Default Muhamed who was he?

Sorry if i got the spelling wrong.. i was just wondering who he was seen as from a historical perspective.. i know some people seem to say some nasty things about him as to discredit the religion he was a prophet of.

I am not asking for proof, denial or aknoledgement that he was or was not a prophet.. just historically what was he known as?

The historical Muhamed, does anyone here have any ideas?

Thank you

Someone like to prove he existed? (Or alternatively, doubt that he did if that is more agreeable)

All the best,

Not to prove, (As i was never aware the existance of the particular man was in doubt..)

but rather to tell me what he was like from a historical perspective.

Thank you

Here is some rather serious skepticism on whether there was a historical Mohammed and what he was like.

Default why should

The religious and secular notions of Muhammad be particularly different? He was just a prophet and he forged the Arabs into a single nation under Allah. Like so many other prophets have done, he did it for the Arabs.
