Is Muhammad the most successful prophet?
Yes, he is. His followers established Muslim Empires in Baghdad and Spain. They ruled a large part of the world. Islam is the second largest religion in the world, Christianity being the first.
When and where did the religion Islam originate?
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is the central prophet of the Islamic faith. Born into a noble Quraish (Quraysh) clan, he was orphaned at an early age. He grew up to be a successful merchant, then turned contemplative. It is said that when he was 40, Muhammad was commanded by Allah (God) to recite the words that would later become Islam's holy book, the Qur'an (or Koran) in the year 610 AD. This was the begining of his prophethood.
As the revelations continued, Muhammad pbuh preached publicly of the duty to submit to the one true God, gaining followers whilst earning the enmity of the polytheistic authorities. To escape persecution, Muhammad was forced to flee in 622 AD to Yathrib (later called Medina). His poetic recitations and pleas for social justice continued to win converts, and Muhammad was repeatedly called into battle in his efforts to unite Arabia behind the faith known as Islam (meaning "submission"). After finally conquering Mecca in 630 AD, Muhammad returned to Medina, where he died in 633 AD.
So, as can be seen, Islam has been practiced as a religion (brought on by prophet Muhammad) for around 1,438 years until now after Prophet Muhammad pbuh was elevated by God as a prophet in the year 610 AD.

Do People or Muslims worship Muhammad?
As per Muslim ,Islam and Quran ... the Islam is absolute religion which exists from the day one of the mankind and Adam (peace be upon him) was the first prophet/messenger of Allah ....and the last being Muhammad (peace be upon him) ......
The following verses from Quran proves the point ....
And He(Allah) taught Adam the names of all things; then He placed them before the angels, and said: "Tell me the names of these if ye are right."
( Quran,Al-Baqara, Chapter #2, Verse #31)
Allah did choose Adam and Noah, the family of Abraham, and the family of 'Imran above all people,-
( Quran,Aal-e-Imran, Chapter #3, Verse #33)
We(Allah) have sent thee inspiration, as We sent it to Noah and the Messengers after him: we sent inspiration to Abraham, Isma'il, Isaac, Jacob and the Tribes, to Jesus, Job, Jonah, Aaron, and Solomon, and to David We gave the Psalms.
( Quran,An-Nisa, Chapter #4, Verse #163)
And remember We(Allah) took from the prophets their covenant: As (We did) from thee: from Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus the son of Mary: We took from them a solemn covenant:
( Quran,Al-Ahzab, Chapter #33, Verse #7)
We(Allah) gave Moses the Book and followed him up with a succession of apostles; We gave Jesus the son of Mary Clear (Signs) and strengthened him with the holy spirit. Is it that whenever there comes to you an apostle with what ye yourselves desire not, ye are puffed up with pride?- Some ye called impostors, and others ye slay!
( Quran , Al-Baqara, Chapter #2, Verse #87)
So as per Muslim ,Islam and Quran ... the Islam is absolute religion which exists from the day one of the mankind and Adam (peace be upon him) was the first prophet/messenger of Allah ..and the last being Muhammad (peace be upon him).
Muhammad(pbuh) was born in Mecca in the year 570. Since his father died before his birth, and his mother shortly afterwards, he was raised by his uncle from the respected tribe of Quraysh. As he grew up, he became known for his truthfulness, generosity and sincerity, so that he was sought after for his ability to arbitrate in disputes. The historians describe him as calm and meditative. Muhammad (pbuh) was of a deeply religious nature, and had long detested the decadence of his society.
It became his habit to meditate from time to time in the Cave of Hira near Mecca. At the age of 40, while engaged in a meditative retreat, Muhammad(pbuh) received his first revelation from God through the Angel Gabriel. This revelation, which continued for 23 years is known as the Quran. As soon as he began to recite the words he heard from Gabriel, and to preach the truth which God had revealed to him, he and his small group of followers suffered bitter persecution, which grew so fierce that in the year 622 God gave them the command to emigrate.
This event, the Hijra 'migration', in which they left Mecca for the city of Medina, marks the beginning of the Muslim calendar. After several years, the Prophet and his followers were able to return to Mecca, where they forgave their enemies and established Islam definitively. Before the Prophet saw dies at the age of 63, the greater part of Arabia was Muslim, and within a century of his death Islam had spread to Spain in the West and as far East as China. He died with less than 5 possessions to his name.
