I will answer your first question but I will not bother with the rest. I have a good reason for that. We are here to discuss the supposed prophethood of Muhammad , his life, his behavior and conclude whether he was God prophet or not. As for me I have already concluded that his not because he fails the test of prophethood by Biblical standards. You see, the Bible is what I use to measure Muhammad, his claims to prophethood and his actions. By Biblical standards he has failed miserably.

I have never been to some madrassa school (thank God) so I'm not concerned about memorizing the Koran or Hadith. As long as I have them to refer to and to compare to the Bible.

so although I will answer one question I deem the whole exercise unnecessary to our discussion. One thing I'm sure of you can't prove that Muhammad received any message from God.
