Calipate)That's the reason Shia Muslims don't give any respect to Abu Bakar,Umar n Usman n they give the best place to Hazrat Ali cause he remain loyal n faithfull to Rasool Ullah even after his Death(Vasal). Sunnis lie about Janaza of Prophet cause they know very well that their beloved sahabah Abubakar,Umar n Usman escaped from janazah of Muhammad(PBUH) just to get khilafah of Muslims.
Why Muslims claim Muhammad as a prophet even though he never prophesied anything?
Quran says (meaning English translation):
{The Messenger (Muhammad) has believed in what was revealed to him from his Lord, and [so have] the believers. All of them have believed in Allah and His angels and His books and His messengers, [saying], "We make no distinction between any of His messengers." And they say, "We hear and we obey. [We seek] Your forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the [final] destination." (285)}
[Quran, chapter 2, verse 285]
That he would have the highest position of the Prophets. That he would be given a great river for he and his followers to drink from in Paradise. That his nation would out-number all others and number one half of the people in Paradise. That his nation would be the first to enter Paradise. That the book he was given - the Qur'an - would be protected from error. And he was promised other things, as well. Peace be upon him and upon all the Prophets and Messengers of God.
Are there more than 25 prophets in Islam?
Islam has 124000 prophets. The Prophet Muhammad was the final and greatest of them. Though mostly it's the Semitic prophets of the Middle East that are mentioned in the Islamic faith. This isn't to say the Europeans, Native Americans, Africans, central Asians, Aborigines, South Pacificers, Indians, Far easterners etc weren't sent prophets as Muslims believe that Allah sent prophets to every people.
As well as the Prophet Muhammad - Other renowned prophets of Islam include Adam, Nuh (Noah), Musa (Moses), Harun (Aaron), Ibrahim (Abraham), Lut (Lot), Ismail (Ishmael), Is'haq (Isaac), Yacoob (Jacob), Yousef (Joseph), Daud (David), Sulaiman (Soloman), Yahya (John the baptist - though this isn't his role in Islam) & Isa (Jesus).

The following are mentioned in hadith or known from Oral tradition; Ishaia (Isaiah), Sheeth (Seth), Uzair (Ezra), Danyal (Daniel), Armya (Jeremiah) & Samuel.
Dhul-Karnain, Joshua (Assistant to Moses), Imran (Father of Mary), Khidr & Luqman are all mentioned as great men but their prophethood hasn't been specified, so they may have just been great pious individuals favoured by Allah.

Another Answer
Quran has mentioned that there were many Prophets sent down to earth... for every people and every nation...
Out of them, only 25 are named in Quran..
Whereas, Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) said that there were about 124000 prophets sent down to earth...
The first of them is Prophet Adam and the last is Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him)
Muhammad did not go to school at all. Because it was not invented yet.
Mohammed went to many places since he was merchant and a Prophet. The most important places that he went to were the Ka'aba in Mecca and the Prophet's Mosque in Medina.
______________________________________________________
He went after death to the Heavens.
His stepson Hind said he had dark, nearly black eyes.
The five greatest prophets are: Noah (Nuh), Abraham (Ibrahim), Moses (Musa), Jesus (Isa), and Muhammad (peace be upon them).
