According to muslim beliefs, why did muhammad become a prophet? he was said to have received a message from an angel. he became a powerful military leader. he was said to have had a vision while he was sleeping. he was said to have been visited by several of the muslim gods.

The correct answer is: He was said to have received a message from an angel.

When meditating, Muhammad received a revelation from the Archangel Gabriel, who said he had been chosen as a prophet. He dedicated himself to preach the word of God, and the messages transmitted by Gabriel are recorded in the Quran .

Muhammad wasn't a militay leader before the revelation, and the vision of the angel wasn't while he was sleeping, also, there is not several muslim gods since the Islam is a monotheistic religion.
