Abstract

Western accounts of Prophet Muhammad become more academic to understand his prophethood compared to Jesus the Christ. On a peacebuilding bridge, Craig Considine takes the step up in far-sighting the same divine words in Prophet Muhammad and Jesus Christ. He calls them brothers to other evangelic prophets. The common humanity traits of Muhammad & Jesus can be a constructive stand for better understanding. The non-violent phase of Western change amends some information about Islam and its Prophet that may help uproots unspeakable hatred against Muslims. Karen Armstrong’s writings dispose derogatory and hostile misrepresentation of Islam and its Prophet. The establishment of academic consciousness about the Prophethood of Muhammad contributes into peace and tolerance in the world.
