Mohammedan

''
Mohammedan'' (also spelled ''Muhammadan'', ''Mahommedan'', ''Mahomedan'' or ''Mahometan'') is a term for a follower of
Muhammad, the
Islamic prophet. It is used as both a
noun and an
adjective, meaning belonging or relating to, either Muhammad or the
religion, doctrines, institutions and practices that he established. The word was formerly common in usage, but the terms ''
Muslim'' and ''
Islamic'' are more common today. Though sometimes used stylistically by some Muslims, a vast majority consider the term archaic or a misnomer, as it suggests that Muslims worship Muhammad himself and not
God.
