Muhammad is not recognized as a prophet. Judaism considers the era of prophecy to have ended hundreds of years before his birth, and thus does not accept his religious claims or the Quran.
Muhammad in Christianity

Muhammad in Islam
Muhammad is revered as the final messenger and prophet in a long line that includes Adam, Moses, and Jesus. He is known as the "Seal of the Prophets," through whom the final and complete revelation of God, the Quran, was delivered.
