This paper sought to discuss the prophecy of Muhammad in the context of prophecy in the Ancient Near East (ANE). The research has used the descriptive and comparative methodologies; namely the phenomenological and anthropological approaches. As a phenomenon the nature of Muhammad‟s prophecy was not unique to Arabia. It was in fact closely connected with the general nature of prophecy across the region. Field research has dismissed any uniqueness of the Arabian prophecy. If anything it has close affinity with the Jewish and Christian prophecy for which it claims common Abrahamic origins. In that line of prophets Muslims emphasize that Muhammad becomes the final capping of God‟s revelations. The treatise has noted that it took centuries for the prophecy of Muhammad to win hearts among the Christian faithful and scholarship in the west. It was not until the Second Vatican Council that the polemics against Muhammad and Islam receded. The Vatican Synod removed the doctrinal basis for the polemics by recognizing that those outside the Church could earn salvation from without and that Islam was one of the religions ordered towards salvation. Having acknowledged Islam as ordered towards salvation it became logical that Muhammad‟s prophecy was also authentic.