While Muhammad (pbuh) was chosen to deliver the message, he is not considered the "founder" of Islam, since Muslims consider Islam to be the same divine guidance sent to all peoples before. Muslims believe all the prophets from Adam, Noah, Moses, Jesus etc. were all sent with divine guidance for their peoples. Every prophet was sent to his own people, but Muhammad(pbuh) was sent to all of mankind. Muhammad is the last and final messenger sent to deliver the message of Islam. Muslims revere and honor him (pbuh) for all he went through and his dedication, but they do not worship him. "O Prophet, verily We have sent you as a witness and a bearer of glad tidings and a warner and as one who invites unto God by His leave and as an illuminating lamp."(33:45-6)
A quick ADDITION
"Muslim" means the one who submits to God's will through monotheism (belief) and actions. There were Muslims since humans were created. Of all people there were those who followed the teachings of God and those who didn't.
Answer 2
God "Allah" is the inspirer of Islam upon Mohammad , and Mohammad was His last prophet . No Muslim can worship anyone else than GoD. Anyone to worship anyone or anything except GOD is not a Muslim.
Answer 3Yes, Muhammad is the possible founder of Islam. There is no historical or religious data for the existance of Islam before 600 AD. Mohammad introduced many teachings and rituals from Jewish, Christian and pagan religions of his time. From the very early times of his life he was interested in religion and used to consult with Christian monks who dedicated themselves for meditation and re-telling the accounts in the Jewish and Christian Scripture. He also spend many times in meditaion and at the age of 40, during one of these mediations at the Cave of Hira, he claimed to be visited by an angel who forced him to read. His wife Kadijah and the Christian uncle Waraqa assured him that the spirit visited him was Jibriel from Allah (Al-LAH, the god) and he supposed to be a prophet of Allah. This is the start of Islam as a new religion because it differed greatly from the Jewish and Christian Scripture in the basic teachings EXCEPT in the teaching of ONE God. Mohammad changed the worship from Jerusalem to Mecca for Islam where pagans used to worship at the Kaaba with 360 idols including Al-LAH as the main idol (moon god- Cresent sign).Answer 4
Muslims do not worship Mohammad as he was just a human and died like anyone else. Islam, Christianity and Judaism does not allow human worship.
How was Muhammad as a teacher?
Muhammad (SAW) was the most kind and affectionate person as a teacher, he never refused to answer anyone's question and he taught his teachings by himself being as an example first. He never scolded any one or refused to teach any thing to anyone who asked. He was always there to help every one. He never made up any of his teachings himself, but taught only what Allah said to him, which the Quran states itself.He was the most perfect character any one could ever have , with the purest of all souls, and not a sign of mistake or even sin.
How many grandsons did Prophet Muhammad have and what are their names?
Although this is disputed, the most likely answer is three.
1. Qasim, son of Khadija.
2. Abdullah, who is also known as Tahir ("pure") and Tayyib ("good"), son of Khadija.
3. Ibrahim, son of Mariya.
All three of these sons died in infancy.
How did Muhammad's teachings affect early Arabian society?
It's hard to say, for these two reasons.
(1) We don't know much about pre-Islamic society. Most of the surviving records are by Muslims.
(2) It is difficult to distinguish Muhammad's teachings from the fact that Muhammad conquered Arabia and ruled the society by force. The reality of military rule, rather than any teachings about theology or morality, was probably the biggest change to Arabian society.
Did Mohammed practice homosexuality?
No he did not..becuz it is against the teachings of Islam, the religion the Mohammad was preaching and calling people to it, to practice acts of homosexualtiy. And the Quran, the holy book of Muslims, has verses against this kind of action.
What does Islam teach us about Allah's relationship with man?
The quran teaches that there is only one god. This god (Allah swt) is to be worshiped alone, to associate partners with Allah (swt) is shirk (meaning blasphemy) it is a grave sin. The quran teaches that god will judge you in the end to see whether you have passed the tests of the earth or failed. Allah (swt) has sent messengers (prophets) to warn and guide the believers, you must obey the commandments of Allah and achieve the most rewards you can. The quran teaches how Allah (swt) is compassionate and merciful and loves to forgive those who seek forgiveness. Hope that answers your question! :)

What do Islam followers believe about God?
