Was Muhammad a Prophet of God?

Was Muhammad (pbuh) a true prophet of God? Was he a mercy for humanity? Did Muhammad (pbuh) author the Qur'an? A truly remarkable series of five debates held at Old Dominion University and the Central Baptist Church in Ghent, Norfolk, Virginia, USA For Muslims, the question of Muhammad's true prophethood is indisputable. They firmly believe that he is a true prophet and Messenger of God, through whom God's divine revelations throughout history were culminated and perfected, thus forming the universal divine message to mankind. For critics of Islam, generally, it is Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), rather than God, who is the founder of Islam, the author of its teachings, and the composer of its holy book, the Qur'an. A sincere and "neutral" researcher examine both claims and arrive at his own conclusions. Representing the Muslim perspective was Sami Zaatari: Sami has written hundreds of articles defending Islam , He is currently studying literature in London and is working on a book on Jesus' crucifixion. Representing the Christian side was Mr. David Wood: David is a Teaching Fellow at Fordham University, where he teaches Philosophical Ethics. He holds degrees in Biology and Philosophy and is coauthor of the book Who Was Jesus? Who Was Muhammad?
