Mohammedan
Mohammedan (also spelled
Muhammadan,
Mahommedan,
Mahomedan or
Mahometan) is a term for a follower of the
Islamic prophet Muhammad. 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 a misnomer.
