Then the final test: did Muhammad return mankind to the faith of Abraham?
Judaism teaches that before Moses gave bnai Israel the Torah, there were seven laws given to mankind. A non-Jewish prophet's role would be to return mankind to these laws.
They are:
1. Prohibition on Idolatry.
Islam teaches that there is only One God
2. Prohibition on Blasphemy
The Qur'an forbids blasphemy: 4:140, 9:47, 5:33
3. Prohibition on Theft
The Qur'an forbids theft: 5:38, 5:50
4. Prohibition on Murder
The Qur'an forbids murder: 5:32, 2:190
5. Prohibition on Forbidden Intercourse
There are six kinds of forbidden relations, all of which the Qur'an forbids:
a. Mother: 4:23
b. Stepmother: 4:22
c. Sister: 4:23
d. Adultery: 4:15
e. Another Man: 4:16
f. Animals: Because intercourse is limited to husband and wife, zoophilia is forbidden.
6. Prohibition on Meat
The only dietary regulation that is incumbent on non-Jews under Jewish law is the prohibition on eating meat torn from a still-convulsing animal. Islam commands the ritual slaughter of meat and its proper cutting before the animal can be eaten. [5:3]
7. The command to establish courts.
Judaism teaches that non-Jews are commanded to set up courts to make sure these laws are followed. Islam does have such courts.

Thus according to Judaism, Muhammad had all the qualifications of a prophet.
