[[Criticism of Muhammad]] has existed since the 7th century, when Muhammad was decried by his [[Religion in pre-Islamic Arabia|non-Muslim Arab]] contemporaries for preaching monotheism, and by the [[Jewish tribes of Arabia]] for his perceived appropriation of Biblical narratives and [[List of biblical names|figures]] and proclamation of himself as the "[[Seal of the Prophets]]".{{sfn|Gottheil|Montgomery|Grimme|1906}}{{sfn|Stillman|1979}}{{sfn|Goddard|2000}}{{sfn|Buhl|Welch|1993|pp=360–376}} In the [[Middle Ages]], Western and Byzantine Christians labeled him a [[False prophet#Christianity|false prophet]], the [[Antichrist]], or portrayed him as a [[Heresy in Christianity|heretic]].{{sfn|Quinn|2008}}{{sfn|Goddard|2000}}{{sfn|Curtis|2009}}{{sfn|Buhl|Welch|1993|pp=360–376}} Contemporary criticism involves questioning Muhammad's legitimacy as a prophet, his moral conduct, [[Muhammad's wives|marriages]], [[Slavery in Islam|ownership of slaves]], treatment of enemies, approach to doctrinal matters, and psychological well-being.{{sfn|Quinn|2008}}{{sfn|Cimino|2005}}{{sfn|Willis|2013}}{{sfn|Spellberg|1996}}
