Did Muhammad really exist?

[JoelT1]

Arabs, Muslims claim that the so-called “prophet” Muhammad was the last and greatest of prophets. Never mind the unlikelihood of an Arab prophet following a long line of Jewish prophets, the uncomfortable fact is the evidence for the alleged prophet of Islam is scant indeed.

In fact, outside the Koran, which mentions Muhammad by name just 4 times, there is absolutely no contemporaneous record of Muhammad’s existence and life in Arab documents. Odd, considering the purported last, greatest prophet and first King of Arabia was Arab.

Furthermore, there is no record of Muhammad’s life in documents outside Arabia, where Muhammad allegedly lived. Again, the greatest prophet and alleged first King of Arabia unknown elsewhere in the world?

Which raises the question: Did Muhammad even exist?

Alleged last and greatest prophet was an Arab BUT no documentation of Muhammad during his lifetime in Arab records

Sounds dodgy

Are there any images ( paintings or drawings) of him?

So, very similar to Jesus, in the lack of evidence for actually existing.

Earliest bios of Muhammad were written 200-300 years after alleged Muhammad

Greatest prophet? Very fishy!

It is impossible for an entire religion to start without a founder, just like it is impossible for an entire universe to create itself.

Yes, Mohammed existed, and so did Jesus, and so does God.

If Muhammad existed as the last prophet and founder of Islam, why were his earliest bios written 200-300 years later?
