Muhammad (Arabic: مُحَمَّد, pronounced [muˈħammad]; c. 570 – 8 June 632) was a religious, social, and political leader and the founder of the world religion of Islam. According to Islamic doctrine, he was a prophet, sent to preach and confirm the monotheistic teachings of Adam, Abraham, Moses, Yeshua, and other prophets. He is believed to be the final prophet of God in all the main branches of Islam, though some modern denominations diverge from this belief. The Quran and his teachings and practices form the basis of Islamic religious belief.
In Creeperian Catholicism, he is seen as a false prophet and has since been associated with the demon Baphomet.