Yes just not the same God that Christians believe in.
His name is Allah.
MMMMMMMMMM...
I believe that Muslim's believe in the same God but Jesus was a prophet
And not the Son of God and that the prophet Muhammud received the Book of the Qur'an by taking information from the ArchAngel Gabriel
Islam means "To enter into Peace"
Muslims believe in the same real God Almighty which Jesus and other prophets before him believed.
a. Elohim El, Elah, Alah
In the Bible, God is very often referred to as 'Elohim' in the Hebrew language. The 'im' in the ending is a plural of honour and God is referred to as 'El' or 'Elah' in the English Bible with commentary, edited by reverend C. I. Scofield. 'Elah' is alternatively spelled as 'Alah'. The difference in spelling is only of a single 'L'. Muslims spell Allah as 'Allah' while the Reverend has spelled it as Alah and they pronounce it as 'Elah'. Muslims pronounce it as Allah. Hebrew and Arabic are sister languages therefore we say it should be pronounced as 'Allah' and not as 'Elah'.
When I was in school, I was taught 'D, O' is do, 'T, O' is to. What is 'G, O' It is 'go' and not 'gu'. 'N, U, T' is nut, 'C, U, T' cut; 'B, U, T' is but, what is 'P, U, T'? Not 'pat' but it is 'put'. If you ask "Why?" The answer is "It is their language". If I have to pass I have to say 'P, U, T' is 'put' and not 'pat'. Similarly the right pronunciation for A, L, L, A, H, is Allah.
b. Jesus (pbuh) cried out Allah Allah when he was put on the cross
It is mentioned in the New Testament in the Gospel of Mathew, chapter 27 verse 46 as well as Gospel of Mark, chapter 15 verse 34 when Jesus (pbuh) was put on the cross.
Jesus cried with a loud voice saying "E'-Li, E'-Li la'-ma sa-bach'-tha-ni?" that is to say, 'My God, My God why hast Thou Forsaken Me?' Does this sound like Jehovah! Jehovah! why has thou forsaken me? Does it sound like Abba Abba? The answer is 'No'. Hebrew and Arabic are sister languages and if you translate "E'-Li, E'-Li la'-ma sa-bach'-tha-ni" into Arabic it is 'Allah Allah lama tarak tani' does it sound similar?
This statement of Jesus (pbuh), "E'-Li, E'-Li la'-ma sa-bach'-tha-ni" is preserved in its original Hebrew in each and every of its translation which is available in more than 2000 different languages of the world and in each and every of them, "Allah" is present.
2. "Allah" in Sikhism
One of the names by which Gurunanak Sahib referred to God is "Allah".
3a. "Allah" in Rigveda Book 2 Hymn I verse II
Even in the Rigveda which is the most sacred scripture of the Hindus, one of the attributes given to God Almighty in Book no 2 Hymn no I verse II, is 'Ila' which if pronounced properly is the same as Allah.
3b. Allo Upanishad:
Amongst the various Upanishads one of the Upanishad is named as 'Allo' Upanishad in which God is referred to as "Allah" several times.

How did Prophet Muhammad celebrate Eid?
1268. Ibn `Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) used to observe I`tikaf in the last ten days of Ramadan.
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]. 1269. `Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) used to engage himself in I`tikaf (seclusion for prayers) in the mosque during the last ten nights of Ramadan till he passed away; thereafter, his wives followed this practice after him.
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]. 1270. Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) used to observe I`tikaf every year (during Ramadan) for ten days; in the year in which he passed away, he observed I`tikaf for twenty days.
[Al-Bukhari]. Commentary: We learn from these Ahadith that the observance of I`tikaf in the last ten days of Ramadan is Sunnah of the Prophet (PBUH). But it can be done only in mosque not at home. I`tikaf helps to enhance one's spiritual growth and to strive hard to worship Allah better as there is nothing to distract one's attention from this noble pursuit. http://www.soundvision.com/info/ramadan/
