Purely from a stand point of basic probability, for someone to accurately guess about such future events, which span across multiple nations in different time periods, many of which were outside the sphere of Muslim influence, to give so many predictions without making a single mistake, is utterly impossible. It's a powerful argument for his genuine Prophethood and inspiration by God.
Please try to stay open-minded and watch this video which shortly tells about the undeniable prophecies of Mohammad which came true.
Just these facts of prohecies which came true, might give a reason to think about Mohammads status as a person connected with the divine, thus establishing his prophet-hood. The question is how true is the opinion that Mohammad was not a genuine prophet? Who and what decides who IS a genuine prophet? By which standards and who/what established these standards int he first place?

Also, I been contemplating why does God ask for worship rituals, like christianity, judaism, islam etc. There is a logical explanation and this answer that is so obvious to me right now but wasnt before it is this: "The gods that don't require worship are forgotten". The rituals are there to make sure that from one generation to the next generations, the people wont forget the religion and its teachings.
Islam, Judaism, Christianity say it black-on-white that God doesn't require anything from humanity. The "worship" rituals are there so people won't forget and would keep the religion and its teachings in their minds, through out their daily lives.
Otherwise, most probably these teachings woulndt have survived thousands of years and many different nations and cultures.

Excuse me, but the argument "gods that don't require worship are forgotten" sounds totally irrelevant to whether seriously devoted people will forget that a god exists. The god belief has followed mankind since the dawn of time, it would be impossible for people to miss that notion. Why would I need to worship God in order to remember God, it does unfortunately not make sense. To believe in a supernatural being beyond the immediate reality does hardly require worship, in fact it just requires a bit of logic and sound reasoning.
Yes, rites and rituals are good ways of indoctrination into religions and to keep a tradition for generations, but that does not necessarily mean it is good or even right.
Written records are by far the best way of preserving knowledge over time and can be reminders of a supernatural being beyond this immediate realm.
I know you are trying to justify Islam and the act of worshipping of a deity in a traditional manner. In this forum we are not worshippers of gods even though we interact with "gods" and we know that we clearly are under a subjection to Elahem in this world. We have drawn the conclusion that it cannot any kind of worship they are after, it is too primitive.
